PREFACE. 


George  Martin  Lane  died  on  the  thirtieth  of  June,  1897. 
His  Latin  Grammar ,  in  the  preparation  of  which  he  had  been 
engaged,  during  the  intervals  of  teaching  in  Harvard  University, 
for  nearly  thirty  years,  was  at  that  time  approaching  completion. 
The  first  two  hundred  and  ninety-one  pages  had  been  stereo¬ 
typed  ;  the  pages  immediately  following,  on  the  Relative  Sentence 
and  the  Conjunctive  Particle  Se?itence  through  quod  and  quia 
(pages  292-302),  together  with  the  chapter  on  the  Infinitive 
(pages  374-386),  were  ready  for  stereotyping ;  of  the  remainder 
of  the  book,  pages  303-373  and  387-436  were  in  the  form  of  a 
first  draught ;  finally,  he  had  received  a  few  weeks  before  his 
death,  but  had  never  examined,  the  manuscript  of  the  chapter 
on  Versification  (pages  442-485),  written  at  his  invitation  by 
his  former  pupil,  Dr.  Herman  W.  Hayley,  now  of  Wesleyan 
University. 

It  was  found  that  my  dear  and  honoured  master  had  left  a  writ¬ 
ten  request  that  his  work  should  be  completed  by  me,  in  consul¬ 
tation  with  his  colleagues,  Professors  Frederic  De  Forest  Allen 
and  Clement  Lawrence  Smith.  A  month  had  scarcely  passed 
when  scholars  everywhere  had  another  heavy  loss  to  mourn  in 
the  sudden  death  of  Professor  Allen.  Almost  immediately  after¬ 
wards,  Professor  Smith  left  this  country,  to  take  charge  for  a  year 
of  the  American  School  of  Classical  Studies  in  Rome,  but  not  be¬ 
fore  we  had  agreed  that  circumstances  required  the  early  publica¬ 
tion  of  the  book,  notwithstanding  his  absence.  I  was  thus  deprived 
of  two  eminent  counsellors,  whose  knowledge  and  experience  would 
have  been  of  inestimable  assistance. 

About  one  hundred  and  twenty  pages  (303-373  and  387-436), 
exclusive  of  Versification ,  were  yet  to  receive  their  final  form. 
Professor  Lane  had  determined  the  order  in  which  the  topics 
contained  in  these  pages  should  be  treated,  and  no  change  has 
been  made  in  that  order.  Most  of  the  main  principles  of  syntax,

too,  have  been  left  exactly  as  they  were  expressed  in  his  draught. 
This  draught  was  written  some  years  ago,  and,  although  he  had 
corrected  and  annotated  it  from  time  to  time,  there  is  no  doubt 
that  in  writing  it  out  afresh  he  would  have  made  many  alterations 
and  improvements  which  are  not  indicated  in  his  notes.  Conse¬ 
quently,  he  is  not  to  be  held  responsible  for  errors  and  omissions  in 
the  pages  which  had  not  received  his  final  approval.  Yet  I  con¬ 
ceived  it  my  duty  to  preserve,  so  far  as  possible,  the  very  lan¬ 
guage  of  his  corrected  draught ;  and  this,  in  the  statement  of 
almost  all  the  main  principles,  I  have  been  able  to  do.  Some 
modifications  and  some  radical  alterations  were  inevitable  ;  in 
particular,  the  treatment  of  quamvis ,  quando ,  quin ,  the  Supine , 
and  Numerals  seemed  to  call  for  much  amplification  and 
rearrangement.  I  have  also  deemed  it  necessary  to  add  some 
seventy  sections1  under  various  heads,  and  Dr.  Hayley  has  been 
good  enough  to  write  sections  2458-2510,  which  precede  his 
chapter  on  Versification.  But,  in  general,  my  principal  function 
has  been :  first,  to  provide  additional  Latin  examples  of  the  prin¬ 
ciples  which  Professor  Lane  had  formulated ;  secondly,  to  enter, 
under  the  various  principles,  historical  statements  regarding  the 
usage  in  the  Latin  writers,  drawn  from  the  best  authorities  at  my 
disposal. 

Professor  Lane’s  own  method  was  far  from  that  of  a  compiler. 
He  took  nothing  for  granted  without  thorough  investigation,  how¬ 
ever  well  established  it  might  seem,  and  he  followed  the  dic¬ 
tum  of  no  man,  however  widely  accepted  as  an  authority.  For 
example,  his  many  pupils  and  correspondents  will  remember 
how  untiring  he  was  in  his  efforts  to  arrive  at  accuracy  in  even 
the  minutest  points  of  inflection.  Thus,  for  the  List  of  Verbs 
(§§  922-1022),  he  made  entirely  new  collections,  and  admitted 
no  form  among  the  ‘  principal  parts  ’  unless  actually  found  repre¬ 
sented  in  the  authors.  In  the  details  of  syntax,  he  was  equally 
indefatigable;  the  sections  on  the  Locative  Proper  (1331-1341), 
for  instance,  contain  the  result  of  an  immense  amount  of  painful 


1  The  sections  which  I  have  added  are  as  follows  :  1866,  1873,  1878,  1879, 
1880,  1887,  1890,  1901,  1902,  1903,  1907,  1909,  1913,  1922,  1927,  1935,  1964,

2014,  2015,  2068,  2086,  2088,  2097,  2111,  2122,  2152,  2155,  2255,  2264,  2267,

research.  He  devoted  much  anxious  thought  to  the  definitions 
and  the  titles  of  the  various  constructions  :  thus,  the  distinction 
between  the  Present  of  Vivid  Narration  (1590)  and  the  Annal¬ 
istic  Present  (1591)  seems  obvious  now  that  it  is  stated;  but  to 
reach  it  many  pages  of  examples  were  collected  and  compared. 
He  held  that  examples  printed  in  the  grammar  to  illustrate  syn¬ 
tactical  principles  should  never  be  manufactured ;  they  should  be 
accurately  quoted  from  the  authors,  without  other  alteration  than 
the  omission  of  words  by  which  the  construction  under  illustra¬ 
tion  was  not  affected.  He  was  careful,  also,  not  to  use  an  example 
in  which  there  was  any  serious  doubt  as  to  the  text  in  that  part 
which  covered  the  principle  illustrated  by  the  example.  To 
‘  Hidden  Quantity  ’  he  had  given  much  attention,  and  many  of 
the  results  of  his  studies  in  this  subject  were  published,  in  1889, 
in  the  School  Dictionary  by  his  friend  Dr.  Lewis.  Since  that  time 
he  had  found  reason  to  change  his  views  with  regard  to  some 
words,  and  these  changes  are  embodied  in  the  present  book,  in 
which  he  marked  every  vowel  which  he  believed  to  be  long  in 
quantity. 

The  order  in  which  the  divisions  and  subdivisions  of  grammar 
are  here  presented  will  not  seem  strange  to  those  who  are  ac¬ 
quainted  with  the  recent  grammars  published  by  Germans.  It  is 
the  scientific  order  of  presentation,  whatever  order  a  teacher  may 
think  fit  to  follow  in  his  actual  practice.  The  table  of  contents 
has  been  made  so  full  as  to  serve  as  a  systematic  exposition  of 
the  scheme,  and  to  make  needless  any  further  words  upon  it  here. 
In  the  Appendix  Professor  Lane  would  have  inserted,  out  of  defer¬ 
ence  to  custom,  a  chapter  on  the  Arrangement  of  Words ;  but 
the  draught  of  it  which  he  left  was  too  fragmentary  for  publica¬ 
tion.  Since  the  proper  preparation  of  the  chapter  would  have 
greatly  delayed  the  publication  of  the  book,  it  was  thought  best 
to  omit  it  altogether,  at  least  for  the  present.  This  topic,  in  fact, 
like  some  others  in  the  Appendix ,  belongs  rather  to  a  treatise  on 
Latin  Composition  than  to  a  Latin  Grammar. 

For  the  indexes,  and  for  much  valuable  help  in  proof  reading, 
I  heartily  thank  Dr.  J.  W.  Walden,  another  of  Professor  Lane’s 
pupils. 

In  the  course  of  his  work,  Professor  Lane  frequently  consulted 
his  colleagues  and  other  distinguished  scholars  both  in  this  country 
and  in  Europe.  He  gratefully  welcomed  their  advice,  and  care- 


Preface . 


fully  considered  and  often  adopted  their  suggestions.  Had  he 
lived  to  write  a  preface,  he  would  doubtless  have  thanked  by  name 
those  to  whom  he  considered  himself  as  under  particular  obliga¬ 
tion,  whether  from  direct  •  correspondence  or  through  the  use  of 
their  published  works ;  but  it  is  obvious  that  the  information  in 
my  possession  will  not  allow  me  to  attempt  this  pleasant  duty. 
Of  Professor  Lane’s  pupils,  also,  not  a  few,  while  in  residence  as 
advanced  students  at  the  University,  were  from  time  to  time  en¬ 
gaged  in  the  collection  of  material  which  he  used  in  the  gram¬ 
mar.  They,  like  his  other  helpers,  must  now  be  content  with 
the  thought  of  the  courteous  acknowledgment  which  they  would 
have  received  from  him.

LATIN  GRAMMAR 


I.  Latin  Grammar  has  two  parts.  I.  The  first  part 
treats  of  words :  (A.)  their  sound ;  (B.)  their  forma¬ 
tion;  (C.)  their  inflection.  II.  The  second  part  shows 
how  words  are  joined  together  in  sentences. 


PART  FIRST  *  WORDS 


PARTS  OF  SPEECH. 

2.  The  principal  kinds  of  words  or  Parts  of  Speech  are  Nouns, 
Verbs ,  and  Conjunctions. 

3.  I.  Nouns  are  Substantive  or  Adjective. 

4.  (A.)  Nouns  Substantive,  otherwise  called  Substantives,  are 
divided,  as  to  meaning,  into  Concrete  and  Abstract. 

5.  (t.)  Concrete  Substantives  denote  persons  or  things.  Concrete 
Substantives  are  subdivided  into  Proper  Names,  which  denote  individual 
persons  or  things:  as,  CicerS,  Cicero;  Roma,  Pome;  and  Common  Names, 
otherwise  called  Appellatives,  which  denote  one  or  more  of  a  class:  as, 

homo,  man ;  taurus,  bull. 

6.  Appellatives  which  denote  a  collection  of  single  things  are  called  Collec¬ 
tives :  as,  turba,  crowd;  exercitus,  army.  Appellatives  which  denote  stuff,  quan¬ 
tity,  material,  things  not  counted,  but  having  measure  or  weight,  are  called  Material 
Substantives:  as,  vinum,  wine;  ferrum,  iron;  faba,  horsebeans. 

7.  (2.)  Abstract  Substantives  denote  qualities,  states,  conditions  : 
as,  rubor,  redness ;  aequitas ,  fairness;  solitudo,  loneliness. 

8.  (B.)  Nouns  Adjective,  otherwise  called  Adjectives,  at¬ 
tached  to  substantives,  describe  persons  or  things :  as,  ruber,  red; 
aequus,y^/ry  s51us,  alone. 

9.  Pronouns  are  words  of  universal  application  which  serve 
as  substitutes  for  nouns. 

Thus,  taurus,  bull,  names,  and  ruber,  red,  describes,  particular  things  ;  but  ego, 
/,  is  universally  applicable  to  any  speaker,  and  meus,  mine ,  to  anything  belonging 
to  any  speaker.

IO-I7-] 


Words :  Sound. 


10.  Adverbs  are  mostly  cases  of  nouns  used  to  denote  manner,  place, 
time  or  degree:  as,  subito,  suddenly  ;  foras,  out  of  doors  ;  diu,  long ;  valde, 

mightily,  very. 

11.  Prepositions  are  adverbs  which  are  used  to  modify  as  prefixes  the 
meaning  of  verbs,  or  to  define  more  nicely  the  meaning  of  cases :  as,  voc5, 
l  call,  evoco,  I  call  out ;  ex  urb e,from  town. 

12.  II.  Verbs  are  words  which  denote  action,  including 
existence  or  condition:  as,  regit,  he  guides  ;  est,  he  is;  latet, 
he  is  hid. 

13.  III.  Conjunctions  connect  sentences,  nouns,  or  verbs  :  as, 
et,  and ;  sed,  but. 

14.  Interjections  are  cries  which  express  feeling,  and  are  not  usually  a  part  of 
the  sentence:  as,  a,  ah;  heu,  alas. 

15.  There  is  no  Article  in  Latin  :  thus,  mensa  may  denote  table ,  a  table , 
or  the  table.

The  sound  indicated  by  -ay  above,  as  ‘  bay ,’  is  only  approximate  ;  the 
true  sound  is  that  of  the  French  e  in  fete ;  see  36. 

17.  The  Latin  alphabet,  which  originally  consisted  of  capitals  only,  was,  with  the 
exception  of  G,  borrowed  from  the  Greeks  of  Cumae,  but  the  letters  were  called  by 
a  new  set  of  names.  The  letter  C  (first  written  <)  and  K  had  originally  the  sound 
of  the  Greek  T  and  K.  Afterwards  K  dropped  out  of  general  use,  and  the  sign 
C  stood  for  both  sounds.  But  as  this  proved  inconvenient,  a  new  character,  G, 
was  formed  by  adding  a  stroke  to  the  C.  This  was  used  for  the  old  <,  while  C 
kept  the  k  sound  only.  Occasionally  q  is-written  for  c  :  as,  pequnia  for  pecunia, 
money ;  qum  for  cum,  with. 


2 


Vowels. 


[18-30. 


18.  K  and  the  old-fashioned  character  for  G,  namely  C,  were  kept  in  abbrevia¬ 
tions  :  as,  K.,  for  kalendae,  calends;  C.,  for  Gaius ;  3.,  for  Gaia;  Cn.  for 
Gnaeus. 

19.  In  Cicero’s  time  two  other  letters  were  already  in  use  in  Greek  words  ; 
these  were  always  called  by  their  Greek  names,  and  were  placed  at  the  end 
of  the  alphabet;  they  are  Y,  named  ii  (35),  and  Z,  named  zeta. 

20.  Before  the  introduction  of  these  letters,  u  was  used  for  the  Greek  Y  :  as 
Burrus,  later  Pyrrhus  ;  and  s,  or,  as  a  medial,  ss,  for  Z  :  as,  sona,  belt ,  later 
z5na;  malacissS,  /  soften. 

21.  The  characters  I  and  V  represent  not  only  the  two  vowels 
i  and  u,  but  also  their  cognate  consonants,  named  consonant  i  and 
consonant  u,  and  equivalent  to  the  English  y  and  w  respectively. 

22.  The  consonant  i  was  sometimes  represented  by  a  taller  letter,  especially  in  the 
imperial  age:  as,  maIor  ,  greater  ;  or  a  double  i  was  written:  as,  eiivs,  of  him; 
Graiiugenarum,  of  Greek-born  men  (Lucr.) ;  aii5,  I  say;  Maiia  (Cic.).  Some¬ 
times  the  two  designations  were  confounded,  a  double  i  being  written,  and  one  or  the 
other  letter  made  taller:  as,  Eiivs  or  Eiivs. 

23.  In  schoolbooks  and  most  texts  of  the  authors,  the  vowel  u  is 
printed  U,  u,  and  the  consonant  V,  v.  A  character,  J,  j,  was  introduced  in 
the  17th  century,  to  indicate  the  consonant  i.  But  this  character  is  no 
longer  usual  in  editions  of  the  authors,  and  will  probably  soon  disappear 
from  schoolbooks. 

24.  The  distinction  between  u  and  v  is  not  always  made  very  consistently :  q 
has  regularly,  and  g  and  s  have  sometimes,  an  aftersound  of  w,  best  represented  by 
v ;  but  the  usual  practice  is  to  write  u,  as  in  the  following  disyllables  :  qubrum, 
of  whom;  anguis,  snake;  suavis,  sweet. 

25.  The  alphabet  represents  a  series  of  sounds,  ranging  from  the  fullest  vowel 
sound  a,  to  a  mere  explosion,  as,  c,  t,  or  p.  These  sounds  are  roughly  divided 
into  vowels  and  consonants. 


VOWELS. 

26.  The  vowels,  a,  e,  i,  o,  u  (y),  are  either  long  or 
short.  The  sound  of  a  long  vowel  is  considered  to  be 
twice  the  length  of  that  of  a  short. 

27.  The  same  characters  are  ordinarily  used  to  denote  both  long  and 
short  vowels.  But  at  different  periods  long  vowels  were  often  indicated  in 
inscriptions  thus  : 

28.  (1.)  From  134  B.c.  to  74  b.c.,  long  a,  e,  or  u  was  sometimes  doubled  :  as, 
AAR  A,  altar  ;  paastores,  shepherds;  leege,  by  law ;  IWS,  right. 

2g.  (2.)  Long  i  was  often  denoted  (<z.)  From  134  B.c.  on,  by  the  spelling  ei :  as, 
darei,  be  given  ;  redieit,  has  come  back ;  interieisti,  hast  died,  (b.)  From  88 
B.c.  on,  by  a  taller  letter  (‘  i  longa')-.  as,  hIc,  this  ;  eIxa,  fastened.  But  li  longa  ’ 
is  often  used  for  initial  consonant  i,  or  for  decorative  purposes. 

3°.  (3.)  From  63  B.c.  on,  a  mark  called  an  apex  was  often  put  over  a 

long  vowel :  as,  f£cit,  made;  hortInsivs  ;  dvvmviratvs,  duumvirate.  The  apex 
was  written  '  in  the  imperial  age,  and  was  turned  by  the  grammarians  into  the

31.  In  schoolbooks,  a  long  vowel  is  indicated  by  a  horizontal  line  over 
it:  as,  ara,  altar ;  mensis,  month;  ordo,  series.  A  short  vowel  is  some¬ 
times  indicated  by  a  curved  mark:  as,  p£r,  through ;  dux,  leader ;  but  this 
mark  is  unnecessary  if  long  vowels  are  systematically  marked.  A  long  vowel 
which  is  sometimes  shortened  in  pronunciation  is  called  common ,  and  is 
marked  ^  :  as,  mihf,  to  me. 

PRONUNCIATION  OF  VOWELS. 

32.  The  sound  of  a  vowel  is  the  same  as  its  name. 

33.  The  long  vowels  are  pronounced  thus  :  a  as  in  father ; 
e  as  e  in  the  French  fete;  I  as  in  machine ;  6  nearly  as  in  tone; 
u  as  in  rule. 

34-  The  short  vowels  have  the  same  sounds,  shortened  :  a  as  in 
the  first  syllable  of  papa  ;  e  nearly  as  in  step ;  i  as  in  pit,  but  with  a 
little  more  of  an  ee  sound  ;  o  as  in  obey  j  u  as  in  pull. 

35.  The  sound  of  y  (short  or  long)  is  intermediate  between  u  and  i, 
like  the  French  it,  or  German  it.  Short  u  also  before  b,  p,  m,  or  f,  passed 
into  this  sound,  and  then  into  i:  as,  lacruma,  lacrima,  tear ;  optumus, 
optimus,  best. 

36\  The  names  of  the  English  letters  a  and  o  are  a  pretty  close  approximation  to 
the  Latin  sounds  e  and  o.  But  the  English  a  and  o  are  both  diphthongs,  a  having  a 
vanishing  sound  of  ee  (not  heard  in  the  e  of  fete),  and  o  of  oo,  while  the  Latin  e  or  o 
has  one  sustained  sound. 


CLASSIFICATION  OF  VOWELS. 

37.  Vowels  are  divided  into  open,  otherwise  called 
strong ,  and  close ,  otherwise  called  weak.  The  most 
open  vowel  is  a,  a  ;  less  open  are  o,  6,  and  e,  e. 
The  close  vowels  are  u,  u  (y,  y),  and  i,  i. 

38.  a  is  uttered  from  the  expanded  throat ;  u  is  labial,  made  by 
narrowing  and  rounding  the  lips,  and  i  is  palatal,  o  stands  between 
a  and  u  ;  e  between  a  and  i  ;  and  y  between  u  and  i. 


DIPHTHONGS. 

39.  The  combined  sound  of  an  open  vowel  and  a 
closer  one  is  called  a  Diphthong .  All  diphthongs  are 
long. 

40.  In  their  origin  diphthongs  are  of  two  kinds  :  (a.)  root  diphthongs  :  as  in  foedus, 
treaty  ;  aurum,  gold ;  or  ( b .)  the  result  of  vowels  meeting  in  formation,  composition, 
or  inflection  :  see  99.

[4I_49- 


41.  The  common  diphthongs  are  au,  ae,  and  oe.  Uncommon 
diphthongs  are  ui,  formed  by  the  union  of  two  close  vowels,  and  eu  ; 
also  the  following,  which  are  chiefly  confined  to  old  inscriptions  : 

ai,  ei,  ou,  oi. 

PRONUNCIATION  OF  DIPHTHONGS. 

42.  The  common  diphthongs  are  pronounced  thus  :  au  like 
ou  in  house ;  ae  like  ay  or  ai  in  ay ,  aisle;  oe  like  oi  in  , 
spoil. 

43.  The  uncommon  diphthongs  are  pronounced  thus :  ui  like  oo-ee, 
eu  like  eh-oo,  and  ai  like  ah-ee ,  all  rapidly  uttered;  ei  as  in  eight;  ou  like 
oh-oo,  and  oi  like  oh-e e,  both  rapidly  uttered. 


CONSONANTS. 

PRONUNCIATION  OF  CONSONANTS. 

44.  Most  of  the  consonants  are  pronounced  as  in 
English.  The  following  points  must  be  noticed  : 

45.  b  before  s  or  t  has  the  sound  of  p  :  as,  abs,  pronounced  aps ; 
obtero,  pronounced  opterd.  c  is  always  like  k.  g  as  in  garden ,  gate,  give; 
never  as  in  gentle,  j  has  the  sound  of  the  English  consonant  y. 

46.  m  at  the  end  of  a  word  is  hardly  sounded,  and  in  verse  when  it 
comes  before  a  vowel  usually  disappears  with  the  preceding  vowel.  n 
before  c,  g,  q,  or  x,  called  l7i  adulter  mum'  or  ‘spurious  n,’  has  a  guttural 
sound,  thus:  nc  as  in  uncle ;  ng  as  in  angle ,  ngu  as  in  sanguine;  nqu  as 
nkw  in  inkiviper  ;  nx  as  in  lynx,  qu  is  like  the  English  qu  (24). 

47.  s  as  in  sin,  not  with  the  sound  of  z,  as  in  ease.  Care  should  also  be 
taken  not  to  sound  final  s  as  z.  In  old  Latin  final  s  has  a  weak  sound, 
and  often  drops  off.  su,  when  it  makes  one  syllable  with  the  following 
vowel,  is  like  S7U  in  srveet  (24).  t  sounds  always  as  in  time ,  never  as  in 
nation,  v  is  like  the  English  70.  x  is  a  double  consonant,  standing  for  cs, 
and  so  sounded ;  never  as  gs  or  gz. 

48.  When  consonants  are  doubled,  each  consonant  is  distinctly  sounded  : 
thus,  terra,  earth,  sounded  ter-ra,  not  ‘  ter-a ;  ’  an-nus ,  year,  not  ‘  an-usl 
But  11  does  not  differ  very  materially  from  1.  Consonants  were  not  doubled 
in  writing  till  after  200  B.C.,  and  for  more  than  a  century  after  the  usage 
is  variable  ;  but  it  must  not  be  inferred  that  they  were  pronounced  as  sin¬ 
gle  consonants. 

49.  About  100  b.c.  the  combinations  ch,  ph,  and  th  were  introduced  in 
Greek  words  to  represent  x,  <f>i  and  0;  as  Philippus,  for  the  older  Pilipos. 
Somewhat  later  these  combinations  were  in  general  use  in  some  Latin  words :  as,  pul- 
cher,  triumphus,  Cethegus.  ch  is  thought  to  have  been  pronounced  like  kh 
in  blockhead,  ph  as  in  uphill,  and  th  as  in  hothouse.  But  in  practice  ch  is  usually 
sounded  as  in  the  German  machen  or  ich,  ph  as  in  graphic ,  and  th  as  in  pathos.

CLASSIFICATION  OF  CONSONANTS. 

50.  Consonants  may  be  classed  in  three  ways,  thus  : 

51.  (1.)  In  respect  of  continuity  of  sound:  consonants  which  admit  pro¬ 
longation  are  called  Continuous  sounds :  as,  1,  m,  s;  those  which  do  not  are 
called  Momentary  sounds,  Mutes ,  or  Explosives :  as,  t,  p. 

52.  (2.)  In  respect  of  intonation:  consonants  which  have  resonance  are 
called  Sonants:  as,  m,  b;  consonants  which  are  mere  puffs  without  reso¬ 
nance  are  called  Surds:  as,  c,  t,  p. 

53.  (3.)  In  respect  of  the  organs  of  voice  chiefly  employed:  consonants 
are  divided  into  Guttural,  or  throat  sounds,  as,  g,  c ;  Lingual,  or  tongue 
sounds,  as,  1,  d;  and  Labial,  or  lip  sounds,  as,  m,  b.  i  is  Palatal  and  f  Labio¬ 
dental. 

54-  The  threefold  classification  is  shown  in  the  following  table  :

VOWEL  CHANGE. 

LENGTHENING. 

55.  When  a  consonant  disappears,  its  time  is  sometimes  absorbed 
by  a  preceding  short  vowel,  which  thereby  becomes  long.  This  is 
called  Compensation  :  as, 

Sextius,  Sestius  ;  *sexcentl,  sescenti,  six  hundred;  sexdecim,  sede- 
cim,  sixteen  (134) ;  ex,  e,  out  of  (\ 42);  *magior,  maior,  greater  (135);  *abiets, 
abies,  fir  (137).  Very  often  however  the  vowel  is  not  affected.

Vowel  Change:  Shortening.  [56-63. 


56.  In  noun  stems  in  -o-  the  stem  vowel  is  lengthened  in  the  genitive 
plural  -orum  :  as,  serv5rum,  of  slaves. 


SHORTENING. 

57.  A  vowel  originally  long  is  regularly  shortened 
before  another  vowel,  and  often  also  in  the  last  sylla¬ 
ble  of  a  word  of  more  than  one  syllable  :  as, 

fui,  /  have  been ,  fieri,  become ,  Lucius;  N.  aquila,  eagle ;  for  the  older 
fuf,  fieri,  Lucius  ;  N.  aquila. 

58.  Exceptional  examples  are  found  in  old  Latin  of  a  vowel  preserved 
long  before  a  vowel  :  as,  fide! ;  ais ;  clueat  (Plaut.)  ;  adnuit  (Enn.)  ;  fvveit 
(inscr.,  28)  ;  fuit,  fuimus  (Plaut.).  For  such  vowels  regularly  long,  see  159. 

59.  In  certain  specific  endings,  a  vowel  which  was  originally 
long  is  regularly  short  in  the  classical  period  :  as  in, 

(<?.)  Noun  endings  :  -a  in  the  nominative  of  -a-  stems,  and  in  the  nomina¬ 
tive  and  accusative  plural  neuter  ;  -e  in  the  ablative  of  consonant  stems,  and 
in  the  ending  of  the  present  infinitive  active  ;  nominatives  in  -or,  neuter 
comparatives  in  -us,  and  the  dative  and  ablative  plural  suffix  -bus. 

(b.)  Verb  endings :  the  singular  in  -m  and  -t,  before  -nt  or  -nd,  and  -or 
and  -ar  in  the  passive. 

60.  In  a  few  pyrrhic  words  (~  ~)  in  -i,  which  were  originally 
iambic  (~  -),  the  poets  in  all  periods  retained  final  -I  at  pleasure  : 
these  are, 

mihi,  tibl,  sibf  ;  ibl,  ubl ;  also  alicubl.  The  i  of  bi  is  always  short  in 
necubi  and  slcubi,  and  usually  in  ubinam,  ubivis  and  ubicumque  ;  ibidem 
is  used  by  the  dramatists,  ibidem  in  hexameter,  ubtque  has  always  I. 

61.  In  old  dramatic  verse  iambic  words  _)  often  shorten  the  long 
vowel.  The  poets  after  Plautus  and  Terence  preserve  the  long  vowel. 

(a.)  Nouns:  G.  eri,  boni,  preti.  D.  cani,  ero,  malo.  L.  domi,  heri; 
uti.  Ab.  levi,  manu,  domo,  bona,  fide.  Plural:  N.  fores,  viri.  IX, 
Ab.  bonis.  Ac.  foris,  viros,  bonas.  (b.)  Verbs:  eo,  volo,  ago ;  ero,  dabo; 
vides  ;  loces  ;  voles ;  dedi,  dedin  ;  roga,  veni ;  later  poets  sometimes  retain 
cave,  vale,  and  vide.  The  vowel  may  also  be  shortened  when  -n  (1503)  is  added 
and  s  is  dropped  before  -n  :  rogan,  abin  ;  viden  is  also  retained  by  later  poets. 

62.  A  vowel  not  of  the  last  syllable  is  shortened  in  some  words  before  a  conso¬ 
nant :  as,_gl5mus  (Lucr. ),  glomus  (Hor.);  cdturnix  (Plaut.,  Lucr.),  coturnlx 
(Ov. );  defrutum  (Plaut.),  defrutum  (Verg.).  calefacid,  calefacid  (394 ); 
steterunt,  steterunt  (857);  egerimus,  egerimus  (876). 


Preservation  of  Long  Vowels  in  Old  Latin. 

63.  Examples  of  the  preservation  of  a  long  vowel  in  certain 
specific  endings  occur  in  old  Latin.  In  classical  Latin  also  the  long  ’ 
vowels  are  sometimes  preserved,  but  usually  only  before  the  caesura 
or  other  strong  pause  in  the  verse.

64-73-] 


Words:  Sound, 


64.  (1.)  in  the  final  syllable  of  nouns  a  long  vowel  is  sometimes 
preserved  as  follows : 

65.  Final  -a  is  sometimes  preserved  long  in  :  (a.)  The  nominative  singular  of -a- 

stems  :  as,  familia  (Plaut.),  aquila  (Enn.).  (b.)  The  nominative  and  accusative 

plural  neuter:  as,  oppida,  cetera,  omnia  (Plaut.)-  Final  -6  is  sometimes  pre¬ 
served  long  in  the  adverbs  cito  and  modo,  which  have  usually  -6  (2442).  Final  -e  is 
sometimes  preserved  long  in:  (a.)  The  ablative  of  consonant  stems:  as,  ordine, 
dote  (Plant.),  pariete  (Enn.),  tempore  (Ter.).  ( b .)  The  present  infinitive 

active  :  as,  dare,  promere  ;  in  fieri  the  ending  always  remained  -i. 

66.  Final  -5r  is  sometimes  preserved  long  in  the  nominative  singular  :  as,  clamSr 
(Enn.);  soror,  uxor;  exercitdr,  gubernator;  stultior,  longior  (Plaut.) . 

67.  Final  -us  in  the  neuter  of  comparatives  is  rare :  as,  longius  (Plaut.);  also 
in  the  dative  and  ablative  plural  suffix  -bus  :  as,  capitibus  (Naev.),  aedibus 
(Plaut.). 

68.  (2.)  A  long  vowel  is  sometimes  preserved  before  -t  in  the 
third  person  singular  active,  or  before  -r  in  the  first  person  singular 
passive  of  the  verb  :  as, 

(a.)  Before  -t :  -it:  indicative  present  of  verbs  in  -ire:  as,  eit  or  it,  scit 
(Plaut.) ;  tinnit  (Enn.) ;  rarely  in  that  of  verbs  in  -ere  :  as,  percipit,  ait  (Plaut.), 

J)onit,  nictit  (Enn.);  contemnit  (Lucil.);  future:  erit,  venibit  (Plaut.);  per- 
ect :  vendidit  (Plaut.),  fvveit.  Subjunctive  present:  sit,  possit,  velit, 
(Plaut.);  perfect:  adduxerit  (Plaut.).  -at:  indicative  present:  as,  amat,  arat, 
adflictat  (Plaut.);  manat  (Enn.),  decoraat  (inscr.,  28),  geminat  (Lucil.); 
imperfect:  pSnebat  (Enn.).  Subjunctive  present:  fuat,  praetereat,  sciat 
(Plaut.),  augeat  (Ter.),  -et  :  indicative  present:  iacet  (Plaut.).  Subjunctive 
present:  det,  neget  (Plaut.) ;  imperfect  and  pluperfect :  esset,  fuisset  (Enn.). 

(. b .)  Before  -r :  moror;  loquar,  opprimar  (Plaut.);  rarely  -or  in  the 
future:  as,  fatebor  (Plaut.). 


WEAKENING. 

6g.  A  stronger  vowel  sound  often  sinks  to  a 
weaker  one. 

70.  The  weakening  is  sometimes  a  gradual  process  :  thus,  in  old  Latin  an  o 
often  occurs  where  in  later  Latin  an  u  is  found  :  as,  flovios,  pocolom,  later  flu- 
vius,  river ,  pdculum,  cup;  but  it  often  occurs  in  formation,  composition,  or 
inflection,  particularly  when  a  syllable  is  prefixed  or  when  the  accent  is  shifted  from 
its  original  place.  Any  vowel  may  sink  to  i,  the  weakest  vowel.  The  particular 
sound  at  which  the  weakening  is  arrested  is  usually  determined  by  the  affinity  of  the 
vowel  for  the  following  consonant  :  see  106. 

71.  At  the  end  of  a  word  e  is  a  favourite  sound,  taking  the  place  not 
only  of  o,  but  of  the  weaker  i :  as,  V.  *servo,  serve,  thou  slave ;  magis, 
mage,  more  ;  N.  and  Ac.,  *mari,  mare,  sea ;  *turpi,  turpe,  base. 

72.  (1.)  Weakening  of  a.  a  to  u  :  salsus,  salted,  insulsus,  unsalted; 
taberna,  hut,  contubernium ,  living  together . 

73.  a  to  e :  paro,  I  get  ready ,  impero,  /  command;  *peparl,  peperi,  / 
brought  forth;  *fefalll,  fefelli,  /  deceived;  carpo,  /  pluck,  discerpo,  /  tear 
apart;  ars,  art,  iners,  unskilful;  factus,  made,  perfectus,  finished,  a  to  e 
rarely  :  halo,  /  breathe,  anhelb,  I  gasp  up,  pant.

o  was  long  retained  in  many  words  after  u,  v,  or  qu,  but  sank  to  u  about 
Augustus’s  time,  or  later:  servos,  servom,  servus,  servum,  slave;  volt, 
vult,  he  wishes;  vivont,  vivunt ,  they  live;  sequontur,  secuntur,  they  follow 
(112).  5  to  u:  quor,  cur,  why;  hoc,  hue ,  hither ;  illoc,  illuc,  1  hither. 

76.  o  to  e  :  bonus,  good,  bellus,  pretty  ;  *piotas,  pietas,  dutifulness  (105) ; 
*istos,  iste,  that;  *servo,  serve,  thou  slave  (71). 

77.  o  to  i:  *cardonis,  cardinis,  of  a  hinge;  *carotas,  caritas,  dear¬

DIPHTHONG  DECAY. 

80.  Of  the  six  original  diphthongs  au,  ou,  eu,  and  ai, 
oi,  ei,  the  only  one  which  preserved  its  original  sound  in 
the  classical  period  is  au.  ou,  ai,  oi  and  ei  passed  away 
about  130  to  90  b.c. 

81.  Change  of  au.  Though  au  is  usually  preserved,  in  some  words  a  and  u 
converged  to  5:  as,  caudex,  block ,  codex,  book;  fauces,  throat,  fbcale,  neck¬ 
cloth;  particularly  in  the  pronunciation  of  the  vulgar:  as,  caupo,  c5p5,  inn¬ 
keeper;  plaustrum,  plostrum  {barge),  cart;  Claudius,  Clodius.  In  a  few 
words  au  passed  into  u  :  as,  claudo,  cludo,  I  shut. 

82.  Change  of  ou.  ou,  found  in  inscriptions  down  to  about  90  b.c.,  usually 
passed  into  u  :  as,  povblicom,  novntiata,  iovservnt,  later  publicum,  public , 
nuntiata,  notified,  iusserunt,  they  ordered;  sometimes  into  6:  as,  novnae, 
nonae,  nones;  *moutus,  motus,  moved. 

.  83*  Change  of  eu.  eu  occurs  in  Leucesius,  later  Lucetius.  Other¬ 
wise  eu  has  disappeared  in  root  syllables,  and  is  found  only  in  a  few  compounds  (40) : 
neuter,  neither,  neu,  nor,  seu,  whether,  and  ceu,  as;  in  the  interjections  heu, 
eheu,  or  eheu,  alas ;  and  in  Greek  words. 

84.  Change  of  ai,  ae.  ai  is  common  in  inscriptions;  about  130  to  100  b.c. 
it.  was  displaced  by  ae  in  public  documents  and  literature ;  but  the  old-fashioned 
ai  was  often  retained  in  private  inscriptions. 

85*.  The  diphthong  ae  sank  very  slowly  indeed  to  the  sound  of  simple  e.  In 
provincial  Latin  e  is  found  as  early  as  200  b.c.  :  as,  cesvla  for  caesvlla  (tascr.); 
in  Rome  itself  before  100  b.c.  the  pronunciation  ‘  Cecilius  ’  for  Caecilius,  and 
‘pretor’  for  praetor  is  derided  as  boorish  ;  but  by  71  a.d.  ae  was  verging  toward  e 
even  in  the  court  language:  the  coins  of  Vespasian  have  ivdea  as  well  as  ivdaea. 
In  the  3d  and  4th  century  a.d.  e  became  the  prevalent  sound.

Words:  Sound. 


86.  ai,  ae  is  weakened  in  composition  and  inflection  to  ei,  then  to  I  :  as, 
caedo,  /  cut ,  inceido,  incido,  I  cut  in,  cecidl,  I  have  cut ;  aequos,/zzzV,  irri- 
quos,  tin  fair ;  *viais,  vieis,  viis  ,byways.  In  the  present  subjunctive  and  future 
indicative,  ai  becomes  e :  as  ^daimus,  demus,  us  give  {S3 9,840);  *regaimus, 
regemus,  we  shall  guide  (852). 

87.  Change  of  oi,  oe.  oi  passed  about  130  b.c.  into  oe,  sometimes  into 
u,  as  foideratei,  oino,  later  foederati,  in  treaty ,  unum,  one.  Similarly  in 
compounds:  prbvidens,  prudens , foreseeing,  oi,  oe  sometimes  passed  into  ei, 
which  in  its  turn  became  i :  as,  loebertas,  leibertas,  libertas,  freedom. 
Also  in  inflection:  as,  *locois,  loceis,  locis,  in  places.  In  non,  not ,  for  noe- 
num,  it  became  5.  oi  passed  into  ui  in  huic,  to  this ,  and  cui,  to  whom  (cuique, 
cuiquam,  &c.),  for  the  older  hoic  and  quoi  (quoique,  &c.). 

88.  Change  of  ei.  ei  as  a  genuine  diphthong  is  common  in  old  inscriptions, 
especially  in  inflection  ;  it  was  afterwards  weakened  to  i :  as,  deixervnt,  veixsit, 
later  dixerunt,  they  said ,  vixit,  he  lived ;  vieis,  viis,  by  ways  (S6);  virei,  viri, 
men  ;  doneis,  dSnis,  by  gifts  (87).  For  ei  as  an  indication  of  i,  see  29. 


DEVELOPMENT. 

89.  A  short  vowel  sometimes  grows  up  before  a  continuous 
sound,  r,  or  m.  This  is  sometimes  called  Insertion. 

*imbr,  imber,  shower ;  *acr,  acer,  sharp;  *celebr,  celeber,  thronged ; 
*agr,  ager,  field;  agro-,  *agerulus,  agellus,  little  field.  *smus,  sumus, 

we  are. 

90.  When  Greek  words  are  used  in  old  Latin,  a  short  vowel  grows  up  between  c 
and  1,  c  and  m,  and  c  or  m  and  n:  as,  Patricoles  for  Patroclus  ( 107) ; 
Aesculapius  (108);  Tecumessa,  Alcumena,  drachuma,  drachma  (108); 
techina,  trick;  mina,  mina ,  guminasium,  gymnasium  (111). 


DISAPPEARANCE. 

91.  A  short  vowel  sometimes  disappears,  particu¬ 
larly  when  its  sound  is  absorbed  in  that  of  a  continuous 
consonant. 

92.  (1.)  Initial  Disappearance.  Initial  short  e  is  lost  before  s  in 
sum  for  esum.  Initial  loss  is  sometimes  called  Aphaeresis. 

93.  (2.)  Medial  Disappearance.  Medial  short  e  sometimes 
disappears  before  r,  and  medial  short  u  before  1.  Medial  absorption 
is  sometimes  called  Sy?icope. 

infera,  infra,  below;  dextera,  dextra,  right ;  asperis,  aspris,  rough; 
discipulina,  disciplina,  training. 

94.  Medial  short  i  sometimes  disappears  between  1,  r,  or  s,  and 
a  following  d  or  t  :  as, 

valide,  valde,  mightily ;  solidum,  soldum,  sum  total;  pueritia,  puertia, 
boyhood ;  *llberitas,  libertas,  freedom.  Occasionally  between  other  consonants  : 
as,  audaciter,  audacter,  boldly. 

95.  Medial  short  e,  u,  or  i  disappears  in  many  compounds,  even  in 
the  root  syllable  :  as, 

IO 


[96-102. 


Vowel  Chancre  :  Hiatus . 

o 


*repepuli,  reppull,  /  pushed  back  (858)  ;  *manuceps,  manceps,  con¬ 
tractor  ;  *primiceps,  princeps,  first;  purigS,  purgo,  I  clean;  positus, 
'posXus,  placed ;  surrigo,  surgo,  /  rise. 

96.  (3.)  Final  Disappearance.  A  final  vowel  disappears  in 
some  classes  of  words.  The  loss  of  a  final  vowel  is  sometimes 
called  Apocope. 

*pueros,  puer,  boy  (142);  puere,  puer,  thou  boy;  animate,  animal, 
breathing  thing ;  poste,  post,  after.  Also  e  in  the  imperatives  die,  say,  due,  lead , 
and  fac,  do;  in  the  enclitics  -ce,  -ne,  not ,  and  -ne  interrogative:  *sei-ce,  sic, 
so;  hlce,  hie,  this;  *quine,  quin,  why  not;  habesne,  haben,  hast  thou. 


HIATUS.  CONTRACTION.  ELISION. 

97-  A  succession  of  two  vowel  sounds  not  making  a  diphthong 
is  called  Hiatus.  Hiatus  in  a  word  is  often  due  to  the  loss  of  a 

consonant.  It  is  common  when  the  first  vowel  is  u,  i,  or  e  ;  but  in 

general  it  is  avoided  :  (A.)  by  contraction  ;  or  (B.)  by  elision. 

98.  (A.)  Contraction.  Two  successive  vowels  in  a  word 
often  combine  and  form  a  diphthong  or  a  long  vowel.  This  is 
called  Contraction. 

99.  (1.)  When  the  first  vowel  is  open  and  the  second  close,  they 
often  unite  in  a  diphthong  :  as, 

*Gna-ivos,  Gnaivos,  Gnaeus  ;  *co-epio,  coepio,  I  begin,  co-epi  (Lucr.), 
coepi,  I  began;  re-ice,  reic z,  drive  back  ;  pro-inde,  proinde,  so;  ne  uter, 
neuter,  neither;  V.  S.  and  N.  PI.  Pompel,  Pompei;  G.  S.  and  N.  PI. 

familia-I,  familiai,  familiae,  of  a  household,  households ;  D.  S.  el,  ei,  to  him; 

ais,  ain,  ait,  aibam,  thou  sayest,  &c. 

100.  (2.)  Two  like  successive  vowels  unite  in  one  long  vowel :  as, 

Phraates,  phrates  ;  *prooles,  proles,  offspring;  non  void,  nolo,  / 
won't;  *nehemo,  nemo,  nobody;  consilii,  consili ,  of  counsel;  periit,  pent, 
he  passed  away  ;  *tlbiicen,  tlbicen,  piper  ;  but  generally  if  two  i’s  are  short,  one 
is  dropped  (102). 

101.  (3.)  Two  'unlike  successive  vowels,  unless  they  form  a 
diphthong  (99),  usually  unite  in  the  long  sound  of  the  first :  as, 

mavolS,  malo,  I  wish  rather;  locaverunt,  locarunt;  locaverim,  loca- 
rim  ;  locavisti,  locasti;  locavisse,  locasse,  they  placed,  &c. ;  coalesco, 
eolesed,  I  grow  together ;  noverunt,  nbrunt ;  noverim,  norim;  novisse, 
nosse,  they  know,  &c. ;  metui,  metu,  for  fear ;  delevisti,  delesti,  hast  de¬ 
stroyed ;  dehibeS,  debed,  /  owe;  siveris,  siris,  thou  mayst  let.  Similarly 
when  the  first  sound  is  a  diphthong :  praehibed,  praebeo,  /  furnish.  Two 
unlike  successive  vowels  rarely  unite  in  the  long  sound  of  the  second :  as,  *locao, 
loc5,  / place. 

102.  (B.)  Elision.  Of  two  successive  vowels  in  a  word  the  first  is  some¬ 
times  dropped.  This  is  called  Elision. 

*ne-ullus,  nullus,  no;  seorsum,  sorsum,  apart ;  *minior,  *minius, 
minor,  minus,  less  ;  *capiis,  capis,  thou  takest.  A  stem  vowel  usually  disappears 
before  a  suffix  beginning  with  a  vowel :  as,  forma-,  shape,  formdsus  for  *formi- 
osus,  shapely  (74);  opta-,  choose,  optio,  choice.  Inverse  the  vowel  is  sometimes 
retained  in  writing  and  dropped  in  pronunciation  only:  ne  utiquam,  pronounced 
‘nutiquam;’  oriundus,  ‘orundus’  (Lucr.).

ASSIMILATION. 

103.  Of  two  vowels  separated  by  a  consonant,  the  first  sometimes 
becomes  the  same  as  the  second. 

Assimilation  occurs  oftenest  when  an  1  comes  between  (o)  u  and  i  :  as,  *famo- 
lia,  famelia  (inscr. ),  commonly  familia,  family ;  *consulium,  cSnsilium, 
counsel ;  *Caeculius,  Caecilius  ;  *Siculia,  Sicilia.  Rarely  in  other  combina¬ 
tions  :  as,  *nehil,  nihil,  naught;  *secors,  socors,  senseless. 

104.  Of  two  vowels  in  immediate  succession,  the  first  is  sometimes  partially  assimi¬ 
lated  to  the  second:  as,  *ia,  ea,  she ;  or  the  second  to  the  first:  as,  luxuria, 
luxuries,  extravagance. 


DISSIMILATION. 

IO5.  The  repetition  of  a  vowel  without  an  intervening  consonant 
is  usually  avoided. 

Thus,  while  adsiduo-  becomes  adsidui-  in  adsiduitas,  constancy ,  pio- 
becomes  pie-  in  pietas,  dutifulness ;  rogitare,  keep  asking ,  but  hietare,  keep 
yawning;  from  divo-,  divinus,  divine ,  but  from  alio-,  alienus,  others' ;  filief, 
cSnsill,  rather  than  filii,  sons ,  consilil,  of  counsel ;  vacuos,  to  Augustus’s  time, 
or  later,  rather  than  vacuus,  empty ;  ruont,  they  rush ,  fluctuom,  of  waves  (Plaut. ). 
Similarly  while  o  becomes  u  in  hortulus,  little  garden  (horto-),  it  is  retained  in 
flliolus,  little  son  (filio-). 


VOWELS  AND  CONSONANTS  COMBINED. 

ASSIMILATION. 

106.  Certain  vowels,  particularly  short  vowels,  are  apt  to 
come  before  certain  consonants. 

107.  (1.)  Affinities  of  o.  o  is  apt  to  come  before  v;  and,  particu¬ 
larly  in  old  Latin,  before  1,  sometimes  before  m. 

[a.)  flovo,  later  fluo,  I  flow ;  *sevos,  sovos,  suus,  his.  Sometimes  also 
after  v:  as,  vert5,  vorto,  /  turn;  old  vocivos,  voto,  later  vacuos,  empty , 
veto ,[  forbid,  (b.)  consol,  tabola,  pocolom,  later  consul,  consid,  tabula, 
board ,  poculum,  cup. 

108.  (2.)  Affinities  of  u.  u  is  apt  to  come  before  1  and  a  vowel, 
or  1  with  another  consonant  not  1  ;  also  before  b,  p,  m,  and,  in  old 
Latin,  f. 

(a.)  consuls,  I  deliberate ;  tabula,  board  (107).  ( b .)  facilitas,  facultas, 

ability;  cultus,  tilled;  pulsus,  driven,  (c. )  alumnus,  foster-child  ;  tegumen, 
covering;  maxumus,  later  maximus,  greatest ;  volumus,  we  wish;  quae- 
sumus,  we  ask.  {d.)  carnufex,  later  carnifex,  executioner ;  sacruficS,  sacri- 
fic5,  /  sacrifice ;  manufestus,  palpable. 

log.  o,  or  u  for  o,  sometimes  comes  before  consonants  with  which  it  has  no 
affinity:  as,  eboris,  of  ivory ,  ebur,  ivory;  fore,  to  be  going  to  be;  particularly 
before  the  plural  person  ending  -nt  of  the  verb  :  as,  COSENTIONT,  they  agree,  proba- 
veront,  they  approved ;  regunt,  they  guide.

Consonant  Change'.  Substitution.  [iio— 116. 


no.  (3.)  Affinities  of  e,  e  is  apt  to  come  before  r  and  a 
vowel,  and  before  11  ;  often  also  before  two  consonants  (except  ng), 
or  before  a  single  consonant,  especially  a  nasal,  ending  a  word. 

(a.)  operis,  of  work ;  regeris ;  jegerem  ;  rexerim,  rexeram,  rexerb  ; 
rexerunt,  &c.  (b. )  pello,  /  drive  ;  veil  0.,  to  wish;  asellus,  donkey, 

(c.)  biceps,  two-headed  (caput) :  agmen,  /mra;  caespes,  sod. 

111.  (4.)  Affinities  of  i.  i  is  apt  to  come  before  n  and  a  vowel, 
before  n  adulterinum,  and  before  d  and  t. 

(a. )  pagina,  page ;  agminis,  of  a  train  ;  homonis,  hominis,  of  a  man  ; 
contingo,  I  touch;  qulnque,  five,  (b.)  vividus,  lively;  regitis,  you  guide; 
fremitus,  a  roar. 

DISSIMILATION. 

1 1 2.  quu,  vu,  and  consonant  i  followed  by  vowel  i  are  avoided. 

Thus  quom,  servos,  cervom,  rather  than  cum,  when,  servos,  servom, 
slave,  to  Augustus’s  time,  or  later  (cf.  105);  sequontur,  secuntur,  rather  than 
‘sequuntur,’  they  follow;  Graiugena,  not  ‘Graiigena;’  Gal,  plebei,  plebeian, 
Pompei,  Pompeis,  Bais,  not  Gail,  plebeil,  Pompeii,  Pompeils,  Bails.’  iaci5, 
/  throw ,  in  compounds  becomes  first  -iecio,  then  -icio.  But  consonant  i,  though 
not  written,  was  long  pronounced  in  -icio. 


INTERCHANGE  OF  VOWELS  AND  CONSONANTS. 

1 13.  The  vowels  i  and  u  sometimes  turn  into  their  cognate  con¬ 
sonants  i  and  v  respectively;  consonants  i  and  v  less  frequently 
become  vowel  i  and  u. 

(a.)  *magior,  maior,  greater  ;  *agio,  aio,  /  say  ;  *ho!os,  huius,  of  this. 
larua,  larva,  goblin;  miluos,  mflvos,  kite ;  *lauo,  lav5,  /  bathe  ;  *locaui, 
locavi,  I  placed,  {b.)  *etiam,  etiam,  even;  *quomiam,  quoniam ,  seeing 
that;  *nunciam,  nunciam,  now.  *avispex,  auspex,  diviner;  volvo,  1 
wrap,  involucrum,  wrapper. 


CONSONANT  CHANGE. 

SUBSTITUTION. 

114.  In  some  instances  one  consonant  takes  the  place  of 
another. 

115-  1  in  some  words  arises  from  d:  odor,  a  smell ,  ole5,  /  smell;  dingua, 
lingua,  tongue.  In  others  from  r  :  stratus,  stlatus,  latus,  broad. 

1 16.  The  lingual  sonant  r  often  arises  from  the  lingual  surd  s, 
especially  between  two  vowels  :  as, 

Papisius,  Papirius;  lases,  lares,  lares;  Agenesis,  generis,  of  a 
race;  quaesS,  quaerb,  /  ask;  *esam,  eram,  /  was ;  *eso,  ero,  /  shall  be; 
*ges5,  gero,  /  bear;  *haeseo,  haereo,  I  stick.  Rarely  before  a  consonant: 
dius-,  diurnus,  of  the  day.  Medial  s,  however,  between  two  vowels  is  always  pre¬ 
served  when  it  begins  the  second  part  of  a  compound  :  as,  desino,  /  leave  off.  Final  r 
sometimes  arises  from  s  :  as,  arbbs,  arbor,  tree;  old  melios,  common  melior,  better. 

13 


1 17-127.] 


Words :  Sound. 


1 17.  h  in  most  words  is  a  weakened  sound  of  an  older  sonant  aspirate  :  as, 
trahd,  I  drag,  veho,  I  carry,  for  *tragho,  *vegho. 

1 18.  Initial  b  sometimes  comes  from  v,  before  which  a  d  has  disappeared  (125) : 
as,  dvonos,  bonus,  good;  dvellum,  bellum,  war;  Dvellona,  Bellona  ;  and 
in  many  compounds  of  duo  :  as,  biennium,  two  years.  Medial  b  sometimes  comes 
from  f  :  as,  rufus,  ruber,  red.  b  final  in  ab,  ob,  sub,  comes  from  p. 

ng.  g  in  many  words  arises  from  an  older  c:  as,  *necotium,  negotium, 
business ;  clued,  /  am  named ,  gloria,  renown;  and  d  from  t :  as,  aput,  apud, 
with. 


DEVELOPMENT. 

120.  p  grows  up  in  a  few  words  between  m  and  s,  and  m  and  t :  as,  edmpsi, 
•  /  decked,  comptus,  decked;  sumps!,  I  took,  sumptus,  taken;  emptus, 
bought;  contempsi,  I  scorned ,  contemptus,  scorned;  hiem-,  hiemps, 

winter. 

121.  As  n  often  vanishes  before  s  ( 1 3 1 ),  so  conversely  an  n  sometimes  grows  up 
in  old  Latin  between  a  long  vowel  and  s  :  as,  thensaurus,  later  thesaurus,  heard  ; 
Onensimus  for  Onesimus.  The  nominative  singular,  coniunx,  spouse,  has  an 
n  after  the  u  (following  the  analogy  of  the  second  n  in  edniungd,  /  join),  which 
is  not  found  in  the  other  cases. 


DISAPPEARANCE. 

122.  A  consonant  sometimes  disappears,  especially 
in  a  combination  of  sounds  which  is  hard  to  utter. 

Disappearance  of  an  initial  consonant  is  sometimes  called  Aphaeresis,  of  a  medial, 
Syncope ,  of  a  final,  Apocope.  In  many  instances  a  whole  syllable  disappears. 

123.  (1.)  Initial  Disappearance.  Initial  s  is  sometimes  dropped  in  forma¬ 
tion,  as  in  the  second  of  these  pairs  of  kindred  words  :  spolium,  plunder,  populor, 
/  strip  ;  sterno,  I  spread ,  torus,  couch.  In  lis,  latus  and  locus  for  stlis,  strife, 
stlatus,  wide,  and  stlocus,//a:<o?,  St  is  lost. 

124.  Initial  g  is  lost  before  n  in  a  few  words:  gnatus,  later  natus,  son  ; 
gnosco,  later  nosed,  / find  out ;  gnavus,  navus ,  active.  Initial  c  of  clamo, 
/  hoxvl,  is  lost  in  the  kindred  lamenta,  weeping  and  wailing.  Initial  qu  or  c  is 
lost  in  some  derivatives  from  the  stem  quo-  (681) ;  *quobi,  *cubi,  ubl,  xvherc ; 
*quoti,  uti,  or  ut,  how,  as;  *quonde,  unde,  whence;  *quoter,  uter,  which  of 
the  two;  but  in  compounds  c  is  preserved:  as,  si-cubi,  if  anyxvhere,  si-cunde, 
if  from  any  place ,  ne-cubi,  lest  anywhere,  ne-cunde,  lest  from  anywhere. 

125.  Initial  d  is  sometimes  lost,  as  in  Diovis,  Iovis,  of  Jupiter ;  see  also  118. 
Initial  t  has  vanished  in  *tlatus,  latus,  borne  (917). 

126.  (2  )  Medial  Disappearance.  In  many  cases  a  medial 
consonant  is  dropped,  together  with  the  following  vowel,  to  avoid  a 
stuttering  sound.  This  occurs  oftenest  in  formation  or  composi¬ 
tion  :  as, 

*calami-ta-tosus,  calamitdsus, /«//#/  disaster;  *c5nsue-ti-tudo,  edn- 
suetudd,  custom ;  #patr5-ni-cinium,  patrocinium,  advocacy.  *sti-pi-pen- 
dium,  stipendium,  pay ;  *vene-ni-ficus,  veneficus ,  poisoner. 

127.  Medial  consonants  of  various  kinds  are  further  dropped  as 
follows  :

/ 


Consonant  Change :  Disappearance.  [128-139. 


128.  Medial  consonant  i  is  dropped  in  the  old  ploys,  common  plus,  for 
*ploius,  more ;  cunctus  for  coiunctus,  all,  entire;  hlgae  for  *biiugae, 
cltariot  and  pair. 

129.  Medial  v  is  often  dropped:  as,  Gnaivos,  Gnaeus  ;  Gavius,  Gaius; 
divos,  dius,^/,  godly ,  deus,.gW  (104);  audiit,  audierunt,  &c.,  he  heard,  &c. 
(893).  Contraction  often  ensues:  as,  dlvitior,  ditior,  richer ;  aevitas,  aetas, 
age ;  particularly  in  tenses  formed  from  perfect  stems  in  -vl-  :  see  890  and  893, 

130.  Medial  r  often  vanishes:  as,  *provorsa,  prosa,  prose;  *torstus, 
tostus,  parched ;  *p6rsco,  posco,  I  demand ;  *mulierbris,  muliebris,  of  a 
woman;  *periero,  peiero,  I  forswear  myself . 

131.  Medial  m  or  n  is  sometimes  lost:  as,  #septemni,  septeni,  seven  every 
time  ;  so  CO-  for  com-:  cohortor,  I  exhort,  cdnecto,  I  tie  together ,  cogndsco, 
/  learn ;  and  i-  for  in-  before  gn  :  lgnosco,  I  pardon,  n  is  especially  apt  to  van¬ 
ish  before  s  :  cosol,  consul ,  cesor,  censor  (inserr.);  *sanguins,  sanguis,  blood. 

132.  Medial  h_sometimes  vanishes:  as,  aheneus,  aeneus,  of  bronze,  *ahes, 
ass,  bronze ;  mihl,  mi, for  me  ;  also  in  compounds  :  nihil,  nil,  naught ;  praehi- 
beo,  praebed,  / furnish;  *praehidium,  praedium,  holding,  estate ;  *prae- 
hida,  praeda,  booty ;  *nehemo,  nemo,  nobody. 

133.  Medial  s  is  very  often  dropped  before  n  of  the  interrogative  -ne  (or  -n)  :  as, 
satisne,  satin,  enough  ?  videsne,  viden,  seestthou  ?  furthermore  in  *ahesneus, 
aheneus,  of  bronze ;  *posino,  *posno,  pond,  / pirf.  Before  other  consonants 
also  :  as,  *iusdex,  iudex,  juror ;  tredecim,  thirteen  ;  spopondi,  /  promised  ; 
steti,  /  stood,  stiti,  I  set  (859).  Often  before  another  s:  missi,  misi,  /  sent ; 
divissid,  divisio,  division.  Sometimes  after  x  :  exspecto,  expecto,  / await. 

134.  Medial  x  sometimes  loses  its  c  :  as,  *sexcentl,  sescenti,  six  hundred ; 
Sextius,  Sestius;  similarly  disco,  /  learn ,  misceo,  /  mix  (834);  sometimes  its 
s  in  ex-  :  as,  eeferd,  I  carry  out.  Sometimes  x  disappears  entirely  :  sexdecim, 
sedecim,  sixteen  ;  *texla,  tela,  web. 

135.  Medial  g,  C,  or  q  is  dropped  before  many  consonants,  especially  in  forma¬ 
tion  :  as,  *magior,  maior,  greater ;  *agio,  aio,  /  say ;  *nigvis,  nivis,  of 
snozv ;  *bregvis,  brevis,  short;  *lucmen,  lumen,  light;  *ugmor,  umor, 
moisture;  *lficna,  luna,  moon;  Quinctus,  Quintus;  *figbula,  fibula,  ouch. 

136  Medial  c  is  regularly  dropped  between  1  and  s,  1  and  t, 
r  and  s,  and  r  and  t :  as, 

mulsi,  I  stroked,  milked;  sparsus,  scattered;  artus,  confined;  sarsi,  I 
patched;  sartus,  patched;  see  868,  909,  911.  C  is  rarely  retained  :  as,  mulctra, 
milkpail. 

137.  Medial  d  and  t,  unless  assimilated  (145),  are  regularly  dropped  before  s: 
as,  *virtuts,  virtus,  manhood;  *sentsi,  sensi,  /  perceived ;  *vertsus,  ver¬ 
sus,  turned.  Sometimes  assimilation  and  loss  occur  in  the  same  word  :  as,  essus, 
esus,  eaten;  divissid,  divisio,  division.  In  the  nominative  of  noun  stems  in  i, 
the  i  of  the  stem  usually  vanishes  with  a  preceding  d  or  t :  a^,  *frondis,  frdns, 
leaf;  *frontis,  frons,  forehead. 

138.  Medial  d  vanishes  occasionally  before  other  consonants  :  as,  *cordculum, 
corculum,  heart  of  hearts ;  *caedmentum,  caementum,  rubble-stone;  *fid- 
nis,  finis,  boundary;  *suadvis,  suavis,  sweet;  *hodce,  hoc,  this  here. 
Medial  t  vanishes  in  *salutber,  saluber,  healthful. 

I39«  (3  )  Final  Disappearance.  A  word  never  ends  in  a 
doubled  consonant. 

Hence,  nominative  far  for  *farr,  spelt;  fel  for  *fell,  gall:  mel  for  *mell, 
honey;  as  for  *ass,  unit,  an  as ;  old  second  person  singular  es,  common  es,  for 
*ess,  thou  art.

140.  Final  m  of  a  noun  is  often  dropped  in  old  private  inscriptions  down  to 
about  100  b.c.,  and  occasionally  down  to  the  imperial  period:  as,  tavrasia  for 
Taurasiam;  viro  for  virom,  man ;  dvonoro  for  bondrum,  of  the  good. 
In  official  inscriptions  m  is  usually  kept :  as,  romanom  ;  but  not  always  :  as,  romano 
for  Romanom,  the  Romans',  -m  (or  -um)  is  lost  in  noenu  or  non  (87)  for 
noenum,  net ,  in  donique  (71)  or  donee  for  donicum,  till,  and  in  nihil  for 
nihilum,  1  taught. 

141.  Final  n  is  lost  in  the  nominative  of  noun  stems  in  -on-,  or  -in-  for  -on-  : 
see  497. 

142.  Final  s  is  lost  in  iste,  ille,  and  ipse,  for  *istos,  &c.,  with  weakening 
of  o  to  e;  in  some  other  words  after  an  i,  with  change  of  i  to  e  :  magis,  mage, 
more;  potis,  pote,  able ;  *nevls,  *sivis,  neve,  and  that  not,  sive,  or  if. 
In  the  nominative  singular  of  most  -ro-  stems  -os  disappears  (454) :  as,  *pueros, 
puer,  boy  ;  also  twice  in  famul,  thrall  (Enn.,  Lucr.).  abs  and  ex  become  ab,  a, 
and  e.  In  general,  final  s  has  a  weak  sound  in  old  Latin,  and  often  drops  off  (47). 

143.  Final  d  is  dropped  in  the  nominative  and  accusative  cor  for  *cord,  heart , 
and  in  the  ablative  singular :  426.  Sometimes  in  hau  for  haud  or  haut,  not. 


ASSIMILATION. 

144.  A  consonant  is  sometimes  assimilated,  either 
entirely  or  partially,  to  another  consonant. 

Assimilation  is  very  common  in  prepositions  prefixed  to  a  verb  ;  see  7001. 

145.  (1.)  Entire  Assimilation,  (a.)  The  first  of  two  conso¬ 
nants  often  becomes  the  same  as  the  second  :  thus, 

d  or  t  before  s,  unless  dropped  (137),  regularly  becomes  s  :  as,  *edse, 
esse,  to  cat  (89;);  *cedsi,  cessi,  I  yielded;  *concutsi,  concussi,  I  shock 
tip.  But  d  of  ad-  in  composition  sometimes  remains  :  as,  adsentior,  /  agree. 
Other  examples  of  entire  assimilation  are:  rursus,  russus,  again;  *liberu- 
lus,  libellus,  little  book;  *premsi,  press!,  /  pressed ;  formdnsus,  fdrmds- 
sus,  commonly  formosus,  shapely;  *cor5nula,  corolla,  chaplet;  *flagma, 
flamma ,  flame;  *sedla,  sella,  seat ;  *lapidlus,  X^xWvls, pebble ;  *mercedna- 
rius,  mercennarius,  hireling;  quidpiam,  quippiam ,  something ;  *supmus, 
summus,  highest. 

146.  (b.)  The  second  of  two  consonants  sometimes  becomes  the 
same  as  the  first :  as, 

*disiicio,  sometimes  dissicid,  I  throzv  asunder  ;  *tolnd,  tollo,  /  ///?  (833)  ; 
*velse,  *velsem,  &c.,  velle  (895),  vellem,  &c.  (850)  to  wish  ;  *torse5,  torreo, 
I  parch  ;  gnarigo,  narro,  I  tell;  tenditur,  tennitur,  is  stretched ;  t  of  the 
superlative  suffix  -timo-  sometimes  becomes  r:  as,  pauperrimus,  poorest  (350) ; 
sometimes  1:  as,  humillimus,  lowest  (350);  usually  s:  as,  altissimus,  highest 

(349)* 

147.  (2.)  Partial  Assimilation,  m  usually  changes  to  n  before  any  con¬ 

sonant  except  m,  b,  or  p  :  thus,  com-  becomes  con- :  conligo,  /  gather ,  con- 
rig5,  /  put  straight ,  later  colligd,  corrigd  (145).  Other  changes  are:  *prim- 
ceps,  princeps,  first;  *homce,  hunc,  //«>;  *tamdem,  tandem,  ^  ; 

*tamtus,  tantus,  so  great. 

148.  n_becomes  m  before  b,  p,  or  m:  as  in  accumbd,  /  lie  by ;  rumpo,  / 
break;  inpdno,  impono,  I  put  in;  inmineo,  immined,  I  threaten.

Syllables:  Length  of  Vowels.  [149- 15 7. 


149.  The  sonants  g  and  b  regularly  change  to  their  surds,  c 
and  p,  before  s  or  t;  gu  and  qu  also  become  c:  as, 

*regs,  *recs,  rex,  king ;  *regsi,  rexi,  I  guided  (47);  *regtus,  rectus, 
guided ;  *scribsi,  scripsi,  /  -wrote ;  *scribtus,  scriptus,  -written;  *tragsi, 
traxi,  /  dragged ;  *tragtus,  tractus,  dragged  ;  strugu-,  struxi,  I  erected  (47)  ; 
structus,  erected;  coqu-,  coxl,  /  cooked ;  coctus,  cooked.  In  some  words  bs  is 
written,  and  ps  pronounced  (45)  :  as,  urbs,  city,  plebs,  commons ,  abs,/m«. 

150.  b  and  p  in  a  few  words  turn  to  m  before  n  :  as,  *Sabnium,  Samnium  ; 
*scapnum,  scamnum >  bench;  *sopnus,  somnus,  sleep. 

I51-  In  some  words  the  surds,  c,  t,  and  p,  before  1,  r,  m,  or  n,  turn  to  their 
sonants  g,  d,  or  b  :  as,  *neclego,  neglego,  /  neglect;  *secmenturn,  segmen- 
tum,  a  cut ;  *quatraginta,  quadraginta,  forty ;  poplicvs,  publicus,  of 
the  state. 

DISSIMILATION. 

I52.  When  a  lingual  mute,  d  or  t,  comes  before  t,  the  first  mute 
in  some  instances  changes  to  s:  as, 

*edt,  est,  eats ,  *edtis,  estis,  you  eat;  *paludter,  paluster,  marshy; 
*equetter,  equester,  of  cavalry. 

I53*  When  a  root  ending  in  d  or  t  comes  before  certain 
suffixes  beginning  with  t,  both  consonants  change  to  s. 

In  this  case  both  assimilation  and  dissimilation  take  place  ;  such  suffixes  are  :  -to-, 
-ta-,  -tu-,  -tor-,  -turo-,  -tura-,  -tili-,  -tion-,  -tim  :  as,  *fodtus,  fossus,  dug ; 
*fodtor,  fossor,  ditcher;  *quattus,  quassus,  shaken ;  *sedtum,  sessum,  to 
sit;  very  often  one  s  drops  (133):  as,  ^dividtio,  dlvissio,  divisiS,  division. 
The  above  suffixes  have  also  an  s  for  t  when  attached  to  some  roots  ending  in  1,  m, 
r,  and  to  a  few  others  :  see  912. 

154.  Dissimilation  sometimes  occurs  when  the  consonants  are  separated  by  a 
vowel  sound:  as,  *caeluleus,  caeruleus,  sky-blue;  *molalis,  molaris,  of  a 
mill  (313). 


SYLLABLES. 

155.  A  word  has  as  many  syllables  as  it  has  separate  vowels 
or  diphthongs.  The  last  syllable  but  one  is  called  the  Penult ; 
the  last  syllable  but  two  is  called  the  Antepenult. 


LENGTH  OF  VOWELS. 

156.  The  length  of  vowels  must  in  general  be  learned  by  observation  ; 
but  some  convenient  helps  for  the  memory  may  be  found  in  2429;  and  the 
length  of  many  vowels  may  be  ascertained  by  the  following  general 
principles. 

(a.)  SHORT  VOWELS. 

157.  A  vowel  before  another  vowel  or  h  is  short:  as, 

eds  ;  eveho  ;  fuit,  fuimus,  adnuit  (57);  compare  primus  and  prior; 
securus  and  seorsum  ;  delabor  and  deambuld  ;  doces,  docemus,  doce- 
tis  and  doceo;  vestis,  vestimus,  vestitis,  and  vestid,  vestiunt  ;  is, 
imus,  ltis,  and  eo,  eunt ;  minutus  and  minuo. 

17 


158-167.] 


Words :  Sound. 


158.  In  simple  words  a  diphthong  occurs  before  a  vowel  only  in  one  or  two 
proper  names,  as  Gnaeus,  Annaeus,  in  which  it  remains  long,  and  in  Greek 
words.  In  compounds,  ae  of  prae  is  shortened  before  a  vowel :  as,  praeacutus  ; 
praeeunt,  praeeunte  ;  pr^ehibeS ;  prehendo,  prehensus.  Sometimes  it 
coalesces  with  a  following  vowel :  as,  prdebptavisti. 

159.  In  some  instances  a  vowel  before  another  vowel  is 
preserved  long:  thus, 

160.  (1.)  Old  genitives  in  -ai  have  a:  as,  aulai.  diei,  geni¬ 
tive  or  dative,  when  three  syllables,  and  sometimes  rei  and  fidei 
have  e ;  so  also  ei,  dative  of  is,  when  two  syllables  ;  less  fre¬ 
quently  ei. 

rei  is  said  to  occur  in  verse  6  times  (Plaut.  G.  2,  Lucr.  G.  2,  D.  2) ;  rei  9  times 
(Plaut.  G.  2,  Ter.  G.  4,  D.  1,  Juv.  G.  1,  Sulp.  Apoll.  G.  1) ;  rei  27  times  (Plaut. 
G.  2,  D.  3,  Enn.  D.  1,  Ter.  G.  9,  D.  8,  Lucil.  G.  1,  D.  1,  Lucr.  G.  2).  fidei  G.  3 
times  (Plaut.,  Enn.,  Lucr.);  fidei  11  times  (Enn.  D.  1,  Man.  G.  2,  D.  1,  Sil.  G.  4, 
D.  1,  Juv.  G.  2) ;  fidei  5  times  (Ter.  G.  1,  D.  3.  Hor.  1).  ei  35  times  (Plaut.  18, 
Ter.  8,  Lucr.  9);  ei  some  17  times  (Plaut.  12,  'Ter.  2,  German.  1,  Ter.  Maur.  2); 
ei  23  times  (Plaut.  n,  Ter.  8,  Lucil.  3,  Cat.  1). 

161.  (2.)  The  penult  is  long  in  the  endings  -ai,  -ais,  61,  -01s, 
and  -ei,  -els,  from  stems  in  -io-  or  -ia-  (437,  458)  :  as,  Gai,  Bol, 
Pompei,  Vel,  plebei ;  Gais,  Bois,  Poinpeis,  Vels,  plebels,  Bais. 

162.  (3.)  Genitives  in  -lus  have  i  :  as,  alterius  ;  but  these  some¬ 
times  shorten  1  in  verse,  except  neutrius,  which  is  not  found  with 
short  i ;  utriusque  has  always  short  i. 

163.  (4.)  A  long  vowel  is  retained  in  the  first  syllable  of  fib  throughout, 
except  usually  before  -er-  (789),  as  fierem,  fieri;  in  Gaius  when  three 
syllables  (usually  Gaius);  and  in  dlus,  godly  (129),  diu,  open  sky  (used 
only  in  the  expression  sub  diu,  i.e.  sub  div5),  and  Diana ;  but  Diana 
has  1  as  often  as  i.  ohe  has  6 ;  eheu  has  6  in  comedy,  otherwise  e. 

164.  (5.)  In  many  Greek  words  a  long  vowel  comes  before  another  vowel:  as, 
aer,  Aeneas,  Medea. 


(B.)  LONG  VOWELS. 

165.  All  vowels  are  long  which  are  : 

166.  (1.)  Weakened  from  a  diphthong,  or  which  are  the 
result  of  contraction  :  as, 

(a.)  caedo,  concidd;  aestimo,  existimo  (86);  old  povblicos,  common 
publicus  (82).  (b.)  *tlbiicen,  tlblcen  ;  *aliius,  alius.  But  sometimes  the 

long  vowel  is  found  only  in  old  Latin  and  is  regularly  short  in  the  classical  period  :  as, 
old  locat,  common  locat  (59). 

167.  (2.)  Before  nf,  11s,  or  consonant  i;  often  before  gn  :  as, 

infans  ;  Maia  ;  aio,  aiunt,  aiebam  ;  eius  ;  Seius  ;  Pompeius  ; 
plebeius  (but  not  in  compounds  of  iugum  :  as,  biiugus) ;  benignus. 

18 


Syllables:  Accent . 


[168-175. 


LENGTH  OF  SYLLABLES. 

168.  A  syllable  is  long  if  its  vowel  is  long,  or  if  its 
vowel  is  followed  by  two  consonants  or  by  x  or  z  :  as, 

ducebas ;  volvunt.  In  ducebas  both  the  vowels  and  the  syllables  are 
long;  in  volvunt  the  vowels  are  short,  but  the  syllables  are  long;  in  cases 
like  the  last  the  syllables  (not  the  vowels)  are  said  to  be  long  by  position,  h 
does  not  count  as  a  consonant,  and  qu  (or  qv,  24)  has  the  value  of  a  single 
consonant  only:  thus,  in  adhuc  and  aqua  the  first  syllable  is  short. 

169.  In  prose  or  old  dramatic  verse  a  syllable  with  a  short  vowel  before 
a  mute  or  f  followed  by  1  or  r  is  not  long:  as,  tenebrae.  In  other  verse, 
however,  such  syllables  are  sometimes  regarded  as  long.  In  compounds 
such  syllables  are  long  in  any  verse  :  as,  obruit. 


ACCENT. 


170.  Words  of  two  syllables  have  the  accent  on  the 


as, 


ho'mo;  a'cer. 

17 1.  Words  of  more  than  two  syllables  have  the 
accent  on  the  penult  when  that  syllable  is  long;  other¬ 
wise  on  the  antepenult :  as, 

palus'ter,  onus'tus  (16S);  muli'ebris,  gen'etrlx  (169);  ar'bores, 
ar'butus,  gladi'olus. 

172.  A  short  penult  retains  the  accent  in  the  genitive  and  voca¬ 
tive  with  a  single  I  from  stems  in  -io-  (456,  459)  :  as,  genitive,  con- 
si'li;  impe'rl  ;  genitive  or  vocative,  Vergil! ;  Vale'ri;  Mercu'ri. 
For  calefacis,  &c.,  see  394. 

173.  In  a  few  words  which  have  lost  a  syllable  the  accent  is  retained  on  the  last 
syllable;  such  are  compounds  of  the  imperatives  die  and  due:  as,  educ' ;  and 
nominatives  of  properjiames  in  -as  and  -Is  for  -atis  and  -Itis  :  as,  Arpinas',  for 
Arpinatis;  _Laenas' ;  Maecenas';  Quins';  Samnis' ;  also  nostras', 
vostras',  quoias'.  For  the  effect  of  enclitics,  see  179. 

174.  The  Latin  grammarians  distinguish  two  kinds  of  accent :  the  acute, 
indicated  by  the  mark  '  :  as,  dux ;  and  the  circumflex,  by  the  mark  A  :  as, 
dos.  Syllables  not  having  these  accents  are  said  to  have  the  grave,  x  . 
The  accent  is  not  written,  being  evident  from  the  length  of  the  syllables. 

I75-  Vowels  with  the  acute  accent  are  thought  to  have  been  uttered 
on  a  higher  key ;  those  with  the  circumflex  to  have  begun  on  a  higher  key, 
and  sunk  to  a  lower  key.  But  in  modern  practice  this  refinement  is  not 
usually  attempted. 


19 


1 76-183.] 


Words :  Formation . 


176.  Monosyllables  have  the  acute  if  the  vowel  is  short :  as,  dux ;  if  long,  the 
circumflex  :  as,  lux.  Disyllables  have  the  circumflex  if  the  vowel  of  the  penult  is 
long  and  the  last  syllable  is  short:  meta;  fastus  ;  otherwise  the  acute:  as, 
(a.)  meta;  fastd ;  pr6fert;  (b.)  bonus;  nepos ;  arma ;  arcus. 

177.  Words  of  more  than  two  syllables  with  the  accent  on  the  penult  have  the 
circumflex  when  the  vowel  of  the  penult  is  long  and  the  last  syllable  is  short :  as, 
amicus;  otherwise  the  acute:  as,  (a.)  amic5  ;  codex;  rexerunt.  (b.)  Mar- 
cellus.  Words  of  more  than  two  syllables  with  the  accent  on  the  antepenult  have 
the  acute  :  as,  Roscius;  Sergius. 

PROCLITICS  AND  ENCLITICS. 

178.  Proclitics  are  unaccented  words  which  are  pronounced 
as  a  part  of  the  following  word;  they  are:  (1.)  The  relative  and 
indefinite  pronouns  and  their  derivatives  ;  (2.)  Prepositions. 

(a.)  Thus,  quo  die,  pronounced  quodie  ;  qul  vixit,  quivixit ;  genus  unde 
Latinum,  genus  undeLatinum.  Similarly  quamdiu,  as  long  as,  aliquam- 
diu,  for  some  time;  also  iamdiu,  this  long  time.  (A)  circum  litora,  pronounced 
circumlitora ;  ab  5ris,  pronounced  aborls ;  in  inscriptions  and  manuscripts 
prepositions  are  often  united  in  writing  with  the  following  word.  When  a  preposition 
stands  after  its  case  it  has  an  accent :  as,  litora  circum;  except  ad,  cum,  per, 
and  tenus,  which  never  have  the  accent. 

I7g.  Enclitics  are  words  which  have  no  accent  of  their  own, 
but  are  pronounced  as  a  part  of  the  word  preceding.  The  word  before 
the  enclitic  has  the  accent  on  the  last  syllable. 

The  commonest  enclitics  are  -que,  -ne,  (-n),  -ve,  -ce,  (-c) :  as,  Latiumque; 
Latioque;  liminaque;  armaque ;  stimulove ;  Hyrcamsve  Arabisve; 
istice  or  istic  (pronoun);  istlce  or  istic  (adverb);  adhuc ;  satisne  or  satin; 
hicine.  Other  enclitics  are  :  -met  (650) :  as,  egomet ;  dum  :  as,  agedum  ;  inde 
in  deinde  and  proinde  (which  are  disyllabic  in  verse),  dxinde,  perinde,  and 
subinde  ;  and  quandb  in  nSquandS  and  siquando. 


B.  FORMATION. 

180.  Formation  is  the  process  by  which  stems  are  formed 
from  roots  or  from  other  stems. 

181.  A  word  containing  a  single  stem  is  called  a  Simple  word  :  as, 
magnus,  great,  stem  magno- ;  animus,  soul,  stem  animo-.  A  word  con¬ 
taining  two  or  more  stems  is  called  a  Compound  word  :  as,  magnanimus, 
great-souled,  stem  magnanimo-. 

182.  Most  inflected  words  consist  of  two  parts :  a  stem,  which  is 
usually  a  modified  loot  (195),  and  an  inflection  ending:  thus,  in  ductbri, 
for  a  leader,  the  root  is  d  u  c-,  lead,  the  stem  is  ductdr-,  leader ,  and  -i  is  the 
inflection  ending,  meaning  for. 

ROOTS. 

183.  A  Root  is  a  monosyllable  which  gives  the  fundamental 
meaning  to  a  word  or  group  of  words. 


20 


Present  Stems  as  Roots . 


[184-192. 


184.  A  root  is  not  a  real  word  ;  it  is  neither  a  noun,  naming  something, 
nor  a  verb,  denoting  action.  Thus  i  u  g-,  yoke,  does  not  mean  a  yoke  nor  / 
yoke  ;  it  merely  suggests  something  about  yoking.  The  root  becomes  a  real 
word  only  when  an  inflection  ending  is  added,  or,  more  commonly,  both  a 
formative  suffix  and  an  inflection  ending  :  as,  iug-u-m,  a  yoke. 

185.  Roots  are  common  to  Latin  and  its  cognate  languages,  such  as 
the  Sanskrit  and  the  Greek.  When  a  root  is  named  in  this  book,  the  specific 
Latin  form  of  the  root  is  meant.  This  often  differs  somewhat  from  the  form 
of  the  root  which  is  assumed  as  applicable  to  all  the  cognate  languages. 

186.  Almost  all  roots  are  noun  and  verb  roots  ;  that  is,  roots  with  a 
meaning  which  may  be  embodied  either  in  a  noun  or  in  a  verb,  or  in  both. 
Besides  these  there  is  a  small  class,  less  than  a  dozen  in  number,  of  pro¬ 
noun  roots.  There  are  many  words  which  cannot  be  traced  back  to  their 
roots. 

187.  A  root  sometimes  has  two  or  more  forms  :  as,  f  i  d-  (for  f  e  i  d-), 
f  o  e  d-,  f  i  d-,  trust ;  ge  n-,  g  n-,  sire  ;  t  o  1,  t  1,  bear  ;  r  e  g-,  r  e  g-, guide. 

Thus,  fid-  is  found  in  fid-us,  trusty,  fld-ucia,  confidence ,  fid-ucio,

188.  A  root  ending  in  a  vowel  is  called  a  Voivcl  Root:  as,  d  a-,  give ;  a  root  end¬ 
ing  in  a  consonant  is  called  a  Consonant  Root:  as,  rup-,  break.  Roots  are  con¬ 
veniently  indicated  by  the  sign  V  :  as,  \Jt  e  g-,  to  be  read  ‘  root  t  e  g-.’ 

189.  A  root  or  a  part  of  a  root  is  sometimes  doubled  in  forming  a  word;  this  is 
called  Reduplication:  as,  mur-mur,  murmur ;  tur-tur,  turtle-dove ;  po-pul-us, 
people ;  ul-ul-are,  yell. 


PRESENT  STEMS  AS  ROOTS. 

190.  Many  nouns  are  formed  from  the  present  stems  of  verbs, 
which  take  the  place  of  roots.  Stems  thus  used  are  mostly  those 
of  verbs  in  -are  and  -ire. 

Thus,  from  ora-,  stem  of  orare,  speak,  are  formed  orator,  speaker,  and 
ora-tio,  speech ;  from  audi-,  stem  of  audire,  hear,  are  formed  audi-tor, 
hearer,  and  audT-ti5,  hearing. 

191.  Verbs  in  -ere,  and  those  in  -are  and  -Ire  in  which  the  a  or  I 
is  confined  to  the  present  system  (868,  874)  usually  have  parallel  nouns 
formed  directly  from  a  root  :  as, 

doc-tor,  teacher,  doc-umentum,  lesson,  doc-ilis,  teachable  (y/doc-, 
docere);  sec-tor,  cutter  (yfsec-,  secare)  ;  dom-itor,  tamer,  dom-inus, 
master,  dom-itus,  tamed  ((dom-,  domare)  ;  sarc-ina,  package  (y^sarc-, 
sarclre). 

ig2.  But  a  noun  is  sometimes  exceptionally  formed  from  the  present  stem  of  a  verb 
in  -ere:  as,  mone-ta,  mint  (monere);  ace-tum,  vinegar  (acere);  vire- 
tum,  a  green  (virere);  suade-la,  persuasion  (suadere) ;  habe-na,  rein 
(habere);  ege-nus,  needy  (egere);  vere-cundus,  shamefast  (vererl); 
vale-tudd,  health  (valere).

193.  Verbs  in  -ere,  and  particularly  such  as  have  a  present  in  -n5, 
-sc5,  -to  or  -io  (832),  usually  have  their  parallel  nouns  formed  directly  from 
a  root :  as, 

vic-tor,  conqueror  (\fvic-,  vincerel  ;  incre-mentum,  growth  (\j  ere-, 
crescere);  pul-sus,  a  push  (\/pol-,  pellerej. 

194.  Sometimes,  however,  nouns  are  formed  from  such  verb  stems,  and  not  from 
roots:  as,  lecti-stern-ium,  a  couch-spreading  (sternere,  Vster-,  s_t  r  a-) ; 
vinc-ibilis,  conquerable  (vincere,  V  v i c" ) ;  pasc-uum,  pasture  (pascere, 
\|pa-);  pect-en,  comb  (pectere,  \j  p  e  c-) ;  fali-ax,  deceitful  (fallere,  \lfal-). 

STEMS. 

195.  A  Stem  is  that  part  of  a  word  which  contains  its  mean¬ 
ing,  and  is  either  a  root  alone  or  more  commonly  a  root  with 
an  addition  called  a  Formative  Suffix. 

Thus,  in  the  word  ducis,  leader's ,  the  stem,  which  is  identical  with  the 
root  due-,  means  leader;  a  root  thus  serving  as  a  stem  is  called  a  Root 
Stem  ;  in  ductoris,  leaders ,  the  stem  is  formed  by  the  formative  suffix  -tor-, 
denoting  the  agent,  attached  to  the  \f  due-. 

196.  New  stems  are  formed  by  adding  a  suffix  to  a  stem.  Thus, 
from  orat5r-,  speaker ,  is  formed  by  the  addition  of  the  suffix  -io-,  a 
new  stem  orator-io-,  N.  oratorius,  speaker's. 

197.  The  noun  has  usually  only  one  form  of  the  stem.  The  verb  has 
different  stems  to  indicate  mood  and  tense  ;  these  stems  are  all  based 
on  two  principal  tense  stems,  the  present  and  the  perfect  active. 

PRIMITIVES  AND  DENOMINATIVES. 

198.  1.  A  stem  or  word  formed  directly  from  a  root  or  a 
verb  stem  is  called  a  Primitive.  II.  A  stem  or  word  formed 
from  a  noun  stem  is  called  a  Denominative. 

(a.)  Primitives:  from  \freg-,  r  e  g-,  guide :  rex,  stem  reg-,  king ;  reg- 
num,  stem  reg-no-,  kingdom ;  rectus,  stem  rec-to-,  guided ;  regere,  stem 
reg-e-,  guide.  From  5ra-,  stem  of  drare,  speak:  orator,  stem  ora-tSr-, 
speaker;  Sratio,  stem  5ra-ti5n-,  speech. 

(b.)  Denominatives:  from  noun  stem  reg-,  king:  regina,  stem  reg-Ina-, 
queen;  regius,  stem  reg-io-,  regalis,  stem  reg-ali-,  royal.  From  oration-, 
speech:  oratiuncula,  stem  oratiun-cula-,  little  speech.  From  reg-no-, 
kingdom :  regnare,  stem  regna-,  to  rule.  From  or-,  mouth :  orare,  stem 

5ra-,  to  speak. 


(A.)  FORMATION  OF  THE  NOUN. 

WITHOUT  A  FORMATIVE  SUFFIX. 

199.  Some  roots  are  used  as  noun  stems  :  as,  due-,  N.  dux,  leader 
(\|duc-,  lead)\  reg-,  N.  rex,  king  (>/ r eg-,  guide);  particularly  at  the 
end  of  a  compound  :  as,  con-iug-,  N.  coniunx,  yoke-fellow ,  spouse  (com-, 
Vj  u  g-,  yoke)  ;  tubi-cin-,  N.  tubicen,  trumpeter  (tuba-,  \J  can-,  play).

Formative  Suffixes  of  the  Noun.  [200-203. 


WITH  A  FORMATIVE  SUFFIX. 

f 

200.  Simple  formative  suffixes  are  vowels :  as,  -a-,  -o-,  -i-,  -u- ; 
also  -io-,  -uo-,  (-vo-)  ;  or  such  little  syllables  as  -mo-,  -min-;  -ro-,  -lo-; 
-on-;  -no-,  -ni-,  -nu-;  -to-,  -ti-,  -tu-;  -ter-,  -tor-;  -unt-  (-nt-);  -es- 
(-er-),  -or- ;  these  syllables  sometimes  have  slight  modifications  of 
form.  Compound  suffixes  consist  of  one  or  more  simple  suffixes 
attached  to  a  simple  suffix  :  as,  -tor-io-,  -ti-mo-,  &c.,  &c. 


201.  The  following  are  examples  of  noun  stems  formed  from  roots 
or  verb  stems  by  simple  suffixes  added :

rege-nt-  regens, guiding rege-, guide 
gen-er-  genus,  race  gen-,  beget 
fur-or-  furor,  madness  fur-,  rave 


202.  Formative  suffixes  are  often  preceded  by  a  vowel,  which  in 
many  instances  is  a  stem  vowel,  real  or  presumed  ;  in  others,  the 
vowel  has  come  to  be  regarded  as  a  part  of  the  suffix  itself. 


Thus,  -lo-  :  filio-lo-,  N.  filio-lu-s,  little  son  (filio-) ;  hortu-lu-s,  little 
garden  (horto-,  75);  but  -ulo- :  reg-ulu-s,  petty  king  (reg-)  ;  ger-ulu-s, 
porter  {^g  e  s-,  bear),  -ci-:  pugna-ci-,  N.  ^pngn^-yi,  full  of  fight  (pugna-re) ; 
but  -aci-  :  fer-ax,  productive  (\jf  e  r-,  bear),  -to-:  lauda-to-,  N.  lauda-tu-s, 
/ra/W (lauda-re ) ;  but-ato-:  dent-atus, toothed  (denti-).  -tu-:  equita-tu-, 
N.  equita-tu-s,  cavalry  (equita-re)  ;  but  -atu-:  sen-atu-s,  senate  (sen-), 
-la- :  suade-la-,  N.  suade-la,  persuasion  (suade-re,  192);  but  -ela- : 
loqu-ela,  talk  (^1  o  qu-,  speak),  -tat-:  civi-tat-,  N.  clvi-ta-s,  citizenship 
(civi-)  ;  but -itat- :  auct5r-ita-s,  authority  (auctSr-).  -cio- :  aedili-cio-, 
N.  aedili-ciu-s,  of  an  aedile  (aedili-);  but  -icio- :  patr-iciu-s,  patrician 
(patr-).  -timo-  :  flni-timo-,  N.  fini-timu-s,  bordering  (fini-) ;  but-itimo-: 
leg-itimu-s,  of  the  law  (leg-). 


203.  There  are  many  formative  suffixes  of  nouns.  The  commonest  oniy 
can  be  named,  and  these  may  be  conveniently  grouped  as  below,  by  their 
meanings.  Compound  suffixes  are  arranged  with  reference  to  the  last  ele¬ 
ment  of  the  suffix  :  thus,  under  the  adjective  suffix  -io-  (304)  will  be  found 
-c-io-,  -ic-io-,  -tor-io-,  and  -ar-io-.  In  many  instances  it  is  difficult  to 
distinguish  between  simple  and  compound  suffixes.

(1.)  -tor-  (N.  -tor). 

205.  -tor-,  N.  -tor,  or  -s5r-,  N.  -sor  (153,  202),  is  the  com¬ 
monest  suffix  of  the  agent;  the  feminine  is  -tri-ci-,  N.  -tri-x. 
-tor-  is  sometimes  used  in  a  present  sense,  of  action  repeated  or 
occurring  at  any  time,  and  sometimes  in  a  past  sense. 

206.  (a.)  -tor-  (-sor-),  in  the  present  sense,  often  denotes  one 
who  makes  a  regular  business  of  the  action  of  the  root  or  verb. 

5ra-t5r-,  N.  dra-tor,  spokesman ,  speaker  (5ra-re)  ;  lec-tor,  reader  (\Jle  g-,

tor,  lie-tor.  Of  the  law  :  ac-tor,  manager ,  accusa-tor,  accuser,  spdn-sor, 
bondsman,  tutor,  guardian.  From  presumed  verb  stems  (202)  :  sen  ator, 
senator  (sen  )  ;  viator,  wayfarer  (via-)  ;  fundi- tor,  slinger  (funda-).  -tro-, 
N.  -ter,  has  the  meaning  of  -tor-:  as,  aus-tro-,  N.  aus-ter  [scorcher),  south- 
wester  [\]  a  u  s-,  burn). 

207.  In  the  present  sense  -tor-  (-sor-)  is  also  used  to  indicate  permanent  character, 
quality,  capability,  tendency,  likelihood:  as,  bella-tor,  a  man  of  war,  warlike; 
delibera-tor,  a  man  of  caution  ;  cessa-tor,  a  loiterer ;  deri-sor,  a  mocker , 
ironical;  consump-tor,  apt  to  destroy,  destructive  ;  aedifica-tor,  building-mad. 

208.  [b.)  -tor-  (-sdr-),  in  a  perfect  sense,  is  used  particularly  in  old 
Latin,  or  to  denote  an  agent  who  has  acquired  a  permanent  name  by  a 
single  conspicuous  action.  In  this  sense  it  usually  has  a  genitive  of  the 
object,  or  a  possessive  pronoun  :  thus, 

castiga-tor  meus,  my  mentor ,  or  the  mail  who  has  upbraided  me;  olivae 
inven-tor,  the  deviser  of  the  olive  (Aristaeus) ;  reper-tor  vitis,  the  author  of 
the  vine  (Bacchus) ;  patriae  libera-tores,  the  emancipators  of  the  nation. 


(2.)  -o-  (N.  -u-s),  -a-  (N.  -a);  -lo-  (N.  -lu-s) ;  -on-  (N.  -o). 

209.  -o-  and  -a-  stems  may  denote  vocation  or  class  ;  many  are  compounds, 
-o-,  N.  -u-s:  coqu-o-,  N.  coqu-o-s  or  coc-u-s,  cook  (\/coqu-,  cook)  ; 
causidic-u-s,  pleader  (causa-,  ^dic-,  speak),  -a-,  N.  -a:  scrib-a-,  N.

213.  Words  denoting  action  (1470)  in  a  substantive  form  have  a  wide 
range  of  meaning ;  they  may  denote,  according  to  the  connection,  action  in¬ 
transitive,  transitive,  or  passive,  complete  or  incomplete ;  if  the  verb  denotes 
condition  or  state,  the  word  of  action  often  comes  very  near  to  denomina¬ 
tives  of  quality;  furthermore  the  idea  of  action  is  often  lost,  and  passes 
over  to  result,  concrete  effect,  means  or  instrument,  or  place. 


(1.)  -a-  (N.  -a) ;  -io-  (N.  -iu-m)  ;  -ia-  (N.  -ia),  -ie-  (N.  -ie-s). 

214.  -a-,  N.  -a,  is  rare  in  words  of  action:  fug-a-,  N.  fug-a,  flight  ((fug-, 
fly) ;  most  words  are  concrete:  mol-a,  mill  (y/mol-,  grind))  tog-a,  covering 
(}teg-,  cover) . 

215.  -ur-a-,  N.  -ur-a,  is  rare:  fig-ura-,  N.  fig-ura,  shape  (( i  i  g-,  shape). 

216.  -tur-a-,  N.  -tur-a,  or  -sur-a-,  N.  -sur-a  (153,  202),  akin  to  the  agent 
in  -tor-  (-s5r-) :  arma-tura-,  N.  arma-tura,  equipment  (arma-re) ;  plc-tura, 
painting ,  i.e.,  act  of  painting  or  picture  (\j  p  i  g-,  paint).  W ords  parallel  with 
official  personal  names  (206)  denote  office:  cen-sura,  taxing ,  censor' s  office 
(cf.  censSr-) ;  prae-tura ,  praetor  ship  (cf.  praetSr-). 

217.  -io-,  N.  -iu-m,  sometimes  denotes  the  effect  or  the  object. 
The  line  cannot  always  be  drawn  very  sharply  between  these  stems 
in  -io-  (many  of  which  may  be  formed  through  a  presumed  noun 
stem),  and  denominatives  in  -io-  (249). 

218.  (a.)  -io-  is  rarely  suffixed  to  simple  roots  or  verb  stems  :  od-io-,  N. 
od-iu-m,  hate ,  hateful  thing ,  hateful  conduct  (  y  o  d-,  hate) ;  some  words  become 
concrete:  lab-iu-m,  lip  (\/lab-,  lick). 

219.  (b.)  Most  primitives  in  -io-  are  compounds:  as,  adag-iu-m,  proverb 
(ad,  Va§h>  speak))  ingen-iu-m,  disposition  (in,  yj  g  e  n-,  beget)  ;  discid-iu-m, 
separation ,  exscid-iu-m,  destruction  (di-,  ex,  y/ s  c  i  d-,  cleave)  ;  incend-iu-m, 
conflagration  (in,  \/cand-,  light);  obsequ-iu-m,  compliatice  (ob-,  ( s  e  qu-, 
follow);  conloqu-iu-m,  parley  (com-,  ^loqu-,  talk);  obsid-iu-m,  siege

247.  These  abstracts  are  feminine,  and  come  chiefly  from  adjectives 
or  participles,  except  those  in  -io-,  which  are  neuters,  and  come  mostly  from

IV.  DIMINUTIVES. 

267.  The  suffixes  -lo-,  -la-,  or  -cu-lo-,  -cu-la-,  are  used 
to  form  substantives  with  a  Diminutive  meaning.  Diminutives 
may  denote : 

268.  (1.)  Actual  smallness:  as,  securicula,  a  little  hatchet ;  ventulus, 
a  bit  of  wind  ;  specula,  a  ray  of  hope. 

269.  (2.)  Imputed  smallness:  implying,  (a.)  admiration,  affection,  or 
compassion  ;  (b.)  contempt  or  irony.  This  diminutive,  which  usually  serves 
to  add  point  to  sentences  themselves  of  a  playful,  patronizing,  or  slurring 
character,  is  very  hard  to  translate ;  little  and  small  are  often  inadequate  ; 
old  or  poor  will  sometimes  do ;  but  usually  recourse  must  be  had  to  free 
translations  adapted  to  the  particular  context :  as, 

Sratiuncula,  a  gem  of  a  speech ,  an  attempt  at  a  speech  ;  matercula,  an 
anxious  mother ,  poor  mamma ,  dear  mamma  ;  lectulus,  one's  own  little  bed ; 
anellus  aureolus,  a  gay  gold  ring ;  Graeculi,  our  Greek  cousins,  the  good 
people  in  Greece  ;  Graeculus ,  a  regular  Greek,  your  gentleman  from  Greece; 
muliercula,  a  pretty  girl,  a  lady  gay,  one  of  the  gentler  sex,  a  mere  woman, 
an  unprotected  female,  a  maiden  all  forlorn;  lacrimula,  a  wee  tear,  a  crocodile 
tear  ;  volpecula,  Master  Reynard ',  dan  Russel ;  tonstricula,  a  common  barber 
girl ;  popellus,  rabble;  nummuli,  filthy  lucre;  mercedula,  an  apology  for 
pay  ;  ratiuncula,  a  first  rate  reason  ;  caupdnula,  a  l 070  tavern. 

270.  Some  diminutives  have  entirely  lost  the  diminutive  meaning  :  as,  puella, 
girl,  not  necessarily  little  girl;  others  have  changed  their  original  meaning:  as, 
avunculus,  uncle ,  originally  grandpapa ;  anguilla,  eel,  originally  little  snake. 
Some  words  are  only  found  in  the  diminutive  form  :  as,  Stella,  star  (*stera-). 
Diminutives  usually  have  the  gender  of  their  primitives ;  exceptions  are  rare :  as, 
rana,  frog,  F.,  ranunculus,  tadpole,  M.

IV.  DIMINUTIVES.

poorish  (pauper-);  levi-culu-s,  somezvhat  vain  (levi-). 

340.  A  peculiar  class  of  diminutives  is  formed  by  adding  -culo-  to  the  compara¬ 
tive  stem  -ius-  (346):  as,  nitidius-culo-,  N.  nitidius-culu-s,  a  trifle  sleeker 
(nitidius-)  ;  longius-culu-s,  a  bit  longer  (longius-). 

341.  Adverbs  sometimes  have  a  diminutive  form  :  as,  belle,  charmingly ;  paul- 
lulum,  a  little  bit ;  meliuscule,  a  bit  better  (340). 

V.  COMPARATIVES  AND  SUPERLATIVES. 

342.  Comparatives  and  superlatives  are  usually  formed  from  the  stem 
of  the  positive:  as,  dlgnior,  worthier,  dignissimus,  worthiest,  from  digno-, 
stem  of  dignus  (102).  A  few  are  formed  directly  from  roots:  thus,  maior, 
greater,  and  maximus,  greatest,  are  formed  from  the  yj  m  a  g-,  and  not 
from  magno-,  stem  of  magnus. 


(i.)  COMPARATIVE  -10r,  SUPERLATIVE  -lSSimUS. 

343.  The  nominative  of  comparative  adjectives  ends 
usually  in  -ior,  and  that  of  superlatives  in  -issimus  : 
thus. 

Comparative.  Superlative. 

Masc.  Fern.  Neut.  Masc.  Fern.  Neut. 

-ior  -ior  -ius  -issimus  -issima  -issimum 


Positive. 
altus,  high, 
tristis,  sad,

tristior,  sadder, 


Superlative. 

altissimus,  highest. 
tristissimus,  saddest.

344-352-] 


Words :  Formation . 


(2.)  superlative  -rimus. 

344.  Adjectives  with  the  nominative  in  -er  have  the  nominative 
of  the  superlative  like  the  nominative  of  the  positive  with  -rimus 
added  (350)  :  as, 

Positive.  Comparative.  Superlative. 

pauper,  poor,  pauperior,  poorer,  pauperrimus,/<w>r.tt'. 

acer,  sharp ,  acrior,  sharper ,  acerrimus,  sharpest. 

maturrimus  occurs  once  (Tac.),  for  maturissimus,  positive  maturus,  ripe. 


(3.)  SUPERLATIVE  -limUS. 

345.  humilis,  difficilis,  and  facilis, 

similis,  dissimilis,  and  gracilis, 

have  the  nominative  of  the  superlative  in  -limus,  following  1  of  the  stem  (350)  :  as, 

Positive.  Comparative.  Superlative. 

humilis,  lowly ,  humilior,  lowlier ,  humillimus,  lowliest. 

THE  COMPARATIVE  SUFFIX. 

346-  The  comparative  suffix  is  -ios-,  which  becomes  in  the  singular, 
nominative  masculine  and  feminine,  -ior  (116;  59),  neuter  nomina¬ 
tive  and  accusative,  -ius  (59)  ;  in  all  other  cases  -ior-  ( 1 1 6) . 

347.  Other  comparative  suffixes  are  -ro-  or  -ero-,  and  -tro-  or  -tero-, 
used  in  a  few  words,  principally  designating  place :  as,  sup-eri,  the  tipper  o?ies, 
inferi,  the  nether  ones ;  ex-teri,  outsiders ,  poster!,  after-generations  ;  alter,  the 
other ;  uter,  whether ?  which  of  the  two  ?  (for  *quo-ter,  quo-);  dexter,  right. 

348.  Some  words  designating  place  have  a  doubled  comparative  suffix,  -er-ior-, 
or  -ter-ior- :  as,  sup-er-ior,  upper ,  inferior,  lower,  ci-ter-ior,  hither , 
deterior  (lower),  worse,  exterior,  outer,  interior,  inner,  posterior,  hinder, 
after,  ulterior,  further ,  dexterior,  more  to  the  right.  -is-tro-  is  used  in 
two  words  which  have  become  substantives :  min-is-ter  (inferior),  servant ,  and 
magister  (superior),  master. 


THE  SUPERLATIVE  SUFFIX. 

349.  The  common  superlative  suffix  is  -issimo-,  nominative  -issi- 
mus,  for  an  older  -issumo-,  nominative  -issumus  (78). 

350.  In  some  words,  -timo-  is  added  to  the  last  consonant  of  the  positive 
stem,  and  the  t  is  assimilated  to  preceding  r  or  1  (344,  343)  :  as,  acer-rimo-,  N. 

acerrimus;  humil-limo-,  N.  humillimus. 

,  351.  The  suffix  -timo-  is  further  used  in  a  few  root  superlatives:  ci-timus, 

dextimus,  extimus,  intimus,  optimus,  postumus,  and  ultimus ;  and 
-simo-  in  maximus,  pessimus,  and  proximus. 

352.  The  suffix  -mo-  or  -imo-  is  used  in  sum-mo-,  N.  summus,  highest 
(sup);  min-imo-,  N.  minimus,  least ;  primus,  first,  Septimus,  seventh , 
decimus,  tenth,  -mo-  or  -imo-  is  attached  to  -ios-  in  plurimus  for  *plo- 
ios-imus  (fullest),  most ;  and  to  -re-  or  -tre-,  a  modified  -ro-  or  -tro-,  in 
supremus,'  extremus,  and  postremus.

PECULIARITIES  OF  COMPARISON. 


353.  Some  positives  have  a  comparative  or  superlative,  or 
both,  from  a  different  form  of  the  stem :  such  are, 


frugi,  thrifty , 
nequam,  naughty , 
iuvenis,  young , 
senex,  old , 
magnus,  great, 
beneficus,  kindly, 
honorificus,  complimentary,

beneficentissimus. 
honorificentissimus. 
magnificentissimus. 


maior, 

beneficentior, 
honSrificentior, 
magnificentior, 

354.  iuvenior,  younger,  is  late  (Sen.,  Plin.,  Tac. ).  benevolens,  kindly, 
benevolentior,  benevolentissimus,  and  maledicens,  abusive,  maledicen- 
tior  (once  each,  Plaut.),  maledicentissimus,  have  usually  as  positive  benevo- 
lus  and  maledicus  respectively. 

355.  Some  positives  have  a  comparative  or  superlative,  or  both, 
from  a  wholly  different  stem:  such  are, 

bonus,  good,  melior,  optimus  (351). 

malus,  bad,  peior,  pessimus  (351). 

multus,  much ,  plus  (sing.  Ne.  only),  plurimus  (352). 

parvus,  little,  minor,  minimus  (352). 

parvus  has  rarely  parvissimus. 

356.  Four  comparatives  in  -erior  or  -terior,  denoting  place  (348),  have 
two  forms  of  the  superlative  ;  the  nominative  masculine  singular  of  the 
positive  is  not  in  common  use  : 

exterior,  extimus  (351),  or  extremus  (352),  outermost. 

inferior,  infimus,  or  imus,  lowest. 

posterior,  postumus  (351),  lastborn ,  or  postremus  (352),  last. 

superior,  summus  (352),  cr  supremus  (352),  highest. 

357.  Six,  denoting  place,  have  the  positive  only  as  an  adverb 
or  preposition  : 

cis,  this  side,  citerior  (348), 

de,  down,  deterior  (348), 

in,  in,  interior  (348), 

prae,  before,  prior, 

prope,  near,  propior, 

uls,  beyoiid,  ulterior  (348), 

Scior,  swifter,  Scissimus,  has  no  positive.

false ,  inclutus,  famed,  invictus,  unconquered ,  invitus,  unwilling,  meritus, 
deserving,  novus,  new;  vetus,  veterrimus,  old,  sacer,  sacerrimus,  sacred, *

359.  Most  primitives  in  -ilis  and  -bilis  (292,  291),  have  a  comparative,  but  no 
superlative  ;  but  these  have  a  superlative  :  facilis  and  difficilis  (345),  easy  and 
hard ,  utilis,  useful;  also  fertilis,  productive ,  amabilis,  lovable ,  mobilis, 
movable ,  nobilis,  well  known. 

360.  Many  adjectives  have  no  suffixes  of  comparison,  and  supply 
the  place  of  these  by  magis,  more ,  and  maxime,  most:  as,  nrirus, 
strange ,  magis  mirus,  maxime  mirus.  Many  adjectives,  from  their 
meaning,  do  not  admit  of  comparison. 


COMPARATIVE  AND  SUPERLATIVE  ADVERBS. 

361.  Adverbs  derived  from  adjectives  have  as  their  comparative 
the  accusative  singular  neuter  of  the  comparative  adjective ;  the  su¬ 
perlative  is  formed  like  that  of  the  adjective,  but  ends  in  -e:  as, 

alte,  on  high ,  altius,  altissime. 

acriter,  sharply ,  acrius,  acerrime. 

facile,  easily ,  facilius,  facillime. 

362.  An  older  superlative  ending,  -ed  for  -e,  occurs  in  an  inscription  of  186  B.c.: 
facilvmed,  i.e.  facillime.  A  few  adverbs  have  superlatives  in  -5  or  -um  :  as, 
meritissimo,  most  deservedly ;  primo,  at  first ,  primum,  first ;  postremo, 
at  last,  postremum,  for  the  last  time. 

363.  If  the  comparison  of  the  adjective  has  peculiarities,  they  are  retained  in 
the  adverb  likewise:  as,  bene,  well,  melius,  optime;  male,  ill ,  peius,  pes- 
sime;  multum,  much ,  plus,  plurimum;  mature,  betimes,  maturius,  matu- 
rissime  (Cic.,  Plin.),  or  maturrime  (Cic.,  Caes.,  Sail.,  Tac.),  dcius,  sunfter, 
no  positive,  dcissime.  minus,  less,  and  magis,  more,  are  for  *minius 
and  *magius.  In  poetry  magis  sometimes  becomes  mage  (71). 

364.  A  few  adverbs  not  derived  from  adjectives  are  compared  :  as,  diu,  long, 
diutius,  diutissime;  saepe,  often,  saepius,  saepissime  ;  nuper,  lately , 
no  comparative,  nuperrime ;  secus,  otherwise,  setius,  the  less;  temper!, 
betimes ,  temperius,  earlier,  no  superlative. 


(B.)  FORMATION  OF  DENOMINATIVE  VERBS. 


365-  Denominative  verb  stems  have  present  infinitives  in 
-are,  -ere,  or  -Ire  (-arl,  -eri,  or  -Irl),  and  are  formed  from 
noun  stems  of  all  endings  :  as,

The  Verb :  Denominatives. 


[366-372. 


366.  T  hese  present  verb  stems  are  formed  by  adding  a  suffix  consist¬ 
ing  of  a  variable  vowel,  -o-  or  -u-,  -e-  or  -i-  (for  an  older  -io-  or  -iu-, 
-ie-  or  -ii-),  to  the  noun  stem.  The  noun  stem  ending  is  often  slightly 
modified,  and  almost  always  contracted  with  the  variable  vowel. 

367-  In  a  half  a  dozen  denominatives  from  stems  in  -u-  the  u  of  the  noun  stem 
remains  without  modification,  and  is  not  contracted  with  the  variable  vowel  (97) : 

these  are,  acuere,  sharpen  (acu-),  metuere,  fear ,  statuere,  set ,  tribuere, 
assign;  arguere,  make  clear ,  batuere,  beat. 

368.  Verbs  in  -are  are  by  far  the  most  numerous  class  of  denomina¬ 
tives  ;  they  are  usually  transitive  ;  but  deponents  often  express  condition,  k 
sometimes  occupation  :  as,  dominari,  lord  it,  play  the  lord  ;  aquarl,  get  oneself 
water.  Most  verbs  in  -ire  also  are  transitive  ;  those  in  -ere  usually  denote 

a  state  :  as,  calere,  be  warm;  but  some  are  causative  :  as,  monere,  remind. 

369.  Many  denominative  verbs  in  -are  contain  a  noun  suffix 
which  is  not  actually  found  in  the  noun  itself ;  such  suffixes  are  : 
-co-,  -cin-,  -lo-,  -er-,  -ro-,  -to-,  &c.  :  as, 

-co-:  albi-care,  be  -white  (*albi-co-);  velli-care,  pluck  (*velli-co-, 
plucker ).  -cin-  :  latro-cinarl,  be  a  robber  (latr5n-) ;  sermo-cinari,  dis¬ 
course  (sermon-),  -lo- :  gratu-lari,  give  one  joy  (*gratu-lo-) ;  vi-olare, 
harm  (*vi-olo-);  heiu-lari,  cry  ‘heia’  (*heiu-lo-).  -er- :  mod-erarl, 
check  (*mod-es-,  236).  -ro- :  tole-rare,  endure  (*tole-ro-);  flag-rare, 
blaze  (*flag-ro-).  -to-:  debili-tare,  lame  (*debili-to-) ;  dubi-tare,  doubt 
(*dubi-to-). 

370.  Many  denominatives  in  -are  are  indirect  compounds  (3 77), 
often  from  compound  noun  stems  which  are  not  actually  found.  So, 
particularly,  when  the  first  part  is  a  preposition,  or  the  second  is  from 
the  root  £  a  c-,  make,  a  g-,  drive ,  do,  or  c  a  p-,  take  :  as, 

opi-tul-arl,  bear  help  (opitulo-;;  suf-foc-are,  suffocate  (*suf-foc-o-, 
fauci-);  aedi-fic-aje  ( housebuild ),  build  (*aedific-  or  *aedifico-,  house¬ 
builder)-,  signi-fic-are,  give  token  (*s!gnifico-) ;  fum-ig-are,  make  smoke 
(Mumigo-,  smoker,  fumo-,  y/ag-);  nav-ig-are,  sail,  and  rem-ig-are,  row 
(navi-,  ship,  and  remo-,  oar)\  mlt-ig-are,  make  mild  (mlti-);  iur-ig-are, 
commonly  iur-g-are,  quarrel  (iur-);  pur-ig-are,  commonly  pur-g-are, 
clean  (puro-)  ;  gnar-ig-are,  narrare,  tell  (gnaro-);  anti-cip-are,  take 
beforehand  {*  anticipo-,  ante,  ylcap-);  oc-cup-are,  seize  (^occupo-) ;  re- 
cup-er-are,  get  back  (*recupero-). 

371.  Many  verbs  in  -tare  (-sare),  or  -tari  (-sari),  express 
frequent,  intense,  or  sometimes  attempted  action.  These  are 
called  Frequetita lives  or  Intensives ;  they  are  formed  from  per¬ 
fect  participle  stems  ;  but  stems  in  -a-to-  become  -i-to-  :  as, 

cant-are,  sing  (canto-);  cess-are,  loiter  (cesso-) ;  amplex-ari, 
bracef  amplexo-);  habit-are,  live  (habito-);  pollicit-arl,  make  overtures 
(pollicito-) ;  dormlt-are,  be  sleepy  (dormito-);  negit-are,  keep  denying 
(negato-). 

372.  Some  frequentatives  in  -tare  are  formed  from  the  present  stem 
of  a  verb  in  -ere  ;  the  formative  vowel  before  -tare  becomes  i :  as, 

agi-tare,  shake  (age-r_e);  flui-tare,  float  (flue-re);  nosci-tare,  recog¬ 
nize  (n5sce-re|;  quaeri-tare,  keep  seeking  (quaere-re);  sclsci-tari,  enquire 
(scisce-re);  vendi-tare,  try  to  sell  (vende-re). 

43 


373-380.] 


Words :  Forma  tion . 


373.  A  few  frequentatives  add  -ta-  to  the  perfect  participle  stem:  as, 

acti-tare,  act  often  (acto-) ;  facti-tare,  do  repeatedly  (facto-) ;  lecti- 
tare,  read  again  and  again  (lecto-) :  uncti-tare,  anoint  often  (uncto-). 
From  a  frequentative  another  frequentative  is  sometimes  derived  :  as,  dict-are, 
dictate ,  dicti-tare,  keep  asserting  (dicto-). 

374.  Some  verbs  are  found  only  as  frequentatives:  as,  gust-are,  taste 
(*gusto-,  ^Igus-,  taste);  put-are,  think  (puto-,  y'pu-,  clean);  aegrbt- 
are,  be  ill  (aegrbto-). 

375.  A  few  verbs  in  -urio,  -urire,  express  desire ;  such  are  called  Desidera- 
tives :  as,  ess-urlre  or  es-urire,  want  to  cat  (edere,  esse).  A  few  in  -ss5, 
-ssere,  express  earnest  action;  such  are  called  Mcditatives :  as,  lace-ss5,  lace- 
ssere,  provoke. 


COMPOSITION. 

376.  In  compounds,  the  fundamental  word  is  usually  the 
second,  which  has  its  meaning  qualified  by  the  first. 

377.  A  Direct  Compound  is  one  formed  directly  from  two  parts :  as, 
c5n-iug-,  N.  edniunx,  yokefellow  (com-,  together,  V  i  u  g-,  yoke )  ;  con- 
iungere,  join  together  (com-,  iungere)  ;  an  Indirect  Compound  is  one 
formed  by  the  addition  of  a  suffix  to  a  direct  compound:  as,  iudic-io-,  N. 
iudicium,  trial  (iudic-)  :  iudica-re,  jtidge  (iudic-). 

378.  A  Real  Compound  is  a  word  whose  stem  is  formed  from  two 
stems,  or  an  inseparable  prefix  and  a  stem,  fused  into  one  stem;  an 
Apparent  Compound  is  formed  by  the  juxtaposition  of  an  inflected  word 
with  another  inflected  word,  a  preposition,  or  an  adverb. 


I.  COMPOSITION  OF  NOUNS. 

(a.)  real  compounds. 

FORM  OF  COMPOUNDS. 

379.  If  the  first  part  is  a  noun,  its  stem  is  taken  :  as,  Aheno-barbus, 
Redbeard ,  Barbarossa  ;  usually  with  weakening  of  a  stem  vowel  :  as,  Graiu- 
gena,  Greek-bomi  (Graio-,  1 1 2 ) ;  aeni-pes,  bronzefoot  (77);  or  sometimes 
with  disappearance  of  a  syllable  (126):  as,  *veneni-ficus,  vene-ficus, 
poisoner  (veneno-) ;  or  of  a  vowel  (95) :  as,  man-ceps,  contractor 
(manu-)  ;  particularly  before  a  vowel  (102):  as,  magn-animus,  great- 
souled  (magno-).  Consonant  stems  are  often  extended  by  i  before  a 
consonant:  as,  mori-gerus,  complaisant  (mor-)  ;  or  less  frequently  lose 
a  consonant  (133):  as,  *ius-dex,  iu-dex,  juror. 

380.  Stems  in  -s-,  including  those  in  -er-,  -or-  and  -or-  (236),  are  sometimes 
compounded  as  above  (379):  as,  nemori-vagus,  woodranger ;  honSri-ficus, 
complimentary ;  but  usually  they  drop  the  suffix  and  take  i  :  as,  opi-fex,  work¬ 
man  (oper-);  foedi-fragus,  truce-breaker  (foeder-);  volni-ncus,  wound¬ 
ing  (volner-);  muni-ficus,  generous  (muner-) ;  terri-ficus,  awe-inspiring 
(terror-) ;  horri-fer,  dreadful ,  horri-sonus,  awful-sounding  (horror-).

[381-387. 


381.  The  second  part,  which  often  has  weakening  of  the  vowel  (69), 
is  sometimes  a  bare  root  used  as  a  stem  (199),  oftener  a  root  with  a  forma¬ 
tive  suffix  ;  or  a  noun  stem,  sometimes  with  its  stem  ending  modified  :  as, 
iu-dic-,  N.  iudex,  juror  (>/  d  i  c-,  declare );  causi-dic-o-,  N.  causidicus, 
pleader  (209);  in-gen-io-,  N.  ingenium,  disposition  (y/gen-,  beget ,  219); 
con-tag-i5n-,  N.  contagiS,  touching  together  (y/tag-,  touch ,  227);  im- 
berb-i-,  N.  imberbis,  beardless  (barba-). 


MEANING  OF  COMPOUNDS. 

382.  Determinatives  are  compounds  in  which  the  second  part 
keeps  its  original  meaning,  though  determined  or  modified  by  the 
first  part  The  meaning  of  a  determinative  may  often  be  best 
expressed  by  two  words. 

383-  (i-)  The  first  part  of  a  determinative  may  be  an  adjective,  an 
adverb,  a  preposition,  or  an  inseparable  prefix ;  the  second  part  is  a 
noun ;  as, 

lati-fundium,  i.e.  lati  fundi,  broad  acres  ;  privi-legium,  i.e.  priva  lex, 
special  act ;  alti-sonans,  i.e.  alte  sonans,  high-sounding ;  con-discipulus, 
i.e.  cum  altero  discipulus,  fellow-pupil ;  per-magnus,  i.e.  valde  magnus, 
very  great ;  in-dignus,  i.e.  n5n  dignus,  unworthy. 

384-  (  2.)  The  first  part  of  a  determinative  may  represent  the  oblique 
case  of  a  noun,  generally  a  substantive  ;  the  second  part  is  a  noun  or  verb 
stem.  These  compounds  are  called  Objectives  :  as, 

Accusative  of  direct  object  (1132),  armi-ger,  i.e.  qui  arma  gerit,  armour- 
bearer  ;  dative  of  indirect  object  (1208),  man-tele,  i.e.  manibus  tela, 
handkerchief  napkin;  genitive  (1227),  sol-stitium,  i.e.  solis  statio,  solstice  ; 
ablative  instrumental  (1300),  tubi-cen,  i.e.  qui  tuba  canit,  trumpeter ;  loca¬ 
tive  (1331),  Troiu-gena,  i.e.  Troiae  natus,  Troy-born  ;  ablative  locative 
(1350),  nocti-vagus,  night-wandering ;  monti-vagus,  mountain-ranging. 

385-  Possessives  are  adjective  compounds  in  which  the  mean¬ 
ing  cf  the  second  part  is  changed.  The  second  part  of  a  posses¬ 
sive  is  always  formed  from  a  substantive,  qualified  by  the  noun, 
adverb,  or  inseparable  prefix  of  the  first  part,  and  the  whole  ex¬ 
presses  an  attribute  which  something  has:  as, 

longi-manus,  longarms,  long-armed  ;  miseri-cors,  tender-hearted ;  bi-lin- 
guis,  two-tojigued ;  magn-animus,  greatheart ,  great-hearted ;  im-berbis, 
beardless. 

(b.)  apparent  compounds. 

386.  Apparent  Compounds  are  formed  : 

387.  (1.)  By  two  nouns  combined,  one  with  an  unchanging  case  ending, 
the  other  with  full  inflections:  as,  aquae-ductus,  aqueduct ;  senatus-con- 
sultum,  decree  of  the  senate  ;  pater-familias ,  father  of  a  family  ;  veri-similis, 
like  the  truth  ;  in  these  words,  aquae,  senatus,  familias,  and  veri  are 
genitives,  and  remain  genitives,  while  the  other  part  of  the  compound  is 
declinable. 


45 


388-396.] 


Words :  Formation, 


388.  (2.)  By  a  substantive  with  an  adjective  habitually  agreeing  with 
it,  both  parts  being  declined  :  as,  res  publica,  the  common-weal ;  res  gestae, 
exploits  ;  ius  iurandum,  oath  ;  pecuniae  repetundae,  money  claim. 

389.  (3.)  By  nouns,  chiefly  substantives,  in  the  same  case  placed  loosely 
side  by  side  and  making  one  idea.  The  two  words  may  be  used  :  (a.)  Copu¬ 
lative!  :  as,  usus-fructus,  use  and  enjoyment;  pactum-conventum,  bargain 
and  covenant ;  duo-decim,  two  and  ten ,  twelve;  or  ( b .)  Appositively  :  one 
word  explaining  the  other  (1045)  :  as,  Iuppiter,  Jove  the  Father,  for  Iovis 
pater  ;  Marspiter,  Mars  the  Father ,  for  Mars  pater. 

390.  (4.)  From  an  original  combination  of  an  oblique  case  with  a  prepo¬ 
sition  :  as,  prdconsul,  proconsul,  from  prd  consult,  for  a  consul ;  egregius, 
select ,  from  e  grege,  out  of  the  herd;  dellrus,  astray ,  mad ,  from  de  lira, 
out  of  the  furrow. 


II.  COMPOSITION  OF  VERBS. 

(a.)  real  compounds. 

391.  Real  Compounds  are  direct  compounds  of  a  verb 
with  a  preposition ;  the  root  vowel  or  diphthong  of  the  verb 
is  often  weakened  (69)  :  as, 

per-agere,  put  through,  accomplish  ;  ab-igere,  drive  away  ;  ex-quirere, 
seek  out.  The  prefix,  which  was  originally  a  separate  adverb  modifying  the 
verb,  is  in  poetry  sometimes  separated  from  the  verb  by  another  word  ; 
the  disyllabic  prepositions  in  particular  often  remain  as  juxtaposed 
adverbs  (396). 

392.  Some  prepositions  are  inseparable,  that  is,  used  only  in  composi¬ 
tion  :  ambi-,  round,  an-,  up,  dis-,  in  two,  apart,  por-,  towards,  red-,  re-, 
hack,  sed-,  se-,  by  oneself,  away.:  as,  amb-ire,  go  round  to  ;  an-helare, 
breathe  up;  dis-pellere,  drive  apart;  por-rigere,  stretch  forth;  red-dere, 
give' back ;  se-iungere,  separate. 


(b.)  APPARENT  COMPOUNDS. 

393.  Apparent  Compounds  are  formed  by  the  juxtaposi¬ 
tion  of : 

394.  (1.)  A  verb  with  a  verb:  faci5  and  fio  are  added  to  present  stems, 
mostly  of  intransitive  verbs  in  -ere;  the  -e-  of  the  first  verb  is  sometimes  long,  and 
sometimes  short  (62) :  as,  caliMacere,  make  warm  (calere) ;  excande-facere, 
make  blaze  (candere);  madl-facere,  make  wet  (madere).  In  these  apparent 
compounds,  the  accent  of  facio  remains  the  same  as  in  the  simple  verb :  as, 
calefdcis. 

395.  (2.)  A  substantive  with  a  verb:  as,  anim-advertere,  pay  heed  to,  ani- 

mum  advertere  ;  venum-dare,  or  vendere,  sell,  venum  dare  ;  ven-ire, 
be  sold,  venum  ire ;  lucri-facere,  make  gain,  lucri  facere ;  re  ferre  or 
re-ferre,  concern. 

396.  (3.)  An  adverb  with  a  verb :  as,  circum-dare,  put  round;  satis-facere, 
satis-dare,  give  satisfaction  ;  intro-ire,  go  inside;  malle,  prefer,  for  magis 

velle ;  nblle,  be  unwilling,  for  non  velle  ;  ne-scire,  hau-scire,  not  know.

Inflection :  The  Noun. 


[397-403. 


C.  INFLECTION. 

\  *  ' 

397.  Inflection  is  the  change  which  nouns,  pronouns,  and 
verbs  undergo,  to  indicate  their  relation  in  a  sentence. 

The  inflection  of  a  noun  or  pronoun  is  often  called  Declension ,  and  that 
of  a  verb,  Conjugation. 


(A.)  INFLECTION  OF  THE  NOUN. 

398.  The  noun  or  pronoun  is  inflected  by  attaching 
case  endings  to  the  stem. 

The  endings,  which  are  called  case  endings  for  brevity,  indicate  number 
as  well  as  case,  and  serve  also  to  distinguish  gender  words  from  neuters  in 
the  nominative  and  accusative  singular  of  some  stems,  and  of  all  plurals. 
These  endings  are  nearly  the  same  for  stems  of  all  kinds. 

THE  STEM. 

399.  The  stem  contains  the  meaning  of  the  noun.  Noun  stems 
are  arranged  in  the  following  order:  (1.)  stems  in  -a-,  in  -o-,  in  a 
consonant,  or  in  -i-;  these  are  substantive,  including  proper  names,  or 
adjective;  (2.)  stems  in  -u-  or  -e-;  these  are  substantive  only,  and 
include  no  proper  names. 

400.  In  some  instances,  a  final  stem  vowel  is  retained  before  a  case  ending  which 

begins  with  a  vowel:  as,  urbi-um,  acri-a,  cornu-a,  portu-I,  portu-um  (97)  1 

in  others  the  stem  vowel  blends  inseparably  with  the  vowel  of  the  case  ending  •-  as, 
mensis  (86),  dominis  (87). 

401.  Some  nouns  have  more  than  one  form  of  the  stem  :  as, 

sedes  (476)  ;  femur,  iecur  (489) ;  vas,  mensis  (492) ;  virus,  volgus 
(493) ;  iter,  nix,  senex,  &c.  (500)  ;  vis  (518)  ;  caedes  (523) ;  fames,  plebes 
(524) ;  domus  (594) ;  angiportus,  &c.  (595).  Many  nouns  have  a  consonant 
stem  in  the  singular,  and  an  -i-  stem  in  the  plural :  see  516;  most  substan¬ 
tives  in  -ie-  or  -tie-  have  a  collateral  form  in  -ia-  or  -tia-  (604).  Some 
adjectives  have  two  different  stems  :  as,  hilarus,  hilara,  hilarum,  and  hilaris, 
hilare  ;  exanimus  and  exanimis. 


GENDER. 

402.  There  are  two  genders,  Masculine  and  Femi - 
iiine.  Masculine  and  feminine  nouns  are  called  Gender 
nouns.  Nouns  without  gender  are  called  Neuter. 

403.  Gender  is,  properly  speaking,  the  distinction  of  sex.  In  Latin,  a 
great  many  things  without  life  are  conceived  of  as  alive,  and  are  masculine 
or  feminine.

Words :  Inflection. 


404.  Some  classes  of  substantives  may  be  brought  under  general  heads  of  sig¬ 
nification,  as  below,  like  the  names  of  rivers  and  winds  (405),  which  are  conceived 
of  as  male  divinities,  or  of  plants  (407),  which  are  conceived  of  as  females.  When 
the  gender  cannot  be  determined  thus,  it  must  be  learned  from  the  special  rules  for 
the  several  stems  and  their  nominatives. 

GENDER  OF  SOME  CLASSES  OF  SUBSTANTIVES. 

MASCULINES. 

405.  Names  of  male  beings,  rivers,  winds,  and 
mountains,  are  masculine  :  as, 

Caesar,  Gaius,  Sulla,  men's  names;  pater,  father ;  erus,  master; 
scriba,  scrivener ;  Tiberis,  the  Tiber ;  Aquild,  a  Norther;  Lucretilis, 

Alt.  Lucretilis. 

406.  The  river  names :  Allia,  Duria,  Sagra,  Lethe,  and  Styx  are  femi¬ 
nine.  Also  the  mountain  names  Alpes,  plural,  the  AlJ>s,  and  some  Greek  names 
of  mountains  in  -a  or  -e  :  as,  Aetna,  Mt.  Etna;  Rhodope,  a  Thracian  range. 
A  few  are  neuter,  as  Soracte. 


FEMININES. 

407.  Names  of  female  beings,  plants,  flowers,  shrubs, 
and  trees,  are  feminine  :  as, 

Gaia,  Glycerium,  women’s  names;  malus,  apple-tree;  quercus,  oak ; 
ilex,  holm-oak;  abies,  fir. 

408.  Masculine  are:  boletus,  mushroom,  carduus,  thistle ,  dumi,  plural, 
brambles ,  intibus,  endive ,  iuncus,  rush,  oleaster,  bastard  olive ,  rubus, 
bramble ,  rumex,  sorrel,  scirpus,  bulrush,  and  rarely  ficus,  Jig.  Also  some 
of  Greek  origin  :  as,  acanthus,  amaracus,  asparagus,  and  crocus.  Neuter 
are:  apium,  parsley,  balsamum,  balsam-tree ,  robur,  heart  of  oak,  and  some 
names  with  stems  in  -er-  (573). 

MOBILE,  COMMON,  AND  EPICENE  NOUNS. 

409.  Mobile  Nouns  have  different  forms  to  distinguish  sex  :  as,  Iulius, 
a  man ,  Julius,  Iulia,  a  woman,  Julia  ;  cervus,  stag,  cerva,  hind;  socer, 
father-in-law ,  socrus,  mother-in-law ;  victor,  conqueror ,  victrix,  conqueress. 
Adjectives  ‘of  three  endings’  (61 1),  belong  to  this  class. 

410.  Some  nouns  have  one  ending,  but  are  applicable  to  either  sex. 
Such  are  said  to  be  of  Common  Gender:  as,  adulescens,  young  man  or 
young  woman ;  dux,  leader;  infans,  baby,  child;  and  many  other  conso¬ 
nant  stems  or  stems  in  -i-,  denoting  persons.  Adjectives  ‘  of  two  endings  ’ 
or  ‘of  one  ending’  (61 1),  belong  to  this  class. 

41 1.  Epicenes  have  one  ending  and  one  grammatical  gender,  though  applicable 
to  animals  of  either  sex.  Thus,  aquila,  eagle,  is  feminine,  though  it  may  denote 
a  he-eagle  as  well  as  a  she-eagte:  anates,  ducks,  feminine,  includes  drakes. 

NEUTERS.

[413-419- 


vivere  ipsum,  mere  living;  istuc  ‘  taceo,’  your  ‘/  won't  mention 
longum  vale,  a  long  goodbye ;  o  Graecum,  Greek  O.  But  the  letters  have 
sometimes  a  feminine  adjective,  agreeing  with  littera  understood. 


VARIABLE  GENDER. 

413.  Some  substantives  have  different  genders  in  the  two  numbers ; 
the  different  gender  is  sometimes  indicated  by  a  difference  of  stem:  as, 
epulum,  neuter,  epulae,  feminine,  feast.  See  balneum,  frenum,  jocus, 
locus,  margarita,  ostrea,  rastrum,  in  the  dictionary. 


NUMBER. 

414.  There  are  two  numbers,  the  Singular  used  of 
one,  the  Plural  of  more  than  one. 

415.  amb5,  both ,  and  duo,  two ,  nominative  and  accusative  masculine  and  neuter, 
are  the  only  remnants  of  an  old  Dual  number,  denoting  two. 

416.  Some  substantives,  from  their  meaning,  have  no  plural. 

Such  are:  proper  names:  as,  Cicero,  Cicero;  Roma,  Rome ;  material  and 
abstract  substantives:  as,  oleum,  oil,  vinum,  wine ,  iustitia,  justice ;  and 
gerunds:  as,  regendi,  of  guiding.  For  the  occasional  use  of  the  plural,  1105-1110. 

417.  Some  substantives,  from  their  meaning,  have  no  singular. 

Such  are:  names  of  persons  of  a  class:  as,  maiSres,  ancestors;  super!,  the 
beings  above ;  manes,  ghosts ;  of  feasts,  sacrifices,  days  :  as,  Saturnalia,  festival 
of  Saturn;  kalendae,  first  of  the  month;  of  things  made  of  parts  or  consisting 
of  a  series  of  acts:  as,  arma,  arms;  artus,  joints;  quadrigae,  four-in-hand; 

exsequiae,/««^ra/?'zV^;  of  some  places  :  as,  Falerii;  Vei;  Pompei;  Athe- 

nae,  Athens;  Alpes,  the  Alps. 

418.  Some  substantives  have  different  meanings  in  the  two  numbers  :  as, 

aedis,  temple,  aedes,  house ;  auxilium,  aid,  auxilia,  auxiliaries ;  career, 
jail,  carceres,  race-barriers ;  Castrum,  Castle,  castra,  camp;  comitium, 
meeting-place,  comitia,  election ;  ebpia ,  abundance,  cSpiae,  troops;  facultas, 
ability,  facultates,  wealth;  finis,  end ,  fines,  boundaries;  gratia,  favour, 
gratiae,  thanks;  impedimentum,  hindrance,  impedimenta,  baggage; 
littera  letter  ( of  the  alphabet ),  litterae,  epistle ;  rbstrum,  beak ,  rSstra, 
speaker's  stand.  See  also  aqua,  bonum,  fortuna,  ludus,  opera,  pars, 
in  the  dictionary.  < 


CASE. 

419.  Nouns  have  five  cases,  the  Nominative ,  Geni¬ 
tive ,  Dative ,  Accusative ,  and  Ablative. 

The  nominative  represents  a  noun  as  subject,  the  accusative  as  object ; 
the  genitive  denotes  the  relation  of  of,  the  dative  of  to  or  for,  and  the 
ablative  of  from,  with ,  in,  or  by.  But  the  meanings  of  the  cases  are  best 
learnt  from  reading.  All  cases  but  the  nominative  and  vocative  are  called 
Oblique  Cases.

420.  Town  names  and  a  few  appellatives  have  also  a  case  denoting  the 
place  where,  called  the  Locative .  Masculine  stems  in  -o-  and  some  Greek 
stems  with  other  endings  have  still  another  form  used  in  addressing  a  person 
or  thing,  called  the  Vocative. 

421.  The  stem  of  a  noun  is  best  seen  in  the  genitive;  in  the 
genitive  plural  it  is  preserved  without  change,  except  that  o  of  -o- 
stems  is  lengthened  (56).  In  dictionaries  the  stem  ending  is  indicated 
by  the  genitive  singular,  thus  :  -ae,  -i,  -is,  -us  (-ei),  indicate  respec¬ 
tively  stems  in  -a-,  -o-,  a  consonant  or  -i-,  -u-,  and  -e-,  as  follows  : 

Genitive  Singular.  Genitive  Plural.  Stems  in. 


-ae,  mensae,  table

-is,  regis,  king 
-is,  clvis,  citizen

-arum,  mensa-rum

-consonant,  reg-,  N.  rex 
-i-,  civi-,  N.  civis 
-u-,  portu-,  N.  portus 
-e,  re-,  N.  res 


422.  Gender  nominatives  usually  add  -s  to  the  stem :  as,  servo-s 
or  servu-s,  slave ,  rex  (149),  civi-s,  portu-s,  re-s.  But  stems  in  -a-  or  in 
a  continuous  consonant  (-1-,  -n-,  -r-,  or  -s-)  take  no  -s :  as,  mensa, 
cdnsul,  consul,  flamen,  special  priest,  agger,  mound,  fids,  flower. 

423.  Neuters  have  the  nominative  and  accusative  alike  ;  in  the  singular 
the  stem  is  used  :  as  nomen,  name ;  or  a  shortened  stem  :  as,  exemplar, 
pattern;  but  stems  in  -o-  take  -m :  as,  aevo-m  or  aevu-m,  age.  In  the 
plural  -a  is  always  used:  as,  regna,  kingdoms,  nomina,  cornua,  horns. 
For  -s  in  adjectives  ‘of  one  ending,’  see  612. 

424.  Gender  accusatives  singular  add  -m  to  the  stem :  as,  mensa-m, 
servo-m  or  servu-m,  navi-m,  ship,  portu-m,  die-m.  The  consonant 
stems  have  the  ending  -em  :  as,  reg-em  ;  most  substantive  stems  in  -i- 
nnd  all  adjectives  also  drop  -i-  and  take  -em  :  as,  nav-em,  trist-em,  sad. 
In  the  plural,  gender  stems  add  -s  to  the  accusative  singular  ( 13 1) :  as, 
mensa-s,  servo-s,  rege-s,  navi-s  or  nave-s,  portu-s,  re-s. 

425.  The  ablative  singular  usually  ends  in  the  long  vowel  of  the  stem  : 
as,  mensa,  domino,  navi,  portu,  re.  The  ablative  of  consonant  stems 
usually  has  -e  for  an  older  -e  :  as,  patr z,  father;  and  that  of  substantive 
-i-  stems  has  -e  more  commonly  than  -i :  as,  nave. 

426.  The  ablative  singular  of  -a-  and  -o-  stems  ended  anciently  in  -ad  and 
-5d  respectively:  as,  praidad,  preivatod;  that  of  consonant  stems  in  -id: 
as,  airid,  coventionid.  But  -d  is  almost  entirely  confined  to  inscriptions  and 
disappeared  early,  first  in  consonant  and  -o-  stems,  and  afterwards  in  -a-  stems  (143), 


427.  The  genitive  plural  adds  -rum  to  -a-,  -o-,  and  -e-  stems  :  as, 
mensa-rum,  domino-rum,  re-rum ;  and  -um  to  consonant  stems,  -i- 
stems,  and  -u-  stems  :  as,  reg-um,  civi-um,  portu-um. 


428.  The  dative  and  ablative  plural  are  always  alike  :  stems  in  -a-  and 
-o-  take  -is,  which  blends  with  the  stem  vowel  (400) :  as,  mensis,  dominis; 
other  stems  have  -bus,  before  which  consonant  stems  are  extended  by  i: 
as,  regi-bus,  navi-bus,  portu-bus  or  porti-bus,  re-bus.

[429-435. 


429.  Some  pronouns  and  a  few  adjectives  have  some  peculiar 
case  endings  ;  see  618-694. 

430.  Many  nouns  are  defective  in  case. 

Thus,  many  monosyllables  have  no  genitive  plural  :  as,  aes,  copper ,  cor,  heart , 
c5s,  -whetstone ,  dos,  dowry ,  os,  face ,  pax,  peace ,  pix,  pitch ,  r5s,  dew ,  sal, 
salt ,  lux,  light ;  many  words  have  no  genitive,  dative,  or  ablative  plural :  as, 
hiemps,  winter;  especially  neuters:  as,  far,  spelt ,  fel,  gall ,  mel,  honey ,  pus, 
matter ,  rus,  country ,  tus,  frankincense.  Many  words  in  -tu-  (-SU-)  have  only 
the  ablative  (235).  For  -e-  stems,  see  600.  Other  words  more  or  less  defective  are 
exlex,  exspSs,  fas  and  nefas,  infitias,  inquies,  instar,  lues,  nemo,  opis 
and  vicis  genitives,  pondo  and  sponte  ablatives,  secus,  vis.  Many  adjectives 
‘of  one  ending  ’  want  the  nominative  and  accusative  neuter  plural  and  genitive  plural. 

431.  Some  adjectives  are  altogether  indeclinable:  as,  frugi,  thrifty ,  an  old 
dative;  nequam,  naughty ,  an  old  accusative;  quot,  how  many ;  tot,  so  many ; 
and  most  numerals  (637).  These  adjectives  are  attached  to  any  case  of  a  substantive 
without  varying  their  own  forms.

SINGULAR  CASES. 

436.  -a-  of  the  stem  was  shortened  in  the  nominative  and  accusative  singular 
at  an  early  period  (59).  A  few  examples  of  the  nominative  in  -a  are  found  in  the 
oldest  writers  (65):  as,  familia,/zz;7zzTy  /  libera,  free,  adjective;  epistula,  letter 
(Plaut.).  A  couple  ot  old  masculine  nominatives  in  -as  are  quoted  (422):  pari- 
cidas,  murderer ,  and  hosticapas,  taker  of  enemies.  In  the  accusative  singular 
-am  occurs  once  :  inimicitiam  (Enn.). 

437.  The  genitive  sometimes  ends  (1.)  in  -ai  in  poetry:  as,  aulai, 
of  the  hall ;  pictai,  embroidered ;  (2.)  in  -as:  as,  molas,  of  a  mill.  This 
genitive  is  rare,  but  was  always  kept  up  in  the  word  familias  with  pater 
or  mater,  sometimes  with  films  or  filia  :  pater  familias,  the  goodman, 
mater  familias,  the  housewife.  But  pater  familiae,  or  in  the  plural 
patres  familiarum,  is  equally  common. 

438-  Town  names  and  a  few  appellatives  have  a  locative  case  in 
-ae  :  as,  Romae,  at  Rome ,  in  Rotne ;  militiae,  in  war ,  in  the  field, , 
in  the  army. 

PLURAL  CASES. 

439.  Compounds  ending  with  -cola,  inhabiting ,  and  -gena,  born,  and 
patronymics,  sometimes  have  the  genitive  plural  in  -5m  in  poetry :  as, 
caelicolQm,  of  occupants  of  heaven ;  Graiugenum,  of  Greek-born _men  ; 
AeneadSm,  of  Aeneas's  sons ;  also  names  of  peoples:  as,  Lapithiim,  of 
the  Lapithae.  With  these  last  -um  occurs  even  in  prose :  as,  Crotoniatfim, 
of  the  Crotona  people. 

440.  In  the  dative  and  ablative  plural,  -eis  sometimes  occurs  (443)  :  as,  tueis 
ingratieis,  against  your  will  (Plaut.).  Nouns  in  -ia  have  rarely  a  single  i  :  as, 
pecunis,  by  moneys  (Cic. );  taenis,  with  fillets  (Verg.);  nonis  Iunis,  on  the 
fifth  of  June  (Cic.). 

441’  In  the  dative  and  ablative  plural,  words  in  -aia,  or  plural  -aiae,  have  -ais, 
and  those  in  -eia  have  -eis  (112)  :  as,  kal.  mais,  on  the  cale?ids  of  May  (inscr.) ; 
Bais,  at  Bajae  (Hor.) ;  plebeis,  plebeian. 

442.  The  dative  and  ablative  plural  sometimes  end  in  -abus,  particularly  in 
deabus,  goddesses ,  and  filiabus,  daughters ,  to  distinguish  them  from  dels,  gods , 
and  flliis,  sons,  ambae,  both ,  and  duae,  two,  regularly  have  ambabus  and 
duabus. 

443.  Other  case  forms  are  found  in  inscriptions,  as  follows  : 

G.  -ai,  one  syllable  (84):  pvlchrai  ;  -ais,  twice  only:  prosepnais,  for 
PrSserpinae ;  -aes,  after  80  b.c.,  chiefly  in  proper  names,  mostly  Greek: 
heraes  ;  rarely  in  appellatives:  dominaes  ;  -es  :  minerves;  -a,  once:  coira, 
i.e.  Curae.  D.  -ai,  in  all  periods  (84) :  filiai  ;  -a:  fortvna  ;  -e  (85) :  fortvne. 
Ac.  -a  (140):  tavrasia;  magna  sapientia.  Ab.  -ad  (426):  praidad.  Loc. 
-ai  :  romai.  Plural :  N.  -ai  (84) :  tabelai  datai  ;  -a,  rare  :  matrona  ;  -e, 
rare  and  provincial  (85):  mvste,  i.e.  mystae.  D.  and  Ab.  -eis,  very  often  (86) : 
scribeis;  D.  -as,  once:  devas  corniscas,  i.e.  divis  Corniscis.  Ab.  -es  once 
(83) :  nvges,  i.e.  nugis. 


GREEK  NOUNS. 

444.  Greek  appellatives  always  take  a  Latin  form  in  the  dative  singular  and  in 
the  plural,  and  usually  throughout:  thus,  poeta,  M .,  poet,  and  aula,  F.,  court , 
are  declined  like  mensa.  Masculines  have  sometimes  a  nominative  -es  and 
accusative  -en  :  as,  anagnSstes,  reader ,  anagnosten  ;  rarely  an  ablative  -e  : 
as,  sophiste,  sophist.  Greek  feminines  in  -e  sometimes  have  Greek  forms  in 
late  writers:  as,  N.  grammatice, philology,  G.  grammatices,  Ac.  grammati- 
cen,  Ab.  grammatice  (Quintil.).

vannus,  fan. 

448.  The  nominative  of  masculines  ends,  including  the  stem

SINGULAR  CASES. 

452.  -us  and  -um  were  originally  -os  and  -om.  But  -us  was  used  in  the 
earliest  times,  -um  somewhat  later,  and  both  became  prevalent  between  218  and  55 
b.c.  (75).  After  u  or  v,  however,  the  -os  and  -om  were  retained  till  toward  50 
a.d.  (105);  also  after  qu  ;  but  -cus  and  -cum  often  displaced  -quos  and  -quom 
(112):  as,  equos,  equom,  or  ecus,  ecum,  horse;  antiquos,  antiquom, 
or  anticus,  anticum,  ajicient.  In  the  vocative  -e  was  always  used,  and  is 
retained  by  Plautus  in  puere,  thou  boy. 

453-  Words  in  -rus  with  a  long  penult,  as,  severus,  stern ,  and  the  following 
substantives  with  a  short  penult  are  declined  like  dominus  (449)  : 

erus,  master  umerus,  shoulder 

iuniperus,////z/yter  uterus,  womb 

numerus,  number 

For  adjective  stems  in  -ro-  with  nominative  -  rus,  see  615. 

454.  Masculine  stems  in  -ro-  preceded  by  a  short  vowel  or  a  mute, 
except  those  above  (453),  drop  -os  in  the  nominative,  and  have  no  vocative: 
as,  stem  puero-,  N.  puer,  boy  (142).  Most  masculines  in  -ro-  have  a 
vowel  before  r  only  in  the  nominative  -er  (89)  :  as,  agro-,  N.  ager.  But 
in  compounds  ending  in  -fer  and  -ger,  carrying,  having ,  and  the  follow¬ 
ing,  the  vowel  before  -r  is  a  part  of  the  stem,  and  is  found  in  all  the 
cases : 

adulter,  Liber,  paramour.  Liber  puer,  vir,  boy,  man 

gener,  socer,  son-in-law ,  father-in-law  liberi,  vesper,  children ,  evening

is  used  for  famulus,  slave ,  by  Ennius  and  Lucretius,  once  each  (142). 

456.  Substantives  ending  in  -ius  or  -ium  (but  never  adjectives), 
have  commonly  a  single  -I  in  the  genitive  singular  (105)  :  as, 

Vergilius,  G.  Vergili  (172);  filius,  son,  G.  fill;  conubium,  marriage, 
G.  cSnubi. 

457.  Vergil  has  once  a  genitive  -ii,  fluvii,  river’s.  Propertius  has  -ii  two  or 
three  times;  with  Ovid,  Seneca,  and  later  writers,  -ii  is  common:  as,  gladii,  of  a 
sword ;  even  in  proper  names,  which  were  the  last  to  take  -ii  :  as,  Tarquinii  ;  but 
family  names  almost  always  retain  a  single  -i.  Locatives  have  -ii  :  as,  Iconii  (Cic.). 

458-  Proper  names  ending  in  -aius,  -eius,  or  -oius  have  -ai, 
-ei,  or  -51  in  the  genitive  and  vocative  singular  and  nominative 
plural,  and  -ais,  -els,  or  -01s  in  the  dative  and  ablative  plural 
(112):  as, 

Gaius,  G.,  V.,  and  N.  PI.  Gai,  D.  and  Ab.  PI.  Gais ;  Pompei,  Pom- 
peis  ;  Boi,  B5is.  In  verse  -ei  of  the  vocative  is  sometimes  made  one 
syllable  (99):  as,  Pompei;  Voltei  (Hor.). 

459.  Latin  proper  names  in  -ius  have  the  vocative  in  -i  only  ;  as, 

Vergilius,  V.  Vergili;  Mercurius,  V.  Mercuri  (172).  So,  also, 
filius,  fill,  son;  genius,  geni,  good  angel;  volturius,  volturi,  vulture ; 
meus,  mi,  my,  from  the  stem  mio-. 

460.  Town  names  and  a  few  appellatives  have  a  locative  case  in 
-i  :  as,  Ephesi,  in  Ephesus  j  humi,  on  the  ground;  belli,  in  war . 


PLURAL  CASES. 

461.  In  the  nominative  plural  masculine,  -ei  sometimes  occurs  (465):  as,  natei 
geminei,  twins  born  (Plaut.)  ;  -eis  or  -is  is  rare  (465) :  as,  Sardeis,  Sardians  ; 
oculis,  eyes;  not  infrequently  hlsce,  these  here  (Plaut.);  masculine  stems  in  -10- 
have  rarely  a  single  -i  :  as,  fill,  sons.  For  -ai,  -ei,  or  -oi,  see  4 58.  The  nomina¬ 
tive  and  accusative  plural  of  neuters  ended  anciently  in  -a  (65):  as,  oppida ,  towns 
(Plaut.).  But  -a  was  shortened  at  an  early  period  (59). 

462.  In  the  common  genitive  plural  -orum,  the  -o-  _of  the  stem  is 
lengthened  (56).  A  genitive  plural  in  -um  (or,  after  v,  in  -6m)  is  common 
from  divos,  divus,  and  deus,  god ;  from  denarius,  denar,  modius,  peck, 
nummus,  money,  sestertius,  sesterce,  and  talentum,  talent ,  with  numerals  ; 
and  from  cardinals  and  distributives  (641):  as,  div6m,  divum,  defim  ; 
mllle  sestertium  ;  ducentum  ;  binum.  The  u  was  originally  long  (29; 
30);  but  it  was  shortened  before  100  a.d. 

,  463-  Other  masculine  substantives  have  occasionally  this  genitive:  as,  liberum, 
of  children  ;  particularly  in  set  phrases  and  in  verse  :  as,  centuria  iahrum,  century 
of  mechanics ;  GraiQm,  of  Greeks.  With  neuter  substantives,  as  oppidum,  for 
oppidorum,  of  towns ,  and  with  adjectives  it  is  rare. 

464.  In  the  dative  and  ablative  plural,  -eis  is  rare  (87)  :  as,  Epidamnieis 
(Plaut,).  Stems  in  -io-  have  rarely  a  single  i  :  as,  fills,  for  sons.  For  -ais, 
-eis,  or  -Sis,  see  458.  ambo,  both,  and  duo,  two ,  have  ambobus  and  duSbus 
(640).

GREEK  NOUNS. 

466.  Greek  stems  in  -o-  are  generally  declined  like  Latin  nouns,  but 
in  the  singular  sometimes  have  -os  in  the  nominative,  -on  in  the  nomi¬ 
native  or  accusative  neuter,  rarely  -u  in  the  genitive,  or  -o  in  the  feminine 
ablative.  Plural,  nominative  sometimes  -oe,  masculine  or  feminine,  and 
genitive,  chiefly  in  book-titles,  -on  :  as, 

Nominative  Ilios  ;  Ilion  or  Ilium.  Genitive  Menandru,  of  Menander. 
Ablative  feminine  adjective  lectica  oct5phor5,  in  a  sedan  with  eight  bearers. 
Plural:  nominative  Adelphoe,  the  Brothers ;  canephoroe,  basket-bearers ,  femi¬ 
nine.  Genitive  Gebrgicon  liber,  book  of  Husbandry.  For  Androgeos, 
AthSs  and  Panthus,  see  the  dictionary. 


CONSONANT  STEMS. 

The  Third  Declension. 

Genitive  singular  -is,  genitive  plural  -um. 

467.  Consonant  stems  are  mostly  substantive,  and 
include  both  gender  words  and  neuters. 

Comparatives  and  a  few  other  words  are  adjective.  For  the 
gender  of  substantives,  see  570. 

468.  The  nominative  of  consonant  stems  ends  in  -e  (or  -x)  ; 
or  in  -n  (-6),  -1,  -r,  or  -s  of  the  stem,  rarely  in  -c  or  -t. 

469.  Most  consonant  stems  have  one  syllable  less  in  the 
nominative  than  in  the  genitive. 

Such  words  are  called  Imparisyllabic  words  or  Imparisyllables  : 
as,  nominative  rex,  king ,  one  syllable  ;  genitive  regis,  of  a  king , 
two  syllables. 

470.  Many  consonant  stems  have  a  double  form  :  one  form  used 
in  the  nominative  singular  (neuters  have  this  form  in  the  accusative 
also),  another  form  in  the  other  cases  :  as, 


The  Noun  :  Consonant  Stems .

iudex,  juror,  stem  of  nominative  iudec-  (no),  of  other  cases  iudic-; 
flamen  (no),  special  priest ,  flamin-  (in);  virgd,  maid,  virgin-  (hi); 
auceps  (no),  fowler,  aucup-  (7 2);  ebur  (75),  ivory,  ebor- ;  genus,  race,

of  the  oblique  cases  is  taken  for  brevity  to  represent  both  forms  of  the  stem.

endings  as  gender  stems.

D.  vasi,  Ab.  vase,  plural  N.  and  Ac.  vasa;  the  G.  vasSrum,  and  D.  and 
Ab.  vasis,  are  formed  from  an  -o-  stem,  vaso-  (401).  mensis,  M.,  month , 
mensis,  has  its  nominative  formed  like  that  of  -i-  stems ;  G.  PL  mensum, 
sometimes  mensuum  or  mensium.  os  (139),  Ne.,  bone,  ossis,  has  no  G. 
PL  in  good  writers  (430)  :  ossium  late. 

493.  The  two  neuters  virus,  gall,  poison,  and  volgus  or  vulgus,  the  crowd , 
have  -o-  stems,  except  in  the  nominative  and  accusative  ( 40 t ),  and  no  plural  :  thus, 
N.  and  Ac.  volgus,  G.  volgi,  D.  and  Ab.  volgd.  A  masculine  accusative  volgum

(500),  F.,  snow,  nivis,  follow  the  consonant  declension;  also  the  geni¬ 
tive  Iovis,  and  the  other  oblique  cases  of  Iuppiter  (500).  But  sus  has 
in  the  plural  dative  and  ablative  suibus,  subus,  or  subus ;  b5s  has 
in  the  plural  genitive  bourn  or  bovum,  rarely  bovom  (112),  and  in

tive  plural  in  good  writers  (430) :  nivium  late,  once  nivum. 


SINGULAR  CASES. 

495.  (!•)  The  nominative  singular  of  gender  stems  in  a  mute 
is  formed  by  adding  -s  to  the  stem  (422)  :  as, 

reg-,  king,  N.  rex  (149)  ;  due-,  leader,  N.  dux  (47)  ;  custbd-,  guard, 
N.  custos  (137);  aetat-,  age,  N.  aetas  (137);  caeiib-,  unmarried,  N. 
caelebs  (45)  ;  municip-,  bitrgher,  N.  municeps.  hiem-,  whiter,  the  only 
stem  in  -m-,  N.  hiemps  (120)  or  hiems,  also  takes  -s. 

496.  (2.)  Stems  in  a  continuous  consonant,  -1-,  -n-,  -r-,  or 
-s-,  and  neuters  have  no  nominative  suffix  (422,  423)  :  as, 

cSnsul-,  consul,  N.  consul;  flamin-,  special  priest ,  N.  flamen;  agger-, 
mound,  N.  agger;  iur-  for  ius-,  right,  N.  ius. 

For  cor,  heart,  see  476;  lacte,  lac,  milk,  47S ;  sanguis,  blood,  486;  -s 
in  neuter  adjectives,  612.

497~5°7-] 


Words :  Inflection. 


497-  («•)  Stems  in  -on-  drop  -n-  in  the  nominative  ;  stems  in  -in- 
for  -on-  drop  -n-,  and  end  in  -6  ( 14 1 )  :  as, 

le5n-,  lion ,  N.  led  ;  imagin-  for  imagon-,  likeness ,  N.  imago. 

498.  (b.)  Stems  of  one  syllable  in  -r-  for  -s-  usually  retain  -s  in  the 
nominative:  as,  flor-  for  flos-,  M .,  flower,  N.  flos  ;  iur-  for  ius-,  Ne., 
right ,  N.  ius.  Some  of  more  than  one  syllable  also  retain  -s  :  see  491  ;  but 
in  others  -s  is  changed  to  -r,  and  in  masculines  a  preceding  6  is  shortened  : 
as,  oclSs,  smelly  odor,  lepds,  grace,  retains  -5s. 

499.  (c.)  Four  stems  in  -er-  for  -es-  have  the  nominative  singular  in  -is  : 
cinis,  ashes,  cineris  ;  cucumis,  cucumber,  cucumeris  or  cucumis  ;  pul- 
vis,  dust ,  pulveris ;  and  v5mis,  oftener  vomer ,  ploughshare,  vomeris. 

500.  The  following  have  the  nominative  singular  formed  from  a  differ¬ 
ent  stem  from  that  of  the  other  cases  (401)  : 

iter ,  journey,  itineris,  stems  iter-,  itiner- ;  Iuppiter  (389),  Iovis  ;  nix, 
snow ,  nivis,  stems  nigu-,  niv-  (494) ;  senex,  old  man ,  man  of  forty  or  more , 
senis,  stems  senec-,  _sen-.  For  sedes,  seat,  see  476;  vates,  bard ,  478. 
canis,  dog ,  N.  also  canes  (Plaut.,  Enn.,  Lucil.),  iuvenis,  young  or  middle-aged 
person  (486),  volucris,  bird  (490),  and  mensis,  month  (492),  have  their  nomina¬ 
tives  formed  like  those  of  -i-  stems. 

501.  An  old  dative  in  -e  is  sometimes  retained  in  set  phrases  (507):  as, 
aere,  money;  jure,  right. 

502.  Substantives  have  rarely  an  ablative  in  -i  or  -ei  like  -i-  stems : 
as,  capiti  (Catull.),  head,  for  capite ;  dotei  (Plaut.),  dowry,  for  dote. 
Substantives  used  as  adjectives  have  sometimes  -i :  as,  artifici  manu,  with 
artist  hand;  but  often  -e  :  as,  alite  lapsu,  with  winged  glide.  For  -e  in  old 
Latin,  see  65. 

503.  Adjectives  in  the  comparative  degree  have  sometimes  an  ablative  in  -i  : 
as,  melidri,  better ,  for  meliore.  Adjectives  ‘cf  one  ending’  with  consonant 
stems  (624)  have  always  -e,  except  vetus,  old,  which  has  sometimes  veteri. 

5°4*  Town  names  and  a  few  appellatives  have  a  locative  case  in 
-I :  as,  Karthagini,  at  Carthage  j  ruri,  a-Jield ,  in  the  country. 


PLURAL  CASES. 

505.  The  nominative  and  accusative  plural  masculine  and  feminine  have  rarely 
-is,  like  stems  in  -i-  :  as,  sacerddtis,  priests ;  meliSris,  better.  For  -a  in 
neuters  in  old  Latin,  see  65. 

506.  The  genitive  plural  of  stems  in  -tat-1  (262)  is  sometimes  -ium,  like  that  of 
-i-  stems:  as,  civitatium,  communities;  voluptatium ,  pleasures  (Cic.) ;  but 
chiefly  in  or  after  the  Augustan  age.  mensis,  month,  has  mensum,  but  often 
mensuum,  sometimes  mensium.  ales,  bird ,  has  sometimes  alituum  in  hex¬ 
ameter  verse.  For  the  dative  and  ablative  -bus  in  old  Latin,  see  67. 

507.  Other  case  forms  are  found  in  inscriptions,  as  follows : 

N.  mvnicipes  ;  -5  for  -os  (47) :  maio,  i.e.  maids  or  maior.  G.  -es,  as  early 
as2iS_B.c.:  salvtes;  -us,  from  186  to  100  b.c.  :  nominvs  ;  -u  (47):  caesarv. 
D.  -ei:_  virtvtei,  soon  after  290  b.c.;  heredei,  45  b.c.;  -e,  disappeared  sooner 
than  -ei  except  in  set  phrases  (501),  but  is  equally  old  :  ivnone  ;  iovre.  Ac.  -e 
(140):  apice.  Ab.  -id  (426):  coventionid,  i.e.  contione ;  -ei :  virtvtei; 
-i:  heredi.  Plural:  N.  -is:  iovdicis.  G.  -om :  povmilionom  ;  -ium:

GREEK  NOUNS. 

508.  Greek  appellatives  of  the  consonant  declension  occasionally  retain  Greek 
case  endings:  as,  lampas,  torch ,  G.  lampados,  Ac.  lampada.  Plural:  N. 
lampades,  Ac.  lampadas.  aer,  air,  has  usually  the  accusative  aera,  and 
aether,  upper  air ,  always  has  aethera.  In  the  plural  nominative  and  accusative, 
cetus,  swimming  monster ,  melos,  strain  of  music,  and  pelagus  (493),  the  deep , 
have  -e  :  as,  cete.  Genitive  -on,  rare:  as,  epigrammaton,  epigrams.  Dative 
and  ablative  -matis  from  words  in  -ma,  -matis:  as,  poematls, poems  (401). 

509.  Greek  proper  names  of  the  consonant  declension  are  usually 
declined  like  Latin  ones  in  old  Latin  and  prose.  From  Vergil  and  Proper¬ 
tius  on,  Greek  case  endings  grow  more  and  more  frequent,  especially  in 
poetry;  they  are  best  learned  for  every  name  from  the  dictionary;  the 
commonest  forms  are : 

Genitive  -os  :  as,  Pan,  Panos  ;  -us,  with  nominative  -5  :  as,  Manto, 
Mantus.  Dative  -i,  rare:  as,  Minoidi.  Accusative  -a,  common  with  names 
of  persons  in  poetry,  not  in  prose,  more  common  with  those  of  places,  and  even 
in  prose:  as,  Acheronta ;  always  Pana;  -0,  with  feminines  in  -o,  -us: 
as,  Dido.  Vocative :  Pallas,  Palla  ;  in  old  Latin  the  nominative  is  com¬ 
monly  used  instead  of  the  vocative.  Plural:  Nominative  -es  :  as,  Arcades. 
Dative  -sin,  rare :  as,  Lemniasin.  Accusative  -as,  very  common:  as,  Lele- 
gas  ;  in  prose,  Macedonas  ;  also  in  words  not  Greek :  as,  Allobrogas  (Caes.). 

51°.  Names  in  -eus,  like  Orpheus,  are  usually  declined  like  -o-  stems  (449). 
They  have  less  frequently  Greek  forms :  as,  _G.  Orpheos,  D.  Orphei  or  Orphi, 
Ac.  Orphea.  Accusative  rarely  -ea:  as,  Ilionea. 

51 1.  Some  names  in  -es  have  the  genitive  in  -is  or  -i  and  the  accusative  in  -em 
or  -en  (401) :  as,  Socrates,  G.  Socratis  or  Socrati,  Ac.  usually  S5cratem, 
also  Socraten.  Achilles  and  Ulixes  have  in  the  genitive  -ei,  -€1,  or  -i. 
Names  in  -cles  have  rarely  the  accusative  -clea:  as,  Periclea. 

512.  Some  names  in  -is  have  forms  either  from  a  stem  in  -id-,  or  from  one  in 
-i-:  as,  Paris,  G.  Paridis,  D.  Paridi,  Ac.  Paridem,  Parim  or  Parin,  V. 

Pari. 


STEMS  IN  -i-  AND  MIXED  STEMS. 

The  Third  Declension. 

Genitive  singular  -is,  genitive  plural  -i-um. 

513.  Stems  in  -i-  include  both  substantives  and 
adjectives,  gender  words  and  neuters. 

For  the  gender  of  substantives,  see  570. 

514.  The  nominative  of  gender  stems  in  -i-  ends  usually  in  -s 
(or  -x),  sometimes  in  -1  or  -r ;  that  of  neuter  substantives  has  no 
suffix,  and  ends  usually  in  -e,  sometimes  in  -1  or  -r. 

515.  Most  stems  in  -i-  have  as  many  syllables  in  the  nomina¬ 
tive  as  in  the  genitive.

Words:  Inflection* 


Such  words  are  called  Parisyllabic  words,  or  Parisyllables :  as, 
nominative  civis,  citizen,  two  syllables  ;  genitive  civis,  of  a  citizen, 
also  two  syllables. 

516.  Stems  in  -i-  are  declined  in  the  main  like  consonant  stems,  but 
have  -im  in  the  accusative  of  some  substantives,  and  -i  in  the  ablative  of 
adjectives,  of  some  gender  substantives,  and  of  neuters ;  in  the  plural  they 
have  -ium  in  the  genitive,  -is  often  in  the  accusative  of  gender  words,  and 
-ia  in  the  nominative  and  accusative  neuter. 


I.  PARISYLLABLES.

SINGULAR  CASES. 

540.  (1.)  The  nominative  singular  of  gender  stems  in  -i-  is 
usually  formed  by  adding  -s  to  the  stem  (422).  But  many 
gender  substantives  have  the  nominative  in  -es  (236,401)  :  as, 

amni-,  river,  N.  amnis ;  aedi-,  temple ,  N.  aedis  ;  brevi-,  short,  N. 
brevis.  With  N.  -es :  nubi-,  cloud,  N.  nubes ;  for  other  examples,  see 

523- 

541.  Some  substantives  form  the  nominative  in  both  these  ways  :  as,  valles 
and  vallis,  valley ,  equally  common  ;  aedis,  temple,  later  aedes  ;  for  caedes, 
slaughter ,  clades,  disaster ,  and  mdles,  file,  caedis,  &c.,  occur  exceptionally. 

542.  A  few  stems  in  -bri-,  -cri-,  or  — tri— ,  drop  -i-  in  the  nominative,  without 
taking  -s,  -r  of  the  ending  becoming  -er  (89)  :  as,  imbri-,  shower ,  N.  imber 
(525)' 

543-  Of  gender  imparisyllables,  some  have  lost  -i-  of  the 
stem  before  -s  in  the  nominative;  others  have  originally  a 
consonant  stem  in  the  nominative  (529-535). 

Thus,  mbnti-,  mountain,  and  sorti-,  lot,  have  N.  mons  and  sors  for 
an  older  montis  and  sortis  ;  but  dens,  tooth,  and  regens,  ruling,  have 
as  original  stems  dent-  and  regent-.  Adjectives  in  -cipiti-  have  N. 
-ceps  (533). 

544-  A.  few  adjective  stems  in  -li-  or  -ri-  drop  -i-  in  the  nominative  without 
taking  -5(536,  537)  :as,  vigili-,  wide-azvake,  N.  vigil;  pari-,  equal ,  N.  par; 
so  also  Arar  and  Liger.  three  substantives  in  -ri-  for  -si-  likewise  drop  -i-, 
and  end  in  the  original  -s  (538):  gliri-  for  glisi-,  dormouse,  N.  glls ;  mas, 
male;  mus,  mouse. 

545.  card,  F ., flesh,  carnis  (Ab.  -i,  usually  -e,  no  G.  PI.)  and  supellex,  F., 
furniture,  supellectilis  (Ab.  -i  or  -e,  no  PL),  have  the  nominative  formed  from 
a  different  stem  from  that  of  the  other  cases  (401). 

546.  (2.)  Neuter  stems  in  -i-  have  no  nominative  suffix,  and 
end  in  -e  for  -i-  of  the  stem  (71)  :  as, 

mari-,  sea,  N.  mare  ;  brevi-,  short,  N.  breve.  In  some  words,  origi¬ 
nally  neuter  adjectives  in  -ale  and  -are,  the  -e  is  dropped  and  the  a  short¬ 
ened :  as,  animate,  living  thing,  animal  (536) ;  exemplare  (Lucr.), pattern, 
exemplar  (537).  Some  neuter  adjectives  end  in  -1  or  -r  (536,  537);  and 
some  ‘of  one  ending’  end  in  -s  (612).

Words :  Inflection. 


547-  The  accusative  singular  of  gender  substantives  usually  has 
-em,  like  consonant  stems  (424) ;  but  a  few  substantives  with  the 
nominative  in  -is  have  -im  only,  and  some  have  either  -im  or  -em. 

548.  (a.)  Accusatives  in  -im 

Are  sitim,  tussim,  vim,  thirst ,  cough ,  strength 

And  burim,  cucumim.  ploughtail ,  cucumber 

549.  The  accusative  in  -im  is  found  in  many  adverbs  (700) :  as,  partim,  in 
part;  in  some  adverbial  expressions:  as,  adamussim,  examussim,  to  a  T, 
adfatim,  to  satiety ,  ad  ravim,  to  hoarseness ;  in  some  names  of  rivers  and  cities  : 
as,  Tiberim,  Hispalim  ;  and  in  some  Greek  words  (565). 

550.  ( b .)  Six  have  the  accusative  commonly  in  -im,  sometimes  in  -em : 

febrim,  -em ,  fever  puppim,  -em,  stern  securim,  -em,  axe 

pelvim,  -em,  basin  restim,  -em,  rope  turrim,  -em,  tower

clavem,  -im,  key  sementem,  -im ,  planting 

messem,  -im,  crop  strigilem,  -im,  skin-scraper 


552*  In  the  ablative,  gender  substantives  have  usually  -e, 
and  neuters  and  adjectives  have  -i  :  as, 

hoste,  enemy  ;  marl,  sea;  acri,  sharp ,  brevi,  short ,  audaci,  daring. 

.  553-  (1.)  Of  gender  substantives  with  the  nominative  in  -is,  a  few 

have  only  -i  in  the  ablative,  and  many  have  either  -i  or  -e. 

554.  (a.)  These  ablatives  have  only  -i : 

securi,  siti,  tussi,  vi,  axe,  thirst,  cough ,  strength

Some  names  of  rivers  and  cities  have  only  -i :  as,  Tiberi,  Hispali.  The

adfini,  -e,  connection  by  marriage;  aedile,  -i,  aedile ;  familiar!,  -e,  friend.

ex-consul,  gentili,  tribesman.  Adjectives  of  place  in  -ensis  (330)  usually  have 
-!,  but  sometimes  -e :  as,  Tarquiniense.  Proper  names  have  usually  -e:  as, 

Juvenale. 

55g.  Adjectives  ‘of  one  ending’  with  sterns  in  -i-  (632),  have  commonly

Romulo  regnante,  in  the  reign  of  Romulus,  ablative  absolute  (1362). 

561.  Other  adjectives  ‘of  one  ending’  occasionally  have  -e  in  the 
ablative  when  used  as  substantives  or  as  epithets  of  persons,  or  in  verse 
when  a  short  syllable  is  needed :  as, 

consort!,  sharing,  pari,  equal,  vigil!,  unde-awake,  felici,  happy,  as  adjec¬ 
tives  ;  but  consorte,  &c.,  as  substantives;  in  prose,  impari,  dispari,  unequal; 
inverse,  impare,  dispare.  Proper  names  have  -e  :  as,  Felice. 


PLURAL  CASES. 

562.  In  the  plural,  gender  nominatives  have  -is,  rarely  -is  or  -eis, 
and  gender  accusatives  have  -is  or  -es  indifferently,  sometimes  -eis ; 
after  about  50  a.d.,  -es  was  the  prevalent  ending  for  both  cases. 
Neuters  add  -a  to  the  stem,  making  -ia  ;  for  -ia  in  old  Latin,  see  65. 

563.  In  the  genitive  plural,  present  participles,  some  substantive  stems 
in  -nt(i)-,  and  some  adjectives  ‘of  two  endings’  (631)  have  occasionally 

-um  :  as, 

amantum,  tew;  rudentum,  rigging;  agrestum,  country  folk;  caeles- 

tum,  heaven's  tenantry,  apis,  bee,  has  commonly  -um ;  caedes,  slaughter , 
and  fraus,  deceit ,  have  rarely  -um.  For  -um  in  some  adjectives  4  of  one  ending,’ 
see  636  ;  for  -bus  in  the  dative  and  ablative  in  old  Latin,  see  67. 

564.  Other  case  forms  are  found  in  inscriptions,  as  follows : 

N.  without  -is:  vectigal,  i.e.  vectigalis,  adjective;  -e  for  -is  (47,  71): 
militare,  i.e.  militaris,  adjective ;  -es  (540):  aidiles,  i.e..  aedilis;  cives,  i.e.

-e  :  servile,  i.e.  servili.  Plural:  N.  -es  :  fines;  -eis:  fineis;  -is:  finis. 


GREEK  NOUNS. 

565-.  Greek  stems  in  -i-  are  usually  declined  like  Latin  ones,  with  the  accusa¬ 
tive  in  -im,  and  ablative  in  -i.  But  the  accusative  sometimes  has  -n  :  as,  poesin, 
poetry,  Charybdin;  similarly  Capyn;  and  a  vocative  occurs:  as,  Charybdi. 
The  plural  genitive  Metamorphoseon,  and  as  ablative  Metamorphosesin, 
occur  as  titles  of  books.

CHARACTERISTICS  OF  STEMS  IN  -i-. 

566.  Parisyllables  with  nominatives  in  -is,  -es,  or  -e,  and 
a  few  in  -er  ;  and  imparisyllables  with  nominatives  in  -al,  and 
in  -ar  for  -are,  have  stems  in  -i-. 

But  canis,  iuvenis  (486),  volucris  (490),  mensis  (492),  sedes  (476),  and 
vates  (478),  have  consonant  stems. 

567-  Under  -i-  stems  may  also  conveniently  be  grouped  the  fol¬ 
lowing  classes,  which  have  usually  a  consonant  form  in  the  singular, 
and  an  -i-  form  in  the  plural : 

568.  (a.)  Imparisyllabic  adjectives  with  the  genitive  in  -is,  except  com¬ 
paratives  and  the  dozen  with  consonant  stems  (624),  and  imparisyllables 
with  a  nominative  in  -s  or  -x  preceded  by  any  consonant  except  p.  But 
coniunx  (472)  and  caelebs  (480)  have  consonant  stems.

deceit ,  gKs,  dormouse,  lis,  strife ,  lux,  light ,  mas,  male ,  mus,  mouse ,  nox,  night ,

Ab.,  no  N.,  and  fornax,  furnace. 


GENDER  OF  CONSONANT  STEMS  AND  -i-  STEMS. 

570.  The  gender  of  many  of  these  substantives  is  determined  by  their 
meaning  (404-412)  ;  that  of  participles  used  as  substantives  follows  the 
gender  of  the  substantive  understood  ;  Greek  substantives  follow  the  Greek 
gender.  The  gender  of  other  words  may  be  conveniently  arranged  for  the 
memory  according  to  the  nominative  endings  as  follows. 

MASCULINE. 

571.  Imparisyllables  in  -es  or  -es  and  substantives 
in  -er,  -6,  -or,  and  -os  are  masculine  :  as,

ness  ;  fios,flo7ver. 

572.  These  imparisyllables  in  -es  or -es  are  femininy  :  merges,  sheaf ,  seges,

of  plants  in  -er:  as,  acer,  maple,  cicer,  chickpea,  papaver,  poppy,  pip^r ,  pepper, 
siler,  osier,  siser,  skirret,  suber,  corktree,  linter,  tub,  boat,  is  feminine,  once 
masculine,  ver,  spring,  is  neuter. 

574.  Substantives  in  -5,  with  genitive  -inis  (485).  are  feminine;  as,  imago, 
imaginis,  likeness ;  also  caro,  carnis,  flesh,  and  words  of  action  in  -10  and  -tio 
(227,  228).  But  cardo,  hinge,  ordo,  rank,  and  turbo,  whirlwind,  are  masculine, 
margo,  brink,  and  cupidS,  desire,  are  sometimes  masculine. 

575.  These  substantives  in  -or  are  neuter  :  ador,  spelt,  aequor,  sea ,  marmot, 
marble,  cor,  heart,  arbor,  tree,  is  feminine.

(Enn.)  or  dii  (Verg.).  spes  has  only  the  genitive  and  dative  spei  in  verse.  A 
genitive  or  dative  in  -e  is  sometimes  found :  as,  re,  die,  fide.

604.  (2.)  Stems  of  the  second  class  are  formed  by  the  suffix  -ie- 
or  -tie-,  and  have  three  or  more  syllables. 

This  class,  which  is  a  modification  of  stems  in  -a-,  has  usually  no  geni¬ 
tive,  dative,  or  plural.  Many  stems,  especially  those  in  -tie-,  have  also  a 
collateral  form  in  -a-,  and  the  genitive  and  dative,  when  used  at  all,  are 
commonly  from  a  stem  in  -a-.

luxuries,  extravagance,  stem  luxurie-,  F. 

Nom.  luxuries,  Ace.  luxuriem,  Abl.  luxurie.

[608-6 1 5 


THE  ADJECTIVE. 

608.  Adjectives  are  declined  like  substantives,  and  it  has  been  shown 
already  how  their  cases  are  formed.  But  they  differ  from  substantives  in 
having  different  forms  in  some  of  their  cases  to  denote  different  genders  ; 
it  is  convenient  therefore  to  put  their  complete  declension  together. 

609.  Adjective  stems  end  in  -o-  and  -a-,  in  a  con¬ 
sonant,  or  in  -i-. 

610.  An  accusative  plural  of  a  stem  in  -u-,  anguimanus,  with  a  serpent  for 
a  hand ,  is  once  used  (Lucr.).  There  are  no  adjective  stems  in  -e-. 

61 1 .  Adjectives  are  often  conveniently  said  to  be  ‘  of  three  e?id- 
ings  ‘  of  two  endings or  ‘  of  one  ending .’ 

By  the  ‘  ending  ’  is  meant  the  ending  of  the  nominative  singular :  thus,  bonus, 
bona,  bonum,^,  and  acer,  acris,  acre,  sharp ,  are  ‘of  three  endings’  (409); 
brevis,  breve,  short ,  is  ‘of  two  endings’  (410);  and  audax,  bold ,  is  ‘of  one  end¬ 
ing’  (410). 

612.  Adjectives  ‘of  one  ending’  which  form  a  gender  nominative  in  -s,  retain 
the  -s  irrationally  in  the  nominative  and  accusative  neuter  singular  :  as,  N.  M.  and  F. 
audax,  N.  and  Ac.  Ne.  also  audax. 


STEMS  IN  -o-  AND  -a-. 

613.  Most  adjectives  with  stems  in  -o-  and  -a-  are  de¬ 
clined  as  follows :

mostly  used,  except  in  the  combination  alius  modi,  of  another  sort ;  the  N.  M. 
is  rarely  alis,  Ne.  alid,  D.  rarely  all.  alter  is  declined  like  liber  (616),  except 
in  the  genitive  singular  alterius  (alterius)  and  dative  alteri.  For  uter  and  its

plural  of  dives;  the  singular  Ab.  caelite  occurs  a  couple  of  times.  vetus ,  old, 
G.  veteris,  is  also  declined  like  dives,  but  has  a  Ne.  PI.  N.  and  Ac.  vetera;  the

equester,  cavalry- 
paluster,  of  a  swamp

puter,  rotten 
Silvester,  woody 
terrester,  land- 


So  also  celer,  swift.  The  names  of  months,  September,  OctSber, 
November,  December,  are  also  adjectives  with  stems  in  -bri-,  but  are  not  used 
in  the  neuter.  Other  adjectives  with  stems  in  -bri-,  -cri-,  or  -tri-,  have  no 
distinctive  form  for  the  masculine  nominative  singular  :  as,  muliebris,  mediocris, 
inlustris.

629.  In  all  cases  but  the  masculine  nominative  singular  these  adjectives  are  just 
like  those  in  -i-  ‘of  two  endings  ’  (630).  But  the  ablative  always  has  -i,  never  -e, 
and  the  genitive  plural  always  has  -ium,  never  -um.  In  celer  the  second  e 
belongs  to  the  stem  :  M.  celer,  F.  celeris,  Ne.  celere  ;  the  genitive  plural,  which 
is  celerum,  is  found  only  as  a  substantive.  Most  of  these  adjectives  have  now 
and  then  a  masculine  in  -is,  like  adjectives  ‘  of  two  endings  ’  (630),  and  in  old 
Latin  the  nominative  -er  is  rarely  feminine.

645.  The  nominatives  ego  and  tu,  and  the  accusatives  me,  te  and  se, 
have  no  case  ending.  The  last  vowel  of  ego  is  rarely  long  in  Plautus,  long 
or  short  in  Lucilius.  The  nominative  ego  has  a  different  stem  from  that  of 
its  other  cases,  and  the  plurals  of  ego  and  tu  have  a  different  stem  from 
that  of  the  singular. 

646.  mel,  tui,  and  sui,  which  are  often  monosyllables  in  old  verse,  were 
originally  the  genitive  of  the  neuter  possessives,  used  substantively.  An  old  genitive 
mis  is  quoted,  and  tis  occurs  rar-iy  in  Plautus. 

647.  The  datives  tibi  and  sib!,  also  the  plurals  nobis  and  vobis,  have  the 
form  of  a  locative  case,  seen  in  ibl,  there ,  and  ubi,  where  (709). 

648.  In  old  Latin,  the  ablative  is  med,  ted,  sed  (426),  which  forms  are  also 
used  irrationally  for  the  accusative.  But  by  Terence’s  time  the  -d  was  no  longer 
used  (143). 

649.  Older  forms  for  vestrum  and  vestri  are  vostrum  and  vostri.  The 
genitive  plural  was  originally  a  genitive  of  the  possessive  :  that  in  -i  being  the  neuter 
singular,  that  in  -um  the  masculine  or  feminine  plural.  In  old  Latin,  nostrorum, 
nostrarum,  vostrSrum,  vostrarum  also  occur. 

650.  Emphasis  is  given  (1.)  by  reduplication  (189):  N.  tute ;  with 
-ne  interrogative,  tutine  ;  Ac.  and  Ab.  meme,  tete,  rare ;  sese,  very  com¬ 
mon.  (2.)  by  -met  added  to  any  case  but  the  genitive  plural :  as,  egomet; 
but  tu  has  only  tutemet  or  tutimet.

D.  and  Ab.  vobeis.  Ac.  enos  in  an  old  hymn  ;  seese  (28). 


THE  PERSONAL  AND  REFLEXIVE  POSSESSIVE. 

652.  The  possessives  of  ego,  tu,  and  sui,  are  meus,  mine,  tuus, 
thine ,  and  suus,  his ,  her ,  its,  their \own),  declined  like  bonus  (613), 
except  that  meus  has  ml  in  the  vocative  singular  masculine  (459) ; 
those  of  nos  and  vos  are  noster,  our,  and  voster,  later  vester, 
your ,  declined  like  aeger  (617). 

653.  Old  forms  are  tuos,  tuom,  and  suos,  suom  (452).  In  old  verse  metis, 
mel,  &c.,  tdos,  tui,  &c.,  subs,  sui,  &c.,  often  occur.  sds  for  suos,  sas 
for  suas,  and  sis  for  suis,  are  old  and  rare.

655.  Emphasis  is  given  (1.)  by  -met  added  to  sub,  sua,  subs,  and  to 
mea  and  sua,  neuter  plural :  as,  submet ;  (2.)  by  -pte,  which  is  oftenest 
found  with  the  ablative  :  as,  subpte. 


(B.)  OTHER  PRONOUNS. 

656.  Some  pronouns  have  a  peculiar  genitive  singular  in 
-Ius  and  dative  singular  in  -I,  for  masculine,  feminine,  and 
neuter  alike. 

These  are  :  iste,  ille,  ipse,  uter,  and  their  derivatives.  Some  other 
words  of  a  pronoun  character  also  have  this  form  of  the  genitive  and  dative: 
see  618.  > 

657.  In  verse,  the  -i-  of  the  genitive  is  often  shortened,  and  always  in 
utriusque  ;  but  neutrius  is  not  found  with  short  i.  In  dramatic  verse, 
the  genitive  singular  of  iste,  ille,  or  ipse,  is  often  two  syllables. 

658.  hie,  is,  qui  or  quis,  and  their  derivatives  have  the  genitive 
singular  in  -ius,  thus :  huius,  eius,  and  qubius  or  cuius ;  in  dramatic 
verse,  these  genitives  are  often  one  syllable.  Their  datives  are  huic  for 
hoice,  6i  or  €1,  and  quoi  or  cui. 

659.  Six  words  have  a  peculiar  neuter  nominative  and  accusative  singular  in  -d  : 
id,  illud,  istud,  quid,  quod,  aliud,  and  derivatives.  In  manuscripts,  -t  is 
sometimes  found  for  -d:  as,  it,  illut,  istut,  &c. ;  _sometimes  also  in  inscriptions 
of  the  empire.  In  hoc  for  *hod-cg  and  in  istuc  and  illuc  for  *istud-ce, 
*illud-ce,  the  d  has  vanished  (138). 


THE  DEMONSTRATIVE  PRONOUN. 

660.  The  demonstrative  pronouns  are  hie,  this ,  this  near  me ; 
iste,  istic,  that,  that  near  you ;  and  ille,  illic,  yonder,  that,

662.  The  stem  of  hie  is  ho-,  ha- ;  to  most  of  its  cases  a  demonstrative 
-c  for  -ce  is  attached.  The  masculine  and  feminine  nominative  singular 
and  nominative  and  accusative  neuter  plural  take  an  -i-  :  hie  for  *ho-i-ce, 
*heice  (87) ;  haec  for  ha-i-ce  (84).  hunc,  hanc,  are  for  *hom-ce, 
*ham-ce.

huice,  Acl  hunce.  Plural:  Ne.  N.  and  Ac.  haece,  G.  F.  harunce  ;  also 
hSrunc,  harunc.  After  100  b.  c.,  the  full  form  -ce  is  not  found,  except  occasionally 
after  -s:  huiusce,  hSsce,  hasce,  hisce.  Before  -ne  interrogative  it  is  re¬ 
tained  in  the  weakened  form  -ci-  :  as,  hicine.  But  hicne,  hScne,  huicne, 
&c.,  are  found,  though  rarely. 

664.  The  nominative  hie  or  hicine  and  nominative  and  accusative  hoc  or 
hocine  sometimes  have  the  vowel  before  C  short.  A  nominative  plural  feminine 
haec  is  found  in  writers  of  all  ages.  Other  and  rare  forms  are:  PI.  N.  M.  hisce

683.  (b.)  The  interrogative  adjective  qui,  quae,  quod, 
which  ?  what?  is  declined  like  the  relative  qui  (682). 

684.  The  interrogative  substantive  has  in  the  nominative 
singular  quis,  quid,  who?  what?  the  rest  is  like  qui  (682). 

In  old  Latin,  quis  is  both  masculine  and  feminine,  but  a  separate  feminine  form 
quae  is  used  three  or  four  times. 

685.  quis  interrogative  is  sometimes  used  adjectively  with  appellatives : 
as,  quis  senator  ?  what  senator?  And  qui  is  sometimes  used  substantively  : 
as,  qui  primus  Ameriam  nuntiat  ?  who  is  the  first  to  britig  the  tidings 
to  Ameria  ? 

686.  (c.)  The  indefinite  quis  or  qui,  one,  any ,  has  the  fol¬ 
lowing  forms  : 

quis  and  quid  masculine  and  neuter  substantives,  qui  and  quod  adjec¬ 
tives  ;  feminine  singular  nominative  and  neuter  plural  nominative  and 
accusative  commonly  qua,  also  quae.  The  rest  is  like  qui  (6S2). 

687.  quis,  quem,  quid,  and  quibus  come  from  the  stem  aui- ;  the  other 
parts  come  from  quo-,  qua-,  quae  stands  for  an  older  quai  (690).  For  quid 
and  quod,  see  659. 

688.  Old  forms  of  the  genitive  singular  are  quoius,  and  of  the  dative  quoiei, 
quoii,  or  quoi,  also  in  derivatives  of  qui  or  quis.  A  genitive  plural  quoium 
is  old  and  rare.  The  dative  and  ablative  plural  is  sometimes  quis  from  quo-, 
qua-.  A  nominative  plural  interrogative  and  indefinite  ques  is  rare  (Pacuv.). 

689.  The  ablative  or  locative  is  sometimes  qui,  from  the  stem  qui-  :  as 
an  interrogative,  how  ?  as  a  relative,  wherewith ,  whereby,  masculine,  femi¬ 
nine,  or  neuter,  in  old  Latin  sometimes  with  a  plural  antecedent;  especially 
referring  to  an  indefinite  person,  and  with  cum  attached,  quicum ;  and  as  an 
indefinite,  somehow.

tives.  Forms  requiring  special  mention  are  named  below  : 

692.  quisquis,  whoever ,  s whatever ,  everybody  who ,  everything  -which,  an

Ac.  only  aliqua ;  D.  and  Ab.  sometimes  aliquis  (688). 

ecquis  or  ecqui,  ecqua  or  ecquae,  ecquid  or  ecquod,  any  ?  Besides

quisquam,  quicquam  or  quidquam,  anybody  at  all,  anythhig  at  all, 
generally  a  substantive,  less  frequently  an  adjective,  any  at  all .  There  is  no 
distinctive  feminine  form,  and  quisquam  and  quemquam  are  rarely,  and 
in  old  Latin,  used  as  a  feminine  adjective.  Ab.  also  quiquam  (689),  some¬ 
times  as  adverb,  in  any  -way  at  all.  No  plural.

694.  The  derivatives  of  uter  are  declined  like  uter ;  they 
are :

THE  ADVERB, 

THE  CONJUNCTION,  AND  THE  PREPOSITION. 


I.  NOUNS  AS  ADVERBS. 

696.  Adverbs,  conjunctions,  and  prepositions  are  chiefly  noun  or 
pronoun  cases  which  have  become  fixed  in  a  specific  form  and  with  a 
specific  meaning.  Many  of  these  words  were  still  felt  to  be  live  cases, 
even  in  the  developed  period  of  the  language  ;  with  others  the  con¬ 
sciousness  of  their  noun  character  was  lost. 

697.  Three  cases  are  used  adverbially  :  the  accusa¬ 
tive,  the  ablative,  and  the  locative. 

698.  T  he  rather  indeterminate  meaning  of  the  accusative  and  the  ablative 
is  sometimes  more  exactly  defined  by  a  preposition.  The  preposition  may 
either  accompany  its  usual  case :  as,  adamussim,  admodum,  ilicS  ;  or  it 
may  be  loosely  prefixed,  with  more  of  the  nature  of  an  adverb  than  of  a 
preposition,  to  a  case  with  which  it  is  not  ordinarily  used:  as,  examussim, 
interea.  Sometimes  it  stands  after  the  noun  :  as,  nuper  (*novomper) 
lately.  Besides  the  three  cases  named  above,  other  forms  occur,  some  of 
which  are  undoubtedly  old  case  endings,  though  they  can  no  longer  be  recog¬ 
nized  as  such  :  see  710. 


(1.)  Accusative. 

(a.)  Accusative  of  Substantives. 

6gg.  domum,  homeward,  home ;  rus,  afield  ;  foras,  out  of  doors  (*fora-) ; 
vicem,  instead ;  partim,  in  part ;  old  noenum  or  noenu,  common  non,  for 
ne-oenum,  i.  e.  unum,  not  one ,  naught ,  not;  admodum,  to  a  degree,  very ; 
adamussim,  examussim,  to  a  T ;  adfatim,  to  satiety ;  invicem,  in  turn, 
each  other. 

700.  Many  adverbs  in  -tim  and  -sim  denote  manner  ( 549) :  as,  cautim, 
warily,  ’statim,  at  once,  sensim,  perceptibly ,  gradually ;  ostiatim,  door  by 
door,  viritim,  man  by  man,  furtim,  stealthily. 

( b .)  Accusative  of  Adjectives  and  Pronouns. 

701.  Neuters:  all  comparative  adverbs  in  -ius  (361)  :  as,  doctius,  more 
learnedly  ;  so  minus,  less,  magis,  more  (363).  primum ,  first,  secundum, 
secondly,  &c. ;  turn,  then  (to-,  that)  ;  commodum,ya;/  in  time;  minimum, 
at  least,  potissimum,  in  preference,  postremum,  at  last,  summum,  at  most  ; 
versum,  toward,  rursum,  russum,  rusum,  back ;  facile,  easily,  impune, 
scotfree,  recens,  lately,  semel,  once  (simili-),  simul,  together  (simili-).  Plu¬ 
ral  :  cetera,  for  the  rest ;  quia,  because  (qui-) ;  in  old  Latin  frustra,  in  vain 
(fraud-). 

702.  Feminines:  bifariam,  twofold;  coram,  face  to  face  (com-  or  co-, 
*ora-) ;  tarn,  so  (ta-,  that)  \  quam,  as,  hozu.  Plural:  alias  ,071  other  occasions.

Words:  Inflection . 


(2.)  Ablative.

tu5,  to  the  end,  crebrS,  frequently,  rard,  seldom,  repentino,  suddenly,  sero, 
late ,  primS ,  at  first.  Many  denote  manner:  as,  arcano,  privily,  serio,  in 
earnest.  Some  are  formed  from  participles  :  as,  auspicato,  with  allspices 
taken ;  composito,  by  agreement.  A  plural  is  rare  :  alternis,  alternately. 

705.  Instead  of  -5,  neuter  ablatives  commonly  have  -e  :  as,  Ion ge,far, 
docte,  wisely.  So  also  superlatives  :  facillime,  most  easily,  anciently  facilv- 
med  (362).  A  few  ablatives  have  -e  :  as,  repente,  suddenly. 

706.  From  pronouns  some  end  in  -!  (689) :  as,  qui,  how  ?  indefinite,  qui, 
somehow  ;  atqui,  but  somehow  ;  qui-quam,  in  any  way  at  all. 

707.  Feminines:  many  in  -a:  una,  together;  circa,  around;  contra, 
against  (com-,  347);  extra,  outside  (ex,  347)  ;  in  classical  Latin,  frustra, 
in  vain  (fraud-).  So,  especially,  adverbs  denoting  the  ‘route by  which  :  ’  hac, 
this  way ;  recta,  straightway. 


(3.)  Locative. 

708.  In  -i,  from  names  of  towns  and  a  few  other  words :  KarthaginI,

ill!-c,  there  (illo-),  isti,  commonly  isti-c,  where  you  are,  hi-c,  here  (ho-) ;  old 
sei,  common  si,  at  that,  in  that  case,  so,  if',  sic,  so  (si,  -ce). 

709.  In  -bi,  from  some  pronouns:  ibf,  there  (i-) ;  ubl  (for  *quobY,  124), 
where  ;  alicubl,  somewhere  ;  si-cubi,  if  anywhere,  ne-cubi,  lest  anywhere. 

Other  Endings. 

710.  Besides  the  above,  other  endings  are  also  found  in  Words  of 
this  class  :  as, 

-s  in  abs,  from,  ex,  out  of;  similarly  us-que,  in  every  case,  ever 
(quo-que),  us-quam,  anywhere  at  all  (quo-quam,  124).  -tus  has  the  mean¬ 
ing  of  an  ablative  :  as,  intus ,from  within,  within  ;  antiquitus,/r/w/  old  times, 
anciently  ;  funditus,  from  the  bottom,  entirely.  -6  denotes  the  ‘  place  to  which  *

713-723-] 


Words:  Inflection. 


(B.)  INFLECTION  OF  THE  VERB. 

713.  The  verb  is  inflected  by  attaching  person 
endings  to  the  several  stems. 


THE  STEM. 

714.  The  stem  contains  the  meaning  of  the  verb,  and  also  denotes 
the  mode  (mood)  and  the  time  (tense)  of  the  action  as  viewed 
by  the  speaker. 

7I5-  There  are  three  Moods,  Indicative ,  Subjunctive ,  and  Im¬ 
perative. 

716.  There  are  six  Tenses  in  the  indicative,  three  of  the  present 
system,  Present,  Imperfect ,  and  Future;  and  three  of  the  perfect 
system,  Perfect,  Pluperfect ,  and  Future  Perfect.  The  subjunctive 
lacks  the  futures  ;  the  imperative  has  only  the  present. 

717.  The  meanings  of  the  moods  and  tenses  are  best  learnt  from  reading. 
No  satisfactory  translation  can  be  given  in  the  paradigms,  especially  of  the 
subjunctive,  which  requires  a  variety  of  translations  for  its  various  uses. 

718.  T  he  verb  has  two  principal  stems :  I.  The  Present 
stem,  which  is  the  base  of  the  present  system;  II.  The  Perfect 
stem,  which  is  the  base  of  the  perfect  active  system. 

719.  The  perfect  system  has  no  passive  ;  its  place  is  supplied  by  the  per¬ 
fect  participle  with  a  form  of  sum,  am,  or  less  frequently  of  fui,  am  become. 

720.  Many  verbs  have  only  the  present  system:  as,  maereo,  mourn; 
some  have  only  the  perfect  system  :  as,  meminl,  remember.  Some  verbs 
have  a  present  and  perfect  system  made  up  of  two  separate  roots  or  stems :  as, 
present  indicative  fer5,  carry,  perfect  indicative  tuli,  and  perfect  participle 
latus ;  present  possum,  can,  perfect  potul. 


THE  PERSON  ENDING. 

721.  The  person  ending  limits  the  meaning  of  the  stem  by  point¬ 
ing  out  the  person  of  the  subject.  There  are  three  Persons,  the 
First,  used  of  the  speaker,  the  Second ,  of  what  is  spoken  to,  and  the 
Third,  of  what  is  spoken  of.  The  person  ending  furthermore  indi¬ 
cates  number  and  voice. 

722.  There  are  two  Numbers:  the  Singular ,  used  of  one,  and 
the  Plural,  used  of  more  than  one. 

723.  There  are  two  Voices  :  the  Active,  indicating  that  the  sub¬ 
ject  acts,  and  the  Passive,  indicating  that  the  subject  acts  on  himself, 
or  more  commonly  is  acted  on  by  another. 

96 


The  Verb:  Person  Endings.  [724-731. 


724.  Only  transitive  verbs  have  all  persons  of  the  passive.  Intransitive 
verbs  have  in  the  passive  only  the  third  person  singular,  used  imper¬ 
sonally  ;  the  participle  in  this  construction  is  neuter. 

725.  Some  verbs  have  only  the  passive  person  endings,  but  with  a 
reflexive  or  an  active  meaning  ;  such  are  called  Deponents :  see  79S. 

726.  The  person  endings  are  as  follows  :

727.  In  the  perfect  indicative  active,  the  second  person  singular  ends 
in  -ti,  and  the  third  person  plural  in  -runt  for  an  older  -ront,  or  in  -re. 
-re  is  most  used  in  poetry  and  history,  and  by  Cato  and  Sallust;  -runt  by 
Cicero,  and  almost  always  by  Caesar. 

728.  In  the  indicative,  -m  is  not  used  in  the  present  (except  in  sum, 
am,  and  inquam,  quoth  I),  in  the  perfect  or  future  perfect,  or  in  the  future 
in  -bo.  -s  is  not  used  in  es  or  es,  thou  art,  and  in  es,  eatest  (139). 

729.  In  inscriptions, -d  sometimes  stands  for-t  in  the  third  person  singular,  and 
sometimes -t  is  not  used:  as,  fecid,  made,  for  fecit;  dede,  gnve,  for  dedet  or 
dedit.  And  other  forms  of  the  third  person  plural  of  the  indicative  active  are 
sometimes  used :  as,  dedrot,  dedro,  and  dederi , gave,  for  dederunt,  emerv, 
bought ,  for  emerunt. 

730.  In  the  passive  second  person  singular,  -re  is  not  very  common  in 
the  present  indicative,  except  in  deponents;  but  in  other  tenses  -re  is  pre¬ 
ferred,  especially  in  the  future  -bere,  by  Cicero,  -ris  by  Livy  and  Tacitus. 
The  second  person  plural  passive  is  wanting ;  its  place  is  supplied  by  a 
masculine  participle  form  in  -mini,  which  is  used  without  reference  to  gender, 
for  gender  words  and  neuters  alike  (29 7). 

731.  Deponents  have  rarely  -mino  in  the  imperative  singular  :  as,  second  person, 
progredimino,  step  forward  thou  (Plaut.);  in  laws,  as  third  person:  frvimino,  let 
him  enjoy;  or  -t5  and  -nt5  for  -tor  and  -ntor  :  as,  utitd,  let  him  use;  utunto, 
let  them  use.  In  a  real  passive,  -nt5  is  rare  :  as,  censento,  let  them  be  rated.

NOUNS  OF  THE  VERB. 

732.  The  verb  is  accompanied  by  some  nouns,  which  are 
conveniently,  though  not  quite  accurately,  reckoned  parts  of 
the  verb  ;  they  are : 

Three  Infinitives,  Present  Active  and  Passive ,  and  Perfect  Active , 
sometimes  called  the  Infinitive  Mood.  For  the  future  active  and 
passive  and  the  perfect  passive,  compound  forms  are  used. 

The  Germid  and  the  Gerundive. 

Two  Su fines. 

Three  Participles,  Present  and  Future  Active,  and  Perfect  Passive.

733-  The  several  verb  stems  can  readily  be  found,  when  once  the

DESIGNATION  OF  THE  VERB. 


736.  A  verb  is  usually  named  by  the  present  indicative  active  first 
person  singular:  as,  rego;  laudo,  moneo,  audiS;  or  by  the  present  infin¬ 
itive  active  :  as,  regere  ;  laudare,  monere,  audire.  Deponents  are  named 
by  the  corresponding  passive  forms:  as,  queror;  mfror,  vereor,  partior; 
or  queri;  mirarl,  vererl,  partiri. 

737.  For  convenience,  verbs  with  -ere  in  the  present  infinitive  active 
are  called  Verbs  in  -ere ;  those  with  -are,  -ere,  or  -ire,  Verbs  in  -are, 
-ere,  or  -ire,  respectively.  In  like  manner  deponents  are  designated  as 
Verbs  in  -I ;  or  Verbs  in  -ari,  -eri,  or  — iri,  respectively.

[738-744. 


THEME  OF  THE  VERB. 

738-  The  several  stems  of  the  verb  come  from  a  form  called 
the  Theme.  In  primitives,  the  theme  is  a  root ;  in  denominatives, 
the  theme  is  a  noun  stem. 

Thus,  reg-  in  reg-d  is  a  root ;  while  vesti-  in  vesti-5,  dress,  is  a  noun 
stem.  The  noun  stem  is  sometimes  modified  in  form.  Oftentimes  the  noun 
stem  is  only  presumed :  as,  audi-  in  audi-o. 

73g.  Some  verbs  have  a  denominative  theme  in  the  present  system,  and 
a  primitive  theme  in  the  perfect  system,  others  have  the  reverse. 

740.  Most  verbs  with  an  infinitive  of  more  than  two  syllables  in 
-are,  -ere,  or  -Ire,  or,  if  deponent,  in  -ari,  -eri,  or  -In,  are  denomina¬ 
tive  ;  most  other  verbs  are  primitive. 

Thus,  laudare,  monere,  audire  ;  mirarl,  vereri,  partiri,  are  denom¬ 
inative ;  while  esse,  dare,  (de)lere,  regere,  querl,  are  primitive.  A  few 
verbs,  however,  which  have  the  appearance  of  denominatives,  are  thought 
to  be  primitive  in  their  origin. 

- «. - 

ARRANGEMENT  OF  THE  VERB. 

741.  Verbs  are  divided  into  two  classes,  according 
to  the  form  of  the  present  system  :  I.  Root  verbs,  and 
verbs  in  -ere,  mostly  primitive  ;  II.  Verbs  in  -are, 
-ere,  or  -Ire,  mostly  denominative. 

742.  Verbs  are  sometimes  arranged  without  regard  to  difference  of  kind,  in  the 
alphabetical  order  of  the  vowel  before  -s  of  the  second  person  singular  of  the  present 
indicative  active,  a,  e,  i,  i :  thus,  laudas,  mones,  regis,  audls,  sometimes 
called  the  first ,  second ,  third ,  and  fourth  conjugation  respectively. 


I.  Primitive  Verbs. 

743.  A  few  of  the  oldest  and  commonest  verbs  of  everyday 
life  have  a  bare  root  as  stem  in  the  present  indicative  or  in  parts 
of  it ;  and  some  of  them  have  other  peculiarities  ;  such  are  called 
Root  Verbs,  or  by  some,  irregular  (744-781).  Most  primitives  are

747.  The  indicative  and  imperative  es  is  for  an  older  es,  which  is  regularly 
used  by  Plautus  and  Terence.  The  e  of  es  and  est  is  not  pronounced  after  a 
vowel  or  -m,  and  is  often  omitted  in  writing:  as,  experrecta  es,  pronounced 
experrectas;  epistula  est,  pronounced  epistulast;  consilium  est,  pro¬ 
nounced  c5nsiliumst.  In  the  dramatists,  -s  preceded  by  a  vowel,  which  is  usually 
short,  unites  with  a  following  es  or  est  :  thus,  tu  servos  es  becomes  tu  servos  ; 
similis  est,  similist;  virtus  est,  virtust;  res  est,  rest. 

748.  Old  forms  are:  sont  (inscr.  about  120  B.c.);  with  suffix  -sc5  (834), 
escit  (for  *esscit),  gets  to  be,  -will  be,  escunt;  present  subjunctive,  siem,  sies, 
siet,  and  sient  (841),  common  in  inscriptions  down  to  100  b.c.,  and  in  old  verse; 
also  in  compounds ;  imperative  estod  rare. 

749.  The  present  participle  is  used  only  as  an  adjective.  It  has  two  forms : 
sontem  (accusative,  no  nominative),  which  has  entirely  lost  its  original  meaning  of 
being,  actual ,  the  real  man,  and  lias  only  the  secondary  meaning  of  guilty,  and 
insdns,  innocent ;  and  -sens  in  absens,  away ,  praesens,  at  hand,  and  di 
consentes,  gods  collective,  sum  has  no  gerund  or  gerundive. 

750.  A  subjunctive  present  fuam,  fuas,  fuat,  and  fuant  occurs  in  old  Latin, 
and  an  imperfect  forem,  fores,  foret,  and  forent,  in  all  periods.  The  present 
infinitive  fore,  to  get  to  be,  become ,  has  a  future  meaning.  Old  forms  in  the  perfect 
system  are  fvveit  (28),  fvet;  fuit,  fuimus,  fuerim,  fuerit,  fuerint,  fuisset 
(Plaut.,  Enn.).  ful  has  no  perfect  participle  or  supine.

752.  possum  is  formed  from  potis  or  pote,  able ,  and  sum,  juxtaposed 
(396).  The  separate  forms  potis  sum,  &c.,  or  pote  sum,  &c.,  are  also  used,  and 
sometimes  even  potis  or  pote  alone  takes  the  place  of  a  verb;  in  either  case  potis 
and  pote  are  indeclinable,  and  are  applied  to  gender  words  and  neuters  both. 

753.  t  is  retained  before  a  vowel,  except  in  possem,  &c.,  for  potessem,  &c., 
and  in  posse;  t  before  s  changes  to  s  (145).  Old  forms  are:  possiem,  &c. 
(748),  potessem,  potisset,  potesse.  Rare  forms  are  potesto  (inscr.  58  b.c.), 
and  passives,  as  potestur,  &c.,  with  a  passive  infinitive  (1484).  possum  has  no 
participles;  the  perfect  system,  potul,  &c.,  is  like  ful,  &c.  (745).

.  755-  In  the  present  system  a  is  short  throughout  in  the  first  syllable,  except  in 

das  and  da.  For  dedl,  datus,  and  supines  datum,  datu,  see  859  and  900. 

756.  Old  forms :  with  suffix  -n5  (83 3) :  danunt  for  dant.  From  another 
form  of  the  root  come  duis,  duit;  interduo,  concreduS,  perfect  concredui; 
subjunctive  duim,  duis  (duas),  duit  and  duint  (841),  and  compounds,  used 
especially  in  law  language,  and  in  praying  and  cursing;  creduam,  creduas  or 
creduis,  creduat  or  creduit. 

757.  Real  compounds  of  do  have  a  present  system  like  regS  (782) ;  in 
the  perfect  and  the  perfect  participle,  e  and  a  become  i :  as,  abdS,  put 
away ,  abdere,  abdidi,  abditus;  credS,  put  trust  in.  perdS,  fordo,  destroy, 
and  vends,  put for  sale,  have  gerundives  perdendus,  vendundus,  and  perfect 
participles  perditus,  venditus ;  the  rest  of  the  passive  is  supplied  by  forms 
of  pered  and  veneS.  reddS,  give  back ,  has  future  reddibS  3  times  (Plaut.). 
In  the  apparent  compounds  with  circum,  pessum,  satis,  and  venum,  do 
remains  without  change,  as  in  754. 

(3.)  bibo,  sero,  and  sisto. 

758.  bibo,  drink,  sero,  sow ,  and  sisto,  set,  form  their  present  stem  by 
reduplication  of  the  root  (189).  The  vowel  before  the  person  endings  is 
the  root  vowel,  which  becomes  variable,  like  a  formative  vowel  (824).  These 
verbs  have  the  present  system  like  regS  (782). 


(b.)  With  the  Bare  Root  in  parts. 
inquam,  e5,  and  queS. 

759.  inquam,  eo,  and  queo  have  the  bare  root  as  present  stem,  in 
almost  all  their  parts ;  in  a  few  parts  only  the  root  is  extended  by  a  forma¬ 
tive  vowel  (829). 


(1.)  inquam,  say  /,  quoth  I. 

760.  inquam,  say  /,  is  chiefly  used  in  quoting  a  person’s  direct  words  ; 
and,  from  its  meaning,  is  naturally  very  defective.  The  only  parts  in  com¬

have  a  complete  passive  :  as,  adeor,  adiris,  &c.  ambio,  go  round,  canvass , 
follows  denominatives  in  -ire  (796),  but  has  once  or  twice  the  imperfect 
ambibat,  ambibant,  ambibatur  (Liv.,  Tac.,  Plin.  Ep.),  and  once  the  future 
ambibunt  (Plin.);  future  perfect  ambissit,  ambissint,  once  each  (prol. 
Plaut.). 

764.  The  i  is  weakened  from  ei  (88):  as,  eis,  eit,  eite,  abeis,  abei 
(Plaut.);  EITVR,  ABEI,  ADEITVR  (inscr.  130  B.C.),  VENEIRE  (49  B.C.),  PRAETEREIS, 
Before  o,  u,  or  a,  the  root  becomes  e.  For  u  in  euntis,  see  902. 

765.  Old  forms  are  :  ier5  (Plaut.),  li,  ierat  (Ter. ),  once  each  ( 58) ;  in  an  inscrip¬ 
tion  of  186  B.C.,  ADIESET,  ADIESENT,  ADIESE,  and  of  I46  B.C.,  RED1EIT  (105)  J  IN-

766.  Compounds  often  have  a  double  i  in  the  second  persons  of  the  perfect 
indicative,  in  the  pluperfect  subjunctive  throughout,  and  in  the  perfect  infin¬ 
itive  :  as,  abiisti,  abiistis  ;  abiissem,  &c. ;  abiisse ;  oftener  still,  however, 
a  single  long  i  (105) :  as,  abisti,  &c.  In  the  first  person  of  the  perfect  in¬ 
dicative  a  single  long  I  is  found  rarely  in  late  writers  in  the  singular :  as, 
adi  (Val.  FI.). 

767.  A  few  examples  are  found  of  a  perfect  system  with  v,  as  ivi,  &c. 
This  form  is  confined  almost  exclusively  to  poetry  and  late  prose. 

(a.)  Examples  of  simple  forms  with  v  are:  iverS,  Ivisse  (Plaut.),  Ivit  (Cato), 
ivi  (Ter.,  Varro),  iverat  (Catull.).  (A)  Compound  forms  :  obivit  (Verg.),  subivit 
(Ov.,  Stat.);  transivisse  (Claud,  ap.  Tac.),  inivimus,  transivi,  transivimus 
(Curt.),  transivit,  transiverant  (Sen.),  exivit  (Gell.).  Apparent  compounds 
(396):  ante  ivit  (Ov.) ;  intrd  ivit  (C.  Gracch.,  Piso,  Gell,). 

(3.)  que5,  can. 

768.  que5,  can ,  and  nequeo,  can't ,  have  the  perfect  quivi,  the  rest  like 
eo  (762) ;  but  they  have  no  imperative,  gerundive,  or  future  participle,  and 
the  present  participle  is  rare,  queo  is  commonly  used  with  a  negative,  and 
some  parts  only  so.  Passive  forms  are  rare,  and  only  used  with  a  passive 
infinitive  (1484). 


edo ;  volo  (nolo,  malo)  and  fero.

771.  comedo,  eat  up,  has  also  the  following  root  forms:  comes,  comest,

The  Verb:  Verbs  in  -i5,  -ere.  [785 — 79 1 . 


785-  There  are  a  dozen  verbs  in  -io,  -ere,  like  capio,  and  three  deponents  in 
-ior,  -i,  all  formed  from  consonant  roots  with  a  short  vowel :  see  836.  aid,  say , 
and  f  15,  grow ,  become ,  have  certain  peculiarities  arising  from  the  blending  of  the  root 
with  the  suffix. 

(1.)  aio,  say,  say  ay,  avouch  (ag-). 


786.  aid,  say ,  is  defective,  and  has  only  these  parts  in  common  use  :

787.  For  aio,  sometimes  written  aiio  (22),  see  135.  Old  forms  are:  present 
ais,  ais,_ais,  ais,  or  with  -n  interrogative  ain,  ain ;  ait,  ait,  or  ait ;  imperfect 
aibam,  aibas,  aibat,  and  axbant ;  imperative  once  only,  ai  (Naev.).  A  participle 
aientibus,  affirmative,  occurs  once  (Cic.). 

(2.)  fid,  become,  am  made. 

788.  fid,  become ,  and  factus  sum  supplement  each  other  :  in  the  present 
system,  the  passive  of  facio,  make,  except  the  gerundive,  faciendus,  is  not 
used,  fid,  &c.,  taking  its  place  ;  in  the  perfect  system,  only  factus  sum,  &c., 
is  used.

Part.  Pres.  - 

789.  In  fid,  &c.,  i  represents  an  older  ei,  seen  in  feient  (inscr.  45  b.c,).  The 
infinitive  fieri  is  not  a  passive  form,  but  represents  an  older  fierei  (65) ;  twice  fiere 
(Enn.,  Laev.).  The  vowel  before  -er-  in  fierem,  &c.,  and  fieri,  is  sometimes  long 
in  the  dramatists  where  a  cretic  (_  „  _)  is  required,  but  otherwise  always  short. 

790.  -fid  is  used  in  apparent  compounds  (394) :  as.  patgfit.  In  real  compounds 
commonly  -ficior:  as,  conficior;  but  sometimes  -fid:  as,  confit,  confiunt, 
confiat,  confieret,  confierent,  confieri ;  defit,  defiet,  defiat,  defieri ; 
effit,  effiant,  eefieri ;  infit;  interfiat,  interfieri ;  superfit,  superfiat. 

791.  Some  verbs  in  -id,  -ere  (or  -ior,  -i),  have  occasionally  the  form  of 
verbs  in  -ire  (or  -iri),  in  some  parts  of  the  present  system,  oftenest  before 
an  r,  and  particularly  in  the  passive  infinitive :  as, 

fodiri,  3  times  (Cato,  Col.  2),  circumfodiri  (Col.),  eefodiri  (Plaut.);  adgre- 
diri  (adgredirier),  4  times  (Plaut.),  progrediri  (Plaut.);  moriri  6  times  (Plaut. 
4.  Pomp.,  Ov.),  emoriri  twice  (Plaut..  Ter.);  oriri.  always;  parire,  twice  (Plaut,, 
Enn.);  usuallv  potiri  (potirier).  Also  cupiret  (Lucr.);  adgredire,  adgredi- 
bor,  adgredimur  (Plaut.);  morimur  (Enn.);  oriris  (Varr.,  Sen.),  adoritur 
(Lucil.,  Lucr.),  oriretur  (Cic.,  Nep.,  Sail.,  Liv.),  adoriretur  (Liv.,  Suet.) ;  paribis

The  Verb:  Periphrastic  Forms.  [799-B03. 


799.  Three  deponents  in  -ior,  -I,  gradior,  walk,  morior,  die ,  and  patior, 
suffer,  and  their  compounds,  have  a  present  system  like  the  passive  of  capio  ( 7S4 ). 
But  adgredior  and  progredior  and  morior  and  emorior  have  sometimes  the 
forms  of  verbs  in  -iri ;  for  these,  and  for  orior,  arise ,  oriri,  ortus,  and  potior, 
become  master  of ,  potlri,  potitus,  see  791.  By  far  the  largest  number  of  deponents 
are  verbs  in  -ari,  like  miror,  mirari  (368). 

800.  Some  verbs  waver  between  active  and  passive  person  endings  :  as,  adsentid, 
agree ,  adsentireLand  adsentior,  adsentiri ;  pcpulo,  ravage ,  populare,  2nd 
populor,  populari:  see  1481. 

801.  A  few  verbs  are  deponent  in  the  present  system  only :  as,  devortor,  Uirn 
in,  perfect  devorti ;  revortor,  turn  back,  perfect  revorti,  but  with  active  perfect 
participle  revorsus.  Four  are  deponent  in  the  perfect  system  only:  fido,  trust, 
fidere,  fisus,  and  the  compounds,  ednfido,  diffldd  ;  and  audeo,  dare,  audere, 
ausus,  gaudeo,  feel  glad,  gaudere,  gavisus,  and  soled,  am  used,  solere, 
solitus.  Most  impersonals  in  -ere  have  both  an  active  and  a  deponent  form  in  the 
perfect  system  :  see  815,  816. 


PERIPHRASTIC  FORMS. 

802.  (1.)  The  future  active  participle  with  a  form  of  sum  is 
used  to  denote  an  intended  or  future  action  :  as, 


recturus  sum,  I  am  going  to  rule,  intend  to  rule.

DEFECTIVE  VERBS. 

805.  (1.)  Some  verbs  have  only  a  few  forms  :  as, 

inquam,  quoth  I  (760) ;  aid,  avouch  (786).  See  also  apage,  avaunt , 
get  thee  behind  me,  cedo,  give,  tell ,  fan,  to  lift  up  one's  voice,  have  or  avl  and 
salve,  all  hail ,  ovat,  triumphs ,  and  quaesd,  prithee ,  in  the  dictionary.

807.  (a.)  sum,  am  (745)  ;  ferd,  carry  (780) ;  fid,  grow,  become  (788). 

808.  (b.)  Some  verbs  in  -ere:  ango,  throttle,  bito,  go,  clango,  sound,

The  Verb:  Defective  Verbs.  [811-815. 


81 1.  Many  verbs  are  not  attended  by  a  perfect  participle,  and 
lack  in  consequence  the  perfect  passive  system,  or,  if  deponent, 
the  perfect  active  system. 

812.  (3.)  Some  verbs  have  only  the  perfect  system  :  so  particularly 
coepl,  have  begun,  began  (99) ;  and  with  a  present  meaning,  5di,  have  come  to 
hate ,  hate ;  and  memim,  have  called  to  mind,  remember.  The  following  is  a 
synopsis  of  these  three  verbs :

813.  A  few  forms  of  the  present  system  of  coepl  occur  in  old  writers :  as, 
coepi5  (Plaut.),  coepiam  (Caec.,  Cato),  coepiat  (Plaut.),  coeperet  (Ter.),  and 
coepere  (Plaut.);  perfect  once  coepit  (Lucr.).  osus  sum  or  fui  (Plant.,  C. 
Gracch.,  Cell.),  exbsus  sum  (Verg.,  Sen.,  Curt.,  Cell.),  and  perdsus  sum 
(Suet.,  Col.,  Quint.),  are  sometimes  used  as  deponents,  memim  is  the  only  verb 
which  has  a  perfect  imperative  active.  5di  and  memim  have  no  passive. 

814.  coepturus  is  rather  rare  and  late  (Liv.  2,  Plin.,  Suet.),  once  as  future 
infinitive  (Quint.);  and  osurus  is  very  rare  (Cic.,  Gell.).  exosus  and  perdsus,  as 
active  participles,  hating  bitterly ,  are  not  uncommon  in  writers  of  the  empire ;  the 
simple  5sus  is  not  used  as  a  participle. 

815.  (4.)  1  mpersonal  verbs  have  usually  only  the  third  person 
singular,  and  the  infinitive  present  and  perfect :  as, 

(a.)  pluit,  it  rains ,  tonat,  it  thunders ,  and  other  verbs  denoting  the 
operations  of  nature,  (b.)  Also  a  few  verbs  in  -ere  denoting  feeling:  as, 
miseret  (or  miseretur,  miserescit),  it  distresses,  miseritum  est ;  paenitet, 
it  repents,  paenituit ;  piget,  it  grieves,  piguit  or  pigitum  est ;  pudet,  it 
shames ,  puduit  or  puditum  est ;  taedet,  it  is  a  bore,  taesum  est.

Words :  Inflection . 


816.  Some  other  verbs,  less  correctly  called  impersonal,  with  an 
infinitive  or  a  sentence  as  subject,  are  likewise  defective  :  as, 

lubet  or  libet,  it  suits ,  lubitum  or  libitum  est,  lubuit  or  libuit ;  licet, 
it  is  allowed ,  licuit  or  licitum  est ;  oportet,  it  is  proper ,  oportuit  ;  re  fert 
or  refert,  it  concerns ,  re  ferre  or  referre,  re  tulit  or  retulit.  For  the  imper¬ 
sonal  use  of  the  third  person  singular  passive,  as  pugnatur,  there  is  fighting , 
pugnandum  est,  there  must  be  fighting ,  see  724. 

817.  Of  the  impersonals  in  -ere,  some  have  other  forms  besides  the 
third  person  singular  and  the  infinitives :  as, 

fpaenitens,  repenting ,  paenitendus,  to  be.  regretted ,  late ;  pigendus,  irksome ; 
mdens,  modest,  pudendus,  shameful ,  puditurum,  going  to  shame;  lubens  or 
ibens,  with  willing  mind,  gladly,  very  common  indeed ;  imperative  liceto,  be  it 
allowed  (inserr.  133-m  B.C.),  licens,  unrestrained ,  licitus,  allowable;  gerunds 
pudendum,  pudendo,  pigendum. 


REDUNDANT  VERBS. 

818.  (1.)  Some  verbs  have  more  than  one  form  of  the  present 
stem  :  thus, 

819.  (a.)  Verbs  in  -ere  have  rarely  forms  of  verbs  in  -ere  in  the  present 
system:  as,  abnued,  nod  no,  abnuebunt  (Enn.),  for  abnud,  abnuent;  con- 
gruere,  to  agree  (Ter.),  for  congruere.  For  verbs  in  -io,  -ere  (or  -ior,  -i),  with 
forms  of  verbs  in  -ire  (or  -iri),  see  791.  Once  pinsibat  (Enn.). 

820.  (b.)  Some  verbs  in  -are  have  occasionally  a  present  stem  like  verbs 
in  -ere :  as,  lavis,  washest,  lavit,  &c.,  for  lavas,  lavat,  See. ;  sonit,  soutids, 
sonunt,  for  sonat,  sonant.  Others  have  occasionally  a  present  stem  like 
verbs  in  -ere  :  as,  denseo,  thicken ,  denser!,  for  denso,  densari. 

821.  (e. )  Some  verbs  in  -ere  have  occasionally  a  present  stem  like  verbs 
in  -ere :  as,  fervit,  boils,  fervont,  for  fervet,  fervent.  See  also  fulgeo, 
ole5,  seated,  strideo,  tergeo,  tueor  in  the  dictionary,  cieo,  set  a  going, 
sometimes  has  a  present  stem  in  -ire,  particularly  in  compounds:  as,  cimus, 
ciunt,  for  ciemus,  cient. 

822.  (d.)  Some  verbs  in  -ire  have  occasionally  a  present  stem  like  verbs 
in  -ere :  as,  evenunt,  tur7i  out,  for  eveniunt ;  evenat,  evenant,  for  eve- 
niat,  eveniant,  and  advenat,  pervenat,  for  adveniat,  perveniat  (Plaut.). 

823.  (2.)  Some  verbs  have  more  than  one  form  of  the  perfect 
stem  :  as, 

eo,  go,  old  ii  (765),  common  ii,  rarely  ivi  (767);  pluit,  it  rains,  pluit, 
sometimes  pluvit.  See  also  pango,  pared,  clepo,  vollo  or  vello,  intellego, 
pond,  necto,  and  adnecto,  salio  and  insilio,  applied,  explico  and  implied, 
dimico  and  need  in  the  dictionary.  Some  compound  verbs  have  a  form  of 
the  perfect  which  is  different  from  that  of  the  simple  verb :  as,  cano,  make 
music,  cecini,  concinui,  occinui ;  pungd,  punch,  pupugi,  compunxi,  ex- 
punxi;  lego ,  pick  up,  legi,  dilexi,  intellexi,  neglexi ;  emd,  take ,  buy ,  emi 
(ademi,  exemi),  comps!,  dempsi,  prompsi,  sumpsi.

The  Verb :  Present  Stem. 


[824-829. 


FORMATION  OF  STEMS. 


VARIABLE  VOWEL. 

824.  The  final  vowel  of  a  tense  stem  is  said  to  be  variable 
when  it  is  -o-  in  some  of  the  forms,  and  -u-,  -e-,  or  -i-  in 
others. 

825.  The  sign  for  the  variable  vowel  is  -o|e. :  thus,  rego|e-,  which  may 
be  read  ‘rego-  or  rege-,’  represents  rego-  or  regu-,  rege-  or  regi-, 
as  seen  in  rego-r  or  regu-nt,  rege-re  or  regi-t. 

826.  The  variable  vowel  occurs  in  the  present  of  verbs  in  -ere,  except 
in  the  subjunctive,  in  the  future  in  -b5  or  -bor,  and  in  the  future  perfect, 
as  may  be  seen  in  the  paradigms.  It  is  usually  short ;  but  in  the  active,  o 
is  long :  as,  reg5,  laudabo,  laudavero ;  and  poets  rarely  lengthen  i  in  the 
second  and  third  person  singular  of  the  present.  For  the  future  perfect, 
see  882. 

827.  In  old  Latin,  the  stem  vowel  of  the  third  person  plural  of  the  present  was 
o:  as,  cosentiont;  o  was  long  retained  after  v,  u,  or  qu  (112)  :  as,  vivont, 
ruont,  sequontur ;  or,  if  o  was  not  retained,  qu  became  c  :  as,  secuntur.

PRESENT  INDICATIVE  STEM. 

I.  Primitives. 

(A.)  ROOT  VERBS. 

828.  A  root  without  addition  is  used  as  the  present  stem,  in  the 
present  tense  or  parts  of  the  present  tense,  in  root  verbs  (744-781)  : 
as, 

es-t,  is;  da- 1,  gives ;  inqui-t,  quoth  he  ;  i-t,  goes;  nequi-t,  can't ;  es-t, 
eats ;  vol-t,  will ;  fer-t,  carries.  With  reduplicated  root  (189) :  bibi-t,  drinks; 
seri-t,  sows  ;  sisti-t,  sets. 

(B.)  VERBS  IN  -ere. 

829.  (1.)  The  present  stem  of  many  verbs  in  -ere  is  formed 
by  adding  a  variable  vowel  -°|e_,  which  appears  in  the  first  per¬ 
son  singular  active  as  -o,  to  a  root  ending  in  a  consonant  or  in 


two  consonants :  as,

creep  ;  pend5,  hang ;  died,  say,  fido,  trust,  scribo,  7 vrile,  with  long  1  for  ei 
(88) ;  duco,  lead,  with  long  u  for  eu,  ou  (82)  ;  lud5,  play,  with  long  u  for  oi, 
oe  (87);  laedo,  hit,  claudo,  shut;  rado,  scrape,  cedo,  move  along,  ilgo,fix, 
r5dd,  gnaw,  glubo,  peel.  *furo,  rave;  ago,  drive,  alo,  nurture,  gigno,  beget 
(gen-,  gn-),  has  reduplication,  and  sido,  settle,  light  (s  e  d-,  sd-),  is  also 
the  result  of  an  ancient  reduplication  (189). 

830.  In  some  present  stems  an  original  consonant  has  been  modified: 
as,  gero,  carry  (ges-),  uro,  burn  (116);  traho,  draw  (tragh-),  veho, 
cart  ( 1 1 7 )  ;  or  has  disappeared:  as,  fluo,  flow  (flugu-). 

831.  Some  roots  in  a  mute  have  a  nasal  before  the  mute  in  the  present 
stem:  as,  frango,  break  (frag-).  Other  examples  are:  iungo,  join,  lin- 
quo,  leave,  pango,  fix,  pingo,  paint ;  findo,  cleave,  fundo,  pour  ;  -cumbo, 
lie,  lambo,  lick,  rumpo,  break  (148).  The  nasal  sometimes  runs  over  into 
the  perfect  or  perfect  participle,  or  both. 

832.  (2.)  T  he  present  stem  of  many  verbs  in  -ere  is  formed 
by  adding  a  suffix:  ending  in  a  variable  vowel  -°|e-,  which  ap¬ 
pears  in  the  first  person  singular  active  as  -o,  to  a  root :  thus,

So  regularly  lino,  besmear,  sino,  let ;  temno,  scorn,  cerno,  sift,  sperno, 
spurn,  only.  Occasionally  such  forms  are  found  in  old  Latin  from  other  roots,  mostly 
in  the  third  person  plural:  as,  danunt  (Naev.,  Plaut.),  prodinunt,  redlnunt,  for 
prodeunt,  redeunt  (Enn.).  In  a  few  verbs,  -n  is  assimilated  (146) :  as,  tollo,  lift. 
Sometimes  the  doubled  1  runs  into  the  perfect  (855):  as,  veil!,  fefelli.  minuo, 
lessen ,  and  sternuo,  sneeze ,  have  a  longer  suffix  -nuo|e-. 

834.  ( b .)  -sco,  usually  meaning  ''begin  to?  forms  presents  called 
Inceptives  or  Inchoatives. 

-sco  is  attached:  first,  to  roots:  as,  nascor,  am  born,  nosed,  learn,  pasco, 
feed ,  seised,  resolve ;  consonant  roots  have  i,  less  commonly  e,  before  the  suffix  :  as, 
tremisco  or  tremesco,  fall  a-trembling,  nanciscor,  get  (831) ;  but  disco, 
learn  (die-),  and  posed,  demand  (pore-),  are  shortened  (134).  Secondly,  to  a 
form  of  the  present  stem  of  denominative  verbs,  especially  of  those  in  -ere:  as, 
clarescd,  brighten ;  the  stem  is  often  assumed  only,  as  in  inveterasco,  grow 
old,  maturesed,  get  ripe.  Many  inceptives  are  used  only  in  composition :  as, 
extimesco,  get  scared ,  obdormisco,  drop  asleep. 

835-  (0.)  -to  occurs  in  the  following  presents  from  guttural  roots:  flecto, 
turn,  necto,  string,  pecto  comb,  plector,  am  struck ,  amplector,  hug,  com- 
plector,  clasp.  From  a  lingual  root  v  i  d-,  comes  viso,  go  to  see,  call  on  (153). 
From  vowel  roots:  beto  or  bito,  go,  and  meto,  mow.

throw ,  pario,  bring  forth,  quatio,  shake,  rapid,  seize,  sapid,  have  sense,  and  their 
compounds;  the  compounds  of  *lacio,  lure,  and  specio  or  spicio,  spy,  and  the 
deponents  gradior,  step,  morior,  die,  and  patior,  suffer,  and  their  compounds.  For 
occasional  forms  like  those  of  verbs  in  -Ire  (or  -Iri),  see  791.  For  aid,  see  786;  for 
fid,  788. 

837.  A  few  present  stems  are  formed  by  adding  a  variable  vowel  -o|e_, 
for  an  older  -i°  |e-,  to  a  vowel  root :  as, 

ruo,  tumble  down,  rui-s,  rui-t,  rui-mus,  rui-tis,  ruu-nt  (97).  Vowel 
roots  in  -a-,  -e-,  or  -I-  have  a  present  stem  like  that  of  denominatives :  as,  sto, 
stand,  sta-s,  sta-t,  sta-mus,  sta-tis,  sta-nt ;  fled,  weep ,  fle-s,  fle-t,  fle- 
mus,  fle-tis,  fle-nt ;  neo,  spin,  has  once  neu-nt  for  ne-nt  (Tib.)  ;  sci5,  know,- 
scl-s,  sci-t,  sci-mus,  sci-tis,  sciu-nt. 

838.  Most  present  stems  formed  by  adding  the  suffix  -io  to  a  root  end¬ 
ing  in  -1-,  -r-,  or  -n-,  and  all  formed  by  adding  -id  to  a  long  syllable,  have 
the  form  of  denominatives  in  -Ire  in  the  present  system:  as,  salio,  leap,  sa- 
llre,  aperio,  open,  aperlre,  venio,  come ,  venire  ;  farcio,  cram,  farcire. 


II.  Denominatives. 


839-  The  present  stem  of  denominatives  is  formed  by  attach¬ 
ing  a  variable  vowel  "°|e-,  for  an  older  -i°je-,  to  a  theme  consist¬ 
ing  of  a  noun  stem  :  as, 


Uncontracted  Present  Stem. 

cenaole- 

floreo|e- 

vestio|e- 

acuole- 


Verb. 
ceno,  dine 
floreo,  blossom 
vestio,  dress 
acuo,  point 


From  Theme. 
cena- 
flore- 
vesti- 
acu- 


The  noun  stem  ending  is  often  slightly  modified  in  forming  the  theme :  thus, 
laud-  becomes  lauda-  in  laudo  for  *lauda-o,  and  flor-  becomes  flore-  in 
flore-o. 

840.  In  most  of  the  forms,  the  final  vowel  of  the  theme  is  con¬ 
tracted  with  the  variable  vowel:  as, 

laudo,  lauda-s,  lauda-mus,  lauda-tis  ;  mone-s,  mone-mus,  mone-tis  ; 
audl-s,  audi-mus,  audl-tis  (i65).  The  long  a,  e,  or  I,  is  usually  short¬ 
ened  in  some  of  the  forms,  as  may  be  seen  in  the  paradigms.  In  a  few 
forms  no  contraction  occurs:  as,  moneo,  audio,  audiu-nt,  audie-ntis, 
&c.,  audie-ndus,  &c.  (97).  Denominatives  from  stems  in  -u-,  as  acuo, 
are  not  contracted,  and  so  have  the  forms  of  verbs  in  -ere  (367). 


PRESENT  SUBJUNCTIVE. 

841.  The  suffix  of  the  present  subjunctive  of  sum,  am,  is  -I-,  which  becomes  -i-  . 
in  some  of  the  persons :  si-m,  si-s,  si-t,  sl-mus,  sl-tis,  si-nt.  So  also  in  the 
singular  and  in  the  third  person  plural,  dui-m,  &c.  (756),  and  edi-m,  &c.  (769),  and 
in  all  the  persons,  veli-m,  &c.  (noli-m,  &c.,  mali-m,  &c.).  An  old  suffix  is  -ie- 
(-ie-),  in  sie-m,  sie-s,  sie-t,  and  sie-nt.

842.  (1.)  The  present  subjunctive  stem  of  verbs  in  -ere, 
-ere,  and  -Ire,  ends  in  -a-,  which  becomes  -a-  in  some  of  the 
persons ;  this  suffix  replaces  the  variable  vowel  of  the  indica¬ 
tive  :  as, 

rega-m,  rega-s,  rega-t,  rega-mus,  rega-tis,  rega-nt  ;  capia-m, 
capia-s,  &c. ;  monea-m,  monea-s,  &c;  audia-m,  audia-s,  &c.  ea-m, 
quea-m,  fera-m,  and  the  old  fua-m  (750),  also  have  the  formative  sub¬ 
junctive  vowel. 

843.  (2.)  T  he  present  subjunctive  stem  of  verbs  in  -are  ends 
in  -e-,  which  becomes  -e-  in  some  of  the  persons  :  as, 

laude-m,  laude-s,  laude-t,  laude-mus,  laude-tis,  laude-nt.  d5,  give , 
also  has  de-m,  de-s,  &c. 

IMPERATIVE. 

844.  Root  verbs  have  a  root  as  imperative  stem  (745-780) :  as,  es,  &c., 
fer,  &c.  But  the  imperative  of  nolo  has  a  stem  in  -I-,  like  verbs  in  -ire :  thus, 
noli,  ndli-t5,  noli-te,  noli-tote. 

845-  The  imperative  stem  of  verbs  in  -ere,  and  of  verbs  in 
-are,  -ere,  and  -ire,  is  the  same  as  that  of  the  indicative :  as, 

rege,  regi-to,  regu-ntd,  rege-re  ;  cape,  capi-to,  capiu-nt5;  fi;  lauda, 
&c.  ;  mone,  &c  ;  audi,  &c. 

846.  The  second  person  singular  imperative  active  of  dico,  duco,  and 
facio,  is  usually  die,  due,  and  fac,  respectively,  though  the  full  forms,  dice, 
&c.,  are  also  used,  and  are  commoner  in  old  Latin.  Compounds  of  dued 
may  have  the  short  form  :  as,  educ.  ingero  has  once  inger  (Catull.).  scio 
has  regularly  the  singular  sci-td,  plural  sci-t5te,  rarely  sci-te. 

IMPERFECT  INDICATIVE. 

847.  The  imperfect  indicative  stem  ends  in  -ba-,  which  be¬ 
comes  -ba-  in  some  of  the  persons  :  as, 

daba-m,  daba-s,  daba-t,  daba-mus,  daba-tis,  daba-nt ;  iba-m ; 
qulba-m.  In  verbs  in  -ere  and  -ere,  the  suffix  is  preceded  by  a  form 
ending  in -e- :  as,  regeba-m  ;  moneba-m;  so  also  voleba-m  (noleba-m, 
maleba-m),  and  fereba-m  ;  in  verbs  in  -id,  -ere,  and  in  -id,  -ire,  by  a  form 
ending  in  -ie- :  as,  capieba-m  ;  audieba-m  ;  in  verbs  in  -are,  by  one  end¬ 
ing  in  -a-  :  as,  laudaba-m.  Inverse,  verbs  in  -Ire  sometimes  have  -I-  before 
the  suffix  (Plaut.,  Ter.,  Catull.,  Lucr.,  Verg.,  &c.) :  as,  audiba-t.  aid,  soy , 
has  sometimes  aiba-m,  &c.  (787) 

848.  1  he  suffix  of  the  imperfect  indicative  of  sum,  oin,  is  -a-,  which  becomes  -a- 
in  some  of  the  persons;  the  s  becomes  r  between  the  vowels  (116) :  era-m,  era-s, 

era-t,  era-mus,  era-tis,  era-nt. 


IMPERFECT  SUBJUNCTIVE. 

849.  The  imperfect  subjunctive  stem  ends  in  -re-,  which  be¬ 
comes  -re-  in  some  of  the  persons  :  as,

The  Verb:  Perfect  Stem. 


dare-m,  dare-s,  dare-t,  dare-mus,  dare-tis,  dare-nt ;  ire-m,  fore-m, 
ferre-m.  In  verbs  in  -ere,  the  -re-  is  preceded  by  a  form  ending  in  -e-  :  as, 
regere-m,  capere-m ;  in  verbs  in  -are,  -ere,  and  -ire,  by  one  ending  in  -a-, 
-e-,  or -i-,  respectively :  as,  laudare-m,  monere-m,  audlre-m. 

850.  The  suffix,  of  the  imperfect  subjunctive  of  sum,  am,  is  -se-,  which 
becomes  -se-  in  some  of  the  persons;  esse-m,  esse-s,  esse-t,  esse-mus, 
esse-tis,  esse-nt ;  so  also  esse-s,  &c.  (769).  volo,  wish ,  nolo,  won’t,  and. 
malo,  prefer,  have  velle-m,  nolle-m,  and  malle-m  respectively  (146). 


FUTURE. 

.  85i*  The  future  stem  of  sum,  am,  is  er°je-:  ero,  eri-s,  eri-t,  eri-mus, 
eri-tis,  eru-nt.  do  has  dab5,  eo  has  ibo,  and  queo  lias  quib5. 

852.  (1.)  The  future  stem  of  verbs  in  -ere  and  -ire  ends  in 
-a-  in  the  first  person  singular,  otherwise  in  -e-,  which  becomes 
-e-  in  some  of  the  persons  :  as, 

rega-m,  rege-s,  rege-t,  rege-mus,  rege-tis,  rege-nt;  capia-m, 
capie-s,  &c. ;  audia-m,  audie-s,  &c.  The  first  person  singular  is  not  a 
future  form,  but  the  subjunctive  present,  used  with  a  future  meaning  (842) ; 
an  old  form  in  -e-  is  also  quoted  :  dice-m,  facie-m  (Cato).  Verbs  in  -ire 
sometimes  have  -bole-,  chiefly  in  the  dramatists:  as,  scibo,  opperibo-r 
(Plaut.,  Ter.),  lenlbu-nt  (Prop.)  ;  rarely  verbs  in  -ere  (S19)  :  as,  exsugebo 
(Plaut.).  For  reddibd,  instead  of  the  usual  reddam,  see  757. 

853-  (»•)  The  future  stem  of  verbs  in  -are  and  -ere  ends  in 
-b°|e->  which  is  preceded  by  a  form  ending  in  long  -a-  or  -e- 
respectively  :  as, 

laudabd,  laudabi-s,  laudabi-t,  laudabi-mus,  laudabi-tis,  laudabu-nt. 
monebS,  monebi-s,  &c. 


II.  THE  PERFECT  SYSTEM. 

PERFECT  INDICATIVE  STEM. 

854-  There  are  two  kinds  of  perfect  stems  :  (A.)  Some  verbs 
have  as  perfect  stem  a  root,  generally  with  some  modification, 
but  without  a  suffix  (858-866).  (B.)  Some  perfects  are  formed 

with  a  suffix,  -s-,  or  -v-  or  -u-  (867-875). 

855.  Some  perfects  of  primitives  are  formed  not  from  a  root,  but  from  the  present 
stem  without  the  formative  vowel,  treated  as  a  root :  as,  prehendi,  seized,  from 
prehend-  (866) ;  poposci,  asked ,  fefelll,  deceived  (858)  ;  iunxi,  joined  (867). 

856.  The  first  person  of  the  perfect  ends  in  -i,  sometimes  written  ei 
(29).  -t,  -sti,  sometimes  written  -stei  (29),  -stis,  and  -mus  are  preceded 
by  short  i;  -re  is  always,  and  -runt  is  usually,  preceded  by  long  e:  as, 

rexi,  rexi-sti,  rexi-t,  rexi-mus,  rexi-stis,  rexe-runt  (rexe-runt),  or 
rexe-re. 

5*

857-862.] 


Words :  Inflection . 


857.  Sometimes  -t  is  preceded  by  long  i:  as,  iit,  petiit,  redieit  (29). 
-runt  is  sometimes  preceded  by  short  e  (Plaut.,  Ter.,  Lucr.,  Hor.,  Ov., 
Verg.,  Phaedr.). 

(A.)  PERFECT  STEM  WITHOUT  A  SUFFIX. 

858.  (1.)  Some  verbs  in  -ere  form  their  perfect  stem  by 
prefixing  to  the  root  its  initial  consonant  with  the  following 
vowel,  which,  if  a,  is  usually  represented  by  e  ;  this  is  called  the 
Reduplicated  Perfect ,  and  the  first  syllable  is  called  the  Redu¬ 
plication  :  as, 

Perfect  Stem.  Verb.  From  Theme. 

pu-pug-  pungd,  punch  p  u  g- 

pe-pig-  pangS,  fix  pag- 

Other  examples  are  :  cadS,  fall,  cecidi  (ca  d-,  74)  ;  pariS,  bring  forth , 
peperl  (par-,  73)  ;  pellS,  push ,  pepuli  (p  ol-,  75) ;  poscS,  demand ,  poposcl 
(855) ;  falls,  deceive ,  fefelli(855,  73) ;  see  also  923-932.  caedS,  cut,  has  cecidi 
(86) ;  and  a  few  old  forms  are  quoted  from  verbs  having  an  o  or  an  u  in 
the  root  with  e  in  the  reduplication:  as,  memordl,  pepugi. 

859.  Four  verbs  with  vowel  roots  also  have  a  reduplicated  perfect  stem  : 
dS,  give,  put ,  dare,  dedi ;  bibS,  drink,  bibere,  bibl ;  stS,  stand ,  stare,  stetl, 
and  sistS,  set,  sistere,  — stiti,  rarely  stiti.  Also  four  verbs  in  -ere  :  mordeS, 
bite,  momordl,  pendeS,  hang,  pependi,  spondeS,  promise,  spopondl,  ton- 
deS,  clip,  -totondl.  In  the  root  syllable  of  spopondl,  promised,  stetl,  stood, 
Stiti,  set,  and  the  old  scicidi,  clove,  an  s  is  dropped  (133). 

860.  In  compounds  the  reduplication  is  commonly  dropped  ;  as, 

cecidi,  fell ,  compound  concidi,  tumbled  down.  Compounds  of  cucurri,  ran, 
sometimes  retain  the  reduplication  :  as,  prScucurri.  Compounds  of  bibl,  drank, 
didici,  learned ,  poposcl,  asked,  stiti,  set,  stetl,  stood,  and  dedi ,  gave,  put,  retain 
it,  the  last  two  weakening  e  to  i  :  as,  restiti,  staid  back,  abscondidi,  hid  away , 
usually  becomes  abscondl ;  in  apparent  compounds,  e  is  usually  retained  :  as,  circum 
Stetl,  stood  round,  venum  dedi,  put  for  sale.  The  reduplication  is  also  lost  in 
the  simple  verbs  tuli,  carried ,  old  tetuli,  and  in  scindS,  split,  scidi,  which  last 
is  rare  as  a  simple  verb. 

861.  Some  compounds  with  re-  drop  only  the  vowel  of  the  reduplication  (95) : 
as,  reccidi,  fell  back ;  rettuli,  brought  back,  also  retuli ;  repperi,  found;  ret- 
tudi,  beat  back.  Some  perfects  occur  only  in  composition  :  as,  percello,  knock  down , 
perculi ;  contundS,  smash  to  pieces,  contudi ;  difhndd,  split  apart,  diffidi; 
but  fidi  also  occurs  a  couple  of  times  as  a  simple  verb. 

862.  (2.)  Some  verbs  in  -ere  have  a  perfect  stem  consisting 
of  a  consonant  root  with  a  long  vowel :  as, 

Perfect  Stem.  Verb.  From  Theme. 

ed-  edd,  eat  e  d-

Other  examples  are  :  fodiS,  dig,  fodi ;  fundo,  pour,  fudl ;  linquS,  leave , 
liqui;  see  936-946.  Three  verbs  in  -ere  also  have  this  form,  sedeS,  sit, 
sedi,  strides,  grate,  stridi,  videS,  see,  vidi ;  and  one  in  -Ire,  veniS,  come, 
veni.

ago,  do,  egl,  frangS,  break ,  fregl,  pango,  fix ,  rarely  peg!,  but  always 
compegl,  impegl,  oppegl;  capio,  take,  cepi,  facid,  make ,  feci,  iacid, 
throw ,  ieci.  So  also  the  old  co-epl,  began ,  common  coepi. 

864.  Two  verbs  in  -are  and  some  in  -ere  have  a  perfect  stem  consisting  of  a  root 
which  ends  in  -v-  and  has  a  long  vowel  :  iuv5,  help ,  iuvare,  itivl,  lav5,  wash , 
lavare  or  lavere,  lavl;  caveo,  look  out ,  cavere,  cavi;  see  996. 

865.  Verbs  in  -uo,  -uere,  both  primitives  and  denominatives,  have  usually  a  per¬ 
fect  stem  in  short  u  of  the  theme  (57):  as,  luo,  pay ,  lui ;  acuo,  sharpen ,  acul: 
see  947,  948.  Forms  with  long  u  are  old  and  rare  (58)  :  as,  fui,  adnui,  constitul, 
Institul.  flu5 ,  flow,  and  sixvio,  pile,  have  flux!  and  struxi  (830). 

866.  (3.)  Some  verbs  in  -ere  from  roots  ending  in  two  con¬ 
sonants  have  a  perfect  stem  consisting  of  the  root :  as,

875*  Very  few  verbs  have  a  perfect  stem  in  -u-  formed  from  a  noun  stem : 
as,  maturescd,  get  ripe,  maturui  (maturo-);  nigresco,  get  black,  nigrui 
(nigro-). 


PERFECT  SUBJUNCTIVE. 

876.  The  perfect  subjunctive  stem  ends  in  -erl-,  for  which 
-eri-  is  sometimes  used  :  as, 

rexeri-m,  rexeri-s,  rexeri-t,  rexerl-mus,  rexeri-tis,  rexeri-nt.

The  Verb :  Perfect  Stem. 


[877-886. 


877.  la  the  perfect  subjunctive,  long  i  is  found  before  the  person  endings 
-s,  -mus,  and  -tis,  some  25  times,  as  follows:  -is,  18  times  (Plaut.  3,  Pac., 
Enn.,  Ter.,  Hor.,  Tib.,  Sen.,  inscr.,  once  each,  Ov.  8),  -imus,  4  times 
(Plaut.  3,  Ter.  1),  -itis,  3  times  (Plaut.  2,  Enn.  1). 

878.  In  the  perfect  subjunctive,  short  i  is  found,  as  in  the  future  perfect,  some  9 
times,  thus:  -is,  8  times  (Plaut.  in  anapests  3,  Verg.  2,  Hor.  3),  -imus  once 
(Verg.).  But  before  -tis,  short  i  is  not  found. 

PERFECT  IMPERATIVE. 

879.  One  verb  only,  memini,  remember ,  has  a  perfect  imperative  ;  in  this 
imperative,  the  person  endings  are  not  preceded  by  a  vowel,  thus  :  memen-t5, 
memen-tote. 

PLUPERFECT  INDICATIVE. 

880.  The  pluperfect  indicative  stem  ends  in  -era-,  which  be¬ 
comes  -era-  in  some  of  the  persons  :  as, 

rexera-m,  rexera-s,  rexera-t,  rexera-mus,  rexera-tis,  rexera-nt. 

PLUPERFECT  SUBJUNCTIVE. 

881.  The  pluperfect  subjunctive  stem  ends  in  -isse-,  which 
becomes  -isse-  in  some  of  the  persons :  as, 

rexisse-m,  rexisse-s,  rexisse-t,  rexisse-mus,  rexisse-tis,  rexisse-nt. 

FUTURE  PERFECT. 

882.  The  future  perfect  stem  ends  in  -ero-  and  -eri- :  as, 

rexerS,  rexeri-s,  rexeri-t,  rexeri-mus,  rexeri-tis,  rexeri-nt. 

883.  In  the  future  perfect,  short  i  is  found  before  the  person  endings 
-s,  -mus,  and  -tis,  some  40  times,  as  follows  :  -is,  29  times  (Plaut.  2,  Cic.  r, 
Catull.  1,  Verg.  7.  Hor.  12,  Ov.  4,  Germ.  1,  Juv.  1);  -imus,  3  times  (Plaut., 
Ter.,  Lucr.) ;  -itis,  8  times  (Enn.  1,  Plaut.  5,  Ov.  2). 

884.  In  the  future  perfect,  long  i  is  found,  as  in  the  perfect  subjunctive,  some 
33  times,  thus:  -is,  28  times  (Plaut.  3,  Hor.  5,  Ov.  15,  Prop.,  Stat.,  Mart.,  Priap., 
inscr.,  once  each),  -imus,  once  (Catull.),  -itis,  4  times  (Ov.  3,  Priap.  1). 


SHORT  OR  OLD  FORMS. 

885.  (I.)  Some  shorter  forms  in  the  perfect  system  are  prin¬ 
cipally  found  in  old  Latin. 

886.  (a.)  Shorter  forms  in  the  perfect  indicative,  the  pluperfect  sub¬ 
junctive,  and  the  infinitive,  most  of  them  from  perfects  in  -s-  (867),  occur 
chiefly  in  verse  :  thus, 

Perfect  indicative,  second  person  singular,  common  :  as,  dixti  (Plaut.,  Ter.,  Cic.) ; 
plural,  rare:  as,  accestis  (Verg.).  Pluperfect  subjunctive  singular,  not  very  com¬ 
mon:  as,  exstinxem  (Verg.),  intellexes  (Plaut.),  vixet  (Verg.);  plural,  once 
only,  erepsemus  (Hor.).  Infinitive,  dlxe  (Plaut.),  ednsumpse  (Lucr.).

887-893.] 


Words:  Inflection. 


887.  ( b .)  A  perfect  subjunctive  stem  in  -si-  or  in  -ssl-,  and  a  future  per¬ 
fect  indicative  stem  in  -so|e-  or  in  -sso|e-,  occur  chiefly  in  old  laws  and 
prayers,  and  in  dramatic  verse :  as, 

Perfect  subjunctive:  faxim,  faxls,  faxseis  (inscr.  145  b.c.),  faxit,  faximus, 
faxitis,  faxint;  ausim,  ausls,  ausit ;  locassim,  amassls,  servassit, 
amassint,  prohibessis,  prohibessit,  cohibessit,  licessit. 

Future  perfect  indicative :  fax5,  faxis,  faxit,  faxitis,  caps5,  recepso,  iuss5, 
occisit,  capsimus ;  levasso,  invltassitis,  mulcassitis,  exoculassitis, 
prohibessis,  prohibessint.  Denominatives  in  -are  have  also,  in  old  Latin,  a 
future  perfect  infinitive  :  as,  impetrassere. 

888.  Passive  inflections,  as  future  perfect  faxitur,  turbassitur,  deponent 
mercassitvr  (inscr.  hi  b.c.),  are  very  rare;  and,  indeed,  with  the  exception  of 
faxo  and  ausim,  even  the  active  forms  had  become  antiquated  by  150  B.c.  De¬ 
nominatives  in  -Ire  never  have  the  above  formations.  But  ambio,  canvass ,  is 
thought  to  have  a  future  perfect  amblssit  twice  (Plaut.  prol.). 

889.  (2.)  Shortened  forms  from  perfect  stems  formed  by  the 
suffix  -v-  (869)  are  very  common  in  all  periods. 

890.  (a.)  In  tenses  formed  from  perfect  stems  in  -av-,  -ev-,  and 
-ov-,  v  is  often  dropped  before  -is-,  -er-,  or  -er-,  and  the  vowels  thus 
brought  together  are  contracted  :  as, 

laudavistl,  laudasti ;  laudavistis,  laudastis  ;  laudaverunt,  laudarunt 
(but  the  form  in  -re,  as  laudavere,  is  never  contracted) ;  laudaverim, 
laudarim,  &c. ;  laudaveram,  laudaram,  &c. ;  laudavissem,  laudassem, 

&c. ;  laudavero,  laudaro,  &c. ;  laudavisse,  laudasse. 

% 

-plevisti, -plesti ;  -plevistis,  -plestis  ;  -pleverunt,  -plerunt;  pleve- 
rim,  -plerim,  &c. ;  -pleveram,  -pleram,  &c. ;  -plevissem,  -plessem, 
&c. ;  -pleverb,  -plerb,  &c. ;  -plevisse,  -plesse. 

novisti,  nosti ;  novistis,  nbstis;  nbverunt,  norunt;  nbverim,  no¬ 
rim,  &c. ;  nbveram,  noram,  &c. ;  novissem,  nossem,  &c. ;  novero 
always  retains  the  v,  but  cognoro,  &c. ;  novisse,  nosse. 

891.  The  verbs  in  which  v  is  not  a  suffix,  but  belongs  to  the  root  (864),  are  not 
thus  shortened,  except  moveo,  mostly  in  compounds,  iuvo.  however,  has  iuerint 
(Catull.),  adiuerb  (Enn.),  once  each,  and  twice  adiuerit  (Plaut.,  Ter.). 

892.  Contractions  in  the  perfect  before  -t  and  -mus  are  rare :  as,  inritat, 

disturbat ;  suemus  or  submus  (Lucr.),  nomus  (Enn.),  consuemus  (Prop.). 

893.  (i.)  In  tenses  formed  from  perfect  stems  in  -iv-,  v  is  often 
dropped  before  -is-,  -er-,  or  -er- ;  but  contraction  is  common  only 
in  the  forms  which  have  -is-  :  as, 

audlvisti,  audlsti ;  audlvistis,  audlstis  ;  audiverunt,  audierunt ; 
audlverim,  audierim,  &c. ;  audiveram,  audieram,  &c. ;  audlvissem, 
audlssem,  &c. ;  audivero,  audierb,  &c. ;  audlvisse,  audisse.  Sometimes 
audil,  audiit,  audit.  Intermediate  between  the  long  and  the  short  forms 
are  audieras  and  audierit,  once  each  (Ter.).  In  the  perfect  subjunctive, 
sino  has  slverls  (Plaut.,  Cato),  slris  (Plaut.,  Cato,  Liv.),  sireis  (Pac.),  or 
seiris  (Plaut.),  slrit  (Plaut.,  Liv.),  slritis  (Plaut.),  siverint  (Plaut.,  Curt.), 
sierint  (Cic.,  Curt.),  or  sirint  (Plaut.).  desino  is  thought  to  have  desimus 
in  the  perfect  indicative  a  couple  of  times  (Sen.,  Plin.  Ep.).

The  Verb  :  Nouns  of  the  Verb .  [894-901. 


NOUNS  OF  THE  VERB. 

INFINITIVE.  4 

894.  The  active  infinitive  has  the  ending  -re  in  the  present, 
and  -isse  in  the  perfect :  as, 

dare  ;  regere,  capere  ;  laudare,  monere,  audire.  rexisse  ;  laudavisse 
or  laudasse,  monuisse,  audivisse  or  audisse. 

.  895.  For  -re  in  old  Latin,  see  65.  The  infinitive  of  fio,  become ,  ends  in  -ri, 
fieri,  which  is  not  a  passive  form ;  twice  fiere  (Enn.,  Laev.).  An  older  form  for  -re 
is  -se,  found  in  esse,  to  be ,  esse,  to  eat ,  and  their  compounds.  For  velle,  to  wish 
(malle,  nSlle),  see  146.  In  the  perfect,  ed,  go,  sometimes  has  -iisse  in  compounds 
(766),  and  in  poetry,  pet5,  go  to,  has  rarely  petiisse. 

896.  The  present  infinitive  passive  of  verbs  in  -ere  has 
the  ending  -i ;  that  of  other  verbs  has  -ri :  as, 

regi,  capi;  laudari,  moneri,  audiri.  fero,  carry \  has  ferri.  The  length 
of  the  i  is  sometimes  indicated  by  the  spelling  ei  (29) :  as,  darei. 

897.  A  longer  form  in  -ier  for  -I,  and  -rier  for  -ri,  is  common  in  old  laws 
and  dramatic  verse,  and  occurs  sometimes  in  other  poetry:  as,  figier,  to  be  posted, 
Gnoscier,  to  be  read  (inscr.  186  B.c.)  ;  dicier,  to  be  said ,  Curarier,  to  be  looked 
after  (Plaut. ) ;  dominarier,  to  be  lord paramotint  (Verg. ). 

898.  The  place  of  the  perfect  passive,  future  active,  and  future  passive  infinitive 
is  supplied  by  a  circumlocution,  as  seen  in  the  paradigms.  For  the  future  perfect 
-assere,  see  887. 

GERUNDIVE  AND  GERUND. 

899.  T  he  gerundive  stem  is  formed  by  adding  -ndo-,  nom¬ 
inative  -ndus,  -nda,  -ndum,  to  the  present  stem  :  as, 

dandus,  stem  dando-  ;  regendus,  capiendus  ;  laudandus,  monendus, 
audiendus.  Verbs  in  -ere  and  -ire  often  have  -undus,  when  not  preceded 
by  u  or  v,  especially  in  formal  style:  as,  capiundus ;  e5,  go,  always  has 
eundum,  and  orior,  rise,  oriundus.  For  the  adjective  use,  see  288.  The 
gerund  is  like  the  oblique  cases  of  the  neuter  singular.  For  -bundus,  see 
289 ;  -cundus,  290. 

SUPINE. 

900.  The  supine  stem  is  formed  by  the  suffix  -tu-,  which 
is  often  changed  to  -su-  (912). 

This  suffix  is  attached  to  a  root  or  to  a  form  of  the  present  stem  after 
the  manner  of  the  perfect  participle  (906) :  as,  nuntiatum,  to  report,  nun- 
tiatu,  in  reporting,  stem  nuntiatu-.  Many  of  the  commonest  verbs  have 
no  supine:  as,  sum,  ed,  fero;  rego,  emo,  tego;  amd,  deled,  doceo, 
&c.,  See. 

PRESENT  PARTICIPLE. 

901.  The  present  participle  stem  is  formed  by  adding  -nt- 
or  -nti-,  nominative  -ns,  to  the  present  stem  :  as, 

dans,  giving,  stems  dant-,  danti-  ;  regens,  capiens  ;  laudans,  monens, 
audiens.

902-910.] 


Words:  Inflection . 


902.  The  adjective  sontem  (accusative,  no  nominative),  which  was  originally  the 
participle  of  sum,  has  o  before  the  suffix,  and  absens  and  praesens  have  e;  the 
participle  of  eo  has  e  in  the  nominative  singular,  otherwise  u,  iens,  euntis,  &c. 
n  rarely  drops  before  -s  ( 1 3 1 )  :  as,  libes  (inscr.),  exsultas  (Enn.),  animas  (Lucr.). 

903.  Some  adjectives  which  were  originally  present  participles  have  no  verb:  as, 
Clemens,  merciful,  elegans,  choice,  evidens,  clear ,  frequens,  thick,  petulans, 
wanton ,  recens,/r<f^,  repens,  sudden ,  &c.,  &c.  For  potens,  fowerfid,  see  922. 

FUTURE  PARTICIPLE. 

904.  The  future  participle  suffix  is  -turo-,  nominative  -turus, 
-tura,  -turum,  which  is  often  changed  to  -suro-,  nominative 
-surus,  -sura,  -surum  (912). 

This  suffix  is  added  to  a  theme  after  the  manner  of  the  perfect  participle 
(906)  :  as,  recturus,  going  to  guide  ;  laudaturus,  going  to  praise. 

905.  Some  future  participles  have  a  different  formation  from  that  of  the  perfect 
participle  :  as,  mortuus,  dead ,  moriturus  ;  see  also  in  the  dictionary  arguo, 
fruor,  orior,  ru5,  seed.  And  some  verbs  have  two  forms  of  the  future  participle: 
as,  agndsco,  lgndscd,  haurio,  iuv5,  pari5.  Some  verbs  which  have  no  per¬ 
fect  participle  have  a  future  participle  :  as,  acquiesco,  appareo,  ardeo,  caleo, 
cared,  doled,  esurio,  fugio,  haereo,  incido,  iaceo,  -nuo,  pared,  raucio, 
recido,  sono,  sto,  valeo. 

PERFECT  PARTICIPLE. 

go6.  The  perfect  participle  suffix  is  -to-,  nominative  -tus, 
-ta,  -turn,  which  is  often  changed  to  -so-,  nominative  -sus, 
-sa,  -sum  (912). 

go7.  The  perfect  participle  was  originally  active  as  well  as  passive,  and 
some  participles  have  retained  the  active  meaning  :  as, 

adultus,  grown  up ;  emersus,  rising  out  from;  exosus,  perosus,  hating 
bitterly ;  placitus,  engaging;  iuratus,  sworn ,  coniuratus,  conspiring ;  pran- 
SUS,  having  lunched ,  cenatus,  having  dined,  potus,  drunk,  &c.  The  perfect 
participles  of  deponents  are  usually  active,  but  sometimes  passive:  as,  meditatus, 
having  studied ,  or  studied.  Many  verbs  are  not  accompanied  by  a  perfect  participle 
( 8 1 1 ).  particularly  verbs  in  -ere,  with  a  parallel  adjective  in  -idus  (287).  Intran¬ 
sitive  verbs  have  usually  only  the  neuter.  A  perfect  active  participle  meminens  is 
said  to  have  been  used  twice  (Plaut.,  Laev.). 

908.  The  perfect  participle  is  formed  in  one  of  two  separate 
ways : 

909.  (1  .)  From  a  theme  consisting  of  a  root ;  in  this  way  the  par¬ 
ticiples  of  most  verbs  in  -ere  and  -ere  are  formed :  as, 

gestus,  carried ,  aptus,  fit,  solutus,  loosed  (113),  iunctus,  joined  (831), 
sparsus,  sprinkled  ( 136) ;  doctus,  taught. 

910.  In  some  consonant  root  participles  of  verbs  in  -ere,  -are,  or  -ere, 
which  have  the  suffix  -u-  in  the  perfect  stem  (873),  the  -to-  is  preceded  by 
a  short  i:  as,  genitus,  born  (971-976);  domitus,  tamed  (993);  monitus, 
warned  (1003, 1004, 1009).  In  old  Latin,  e  occurs  :  as,  mereta  (inscr.) ;  e  is 
retained  in  vegetus,  sprightly.  One  participle  has  -tuo-  :  mortuus,  dead. 

144 


The  Verb  :  Nouns  of  the  Verb.  [91 1-9 19* 


gil.  Some  verbs  in  -are  have  participles  from  consonant  roots:  as,  frictus, 
rubbed ,  frico,  fricare  ;  see  993.  Also  some  in  -ire  :  as,  fartus,  stuffed  (136), 
farcio,  farcire  ;  inMns,  propped,  fulcid,  fulcire  ;  see  1011-1015,  and  1017,  1019, 
1020. 

912.  With  some  roots  in  -d-  or  -t-,  in  -1-,  -m-,  or  -r-,  and  a  few  others, 
-to-  becomes  -so-  (153)  :  as,  fossus,  dug ;  pulsus,  pushed ;  of  two  s’s  one  is 
often  dropped:  as,  divissus,  divided ,  commonly  divisus  ;  with  some  partici¬ 
ples  always:  as,  fisus,  trusting ;  and  regularly  when  the  root  ends  in  two 
consonants :  as,  vorsus  or  versus,  turned. 

913-  (“•)  From  a  theme  in  long  a  or  in  long  I;  in  this  way 
participles  are  regularly  formed  from  denominatives  in  -are  or  -Ire 
respectively  :  as, 

laudatus,  praised ;  auditus,  heard. 

914.  A  few  perfect  participles  of  verbs  in  -ere  are  formed  from  a  presumed  theme 
in  long  i,  or  long  e,  or  from  one  in  long  u. :  as,  petitus,  aimed  at;  exoletus, 
grown  out;  see  967-970;  tributus,  assigned;  see  947,  948. 

915.  (1.)  Many  perfect  participles  formed  from  consonant  roots 
have  a  short  root  vowel :  as, 

adspectus,  beheld ;  captus,  taken ;  coctus,  cooked;  commentus,  devis¬ 
ing ;  cultus,  tilled;  dictus,  said,  verb  dico ;  ductus,  led,  duco;  factus, 
made;  fossus,  dug;  gestus,  carried ;  inlectus,  allured;  questus,  complain¬ 
ing ;  raptus,  seized ;  tersus,  neat;  textus,  woven  ;  vorsus,  turned. 

916.  (2.)  Some  perfect  participles  formed  from  consonant  roots 
have  a  long  root  vowel,  sometimes  even  when  the  vowel  of  the  parallel 
present  stem  is  short:  as, 

fixus,  fastened,  verb  figo  ;  -flictus,  dashed,  -fligo  ;  pastus,  fed,  pasco ; 
polluctus,  offered  up,  polluceo  ;  scriptus,  written,  scribo  ;  ustus,  burnt, 
ur5.  Also  actus,  driven,  ago;  emptus,  bought,  emo;  fructus,  enjoying, 
fruor;  lectus,  culled,  lego;  pictus,  painted,  pingo  ;  rectus,  railed,  regQ ; 
relictus,  left,  relinquS ;  structus,  piled ,  struo ;  tectus,  covered,  tego ; 
unctus,  anointed,  unguo ;  victus,  conquered,  vinco ;  ultus,  avenging,  ulciscor. 
Furthermore,  iunctus,  joined,  iungS;  sanctus,  halloxued,  sanciS  (831); 
also,  functus,  having  performed,  fungor. 

917.  (I  .)  Most  perfect  participles  formed  from  vowel  roots  have 
a  long  root  vowel :  as, 

latus,  borne  (125);  natus,  born;  -pletus,  filled;  tritus,  worn;  notus, 
known ;  sutus,  sewed.  So  also  rutus,  but  only  in  the  law  phrase  ruta 
caesa,  or  ruta  et  caesa,  diggings  and  cuttings,  i.e.,  minerals  and  timber. 

918.  (2.)  Ten  perfect  participles  formed  from  vowel  roots  have 
a  short  root  vowel ;  they  are : 

citus,  datus,  hurried,  given  -rutus,  sains,  fallen,  planted 

itum,  ratus ,  gone,  thinking  situs,  status,  lying ,  set 

litus,  quitus,  besmeared,  been  able 

qiq.  As  citus,  so  always  percitus  and  incitus  (once  incitus,  doubtful);  usu¬ 
ally  concitus,  rarely  concitus;  excitus  and  excltus  equally  common;  always 
accitus.  ambitus  always  has  long  i  (763).  agnitus,  recognized ,  cognitus, 
biown,  and  the  adjectives  inclutus  or  inclitus,  of  high  renown ,  and  putus, 
clean ,  have  a  short  root  vowel.  For  defrutum,  defrutum,  see  62.

PART  SECOND  *  SENTENCES 


The  Simple  Sentence  and  its  Parts. 

« 

1023.  A  Sentence  is  a  thought  expressed  by  means  of  a 
verb.  The  Subject  is  that  which  is  spoken  of.  The  Predicate 
is  that  which  is  said  of  the  subject. 

1024.  A  Simple  Sentence  is  one  which  has 
only  one  subject  and  one  predicate. 

Thus,  Rhodanus  fluit,  the  Rhone  flows ,  is  a  simple  sentence:  the  subject 
is  Rhodanus  and  the  predicate  is  fluit. 

1025.  The  sentence  may  be  declarative,  stating  a  fact,  exclamatory,  crying 
out  about  something,  interrogative,  asking  a  question,  or  imperative,  giving  a 
command. 


The  Subject. 

1026.  The  subject  is  a  substantive,  or  any  word  or  words 
having  the  value  of  a  substantive. 

1027.  The  subject  of  a  verb  is  in  the  nominative 
case. 

1028.  The  subject  may  be  expressed,  or  may  be  merely  indicated 
by  the  person  ending. 

1029.  (1.)  With  the  first  or  the  second  person,  the  subject  is  expressed 
by  a  personal  pronoun  (ego  tu,  n5s  vos)  only  when  somewhat  emphatic,  or 
in  an  indignant  question.  Otherwise  the  verb  of  the  first  or  second  person 
is  not  attended  by  a  personal  pronoun:  as,  eram,  I  was,  eras,  thou  wert. 

1030.  The  subject  is  regularly  omitted  when  it  is  general  and  indefinite,  in  the 
first  person  plural;  as,  intellegimus,  we  understand ;  and  second  person  singular, 
as  :  putares,  you,  or  anybody  woidd  have  thought. 

1031.  The  subject  of  the  first  or  second  person  is  sometimes  a  substantive,  con-  * 
trary  to  the  English  idiom  :  as,  Hannibal  pet5  pacem,  I  Hannibal  am  suing  for 
peace,  pars  spectatorum  scis,  apart  of  you  spectators  knows,  exoriare  ali- 
quis  nostris  ex  ossibus  ultor ,  from  out  our  bones  mayst  some  avenger  spring. 
trecent!  coniuravimus,  three  hundred  of  us  have  sworn  an  oath  together. 

167 


1032-1041.] 


Sentences. 


1032.  (2.)  With  the  third  person  the  subject  is  regularly  expressed, 
unless  the  general  ‘he  she  it,’  or  ‘they’  implied  in  the  person  ending  is 
definite  enough. 

1033.  The  third  person  plural  often  refers  to  people  in  general,  particularly  of 
verbs  meaning  say ,  name  or  call ,  think ,  and,  with  volgo  added,  of  other  verbs  also: 
as,  ferunt,  they  say ,  people  say ,  or  the  world  says.  The  singular  verb  inquit,  is 
rarely  used  in  the  sense  of  says  somebody ,  it  will  be  said,  or  quotha. 

1034.  Some  verbs  have  no  subject  at  all  in  the  third  person  singular; 
these  are  called  Impersonal.  Such  are  :  a  few  verbs  expressing  ‘  operations 
of  nature,’  five  verbs  of  ‘  mental  distress,’  and  any  verb  used  to  denote 
merely  the  occurrence  of  action,  without  reference  to  any  doer:  as, 

(a.)  lucet,  it  is  light,  lucescit,  it  is  getting  light ;  pluit,  it  rains,  fulget, 
it  lightens,  tonat,  it  thunders,  (b.)  miseret,  it  moves  to  pity,  paenitet,  it  re¬

The  Predicate. 

1035-  The  predicate  is  either  a  verb  alone,  or  a  verb  of  indeter¬ 
minate  meaning  with  a  predicate  nominative  added  to  complete  the 
sense. 

Verbs  of  indeterminate  meaning  are  such  as  mean  am  (something),  become, 
remain,  seem,  am  thought,  am  called  or  named,  am  chosen. 

1036.  The  verb  is  sometimes  omitted,  when  it  is  easily  understood.  So 
particularly  such  everyday  verbs  as  mean  am,  do,  say,  come,  and  go,  in  proverbs 
and  maxims,  in  short  questions,  and  in  emphatic  or  lively  assertion  or  de¬ 
scription  :  as, 

quod  homines,  tot  sententiae,  sc.  sunt,  as  many  men,  so  many  minds. 
omnia  praeclara  rara,  sc.  sunt,  all  that' s  very  fair  is  rare,  mortuus  Cu- 
mis,  sc.  est,  he  died  at  Cumae,  bene  mihi,  sc.  sit,  be  it  well  with  me,  i.  e.  a 
health  to  me.  haec  hactenus,  sc.  dicam,  thus  much  only,  or  no  more  of  this. 


Enlargement  of  the  Simple  Sentence. 

1037.  The  parts  of  the  simple  sentence  may  be  enlarged  by  addi¬ 
tions.  The  commonest  enlargements  of  the  subject  and  of  the  predi¬ 
cate  are  the  following. 

1038.  I.  The  subject  may  be  enlarged  by  the  addition  of 
attributes,  appositives,  or  objects. 

1039.  (1.)  An  Attribute  is  an  essential  addition  to  a  substan¬ 
tive,  uniting  with  it  as  one  idea.  The  attribute  may  be  : 

1040.  (a.)  Genitive  of  a  substantive  of  different  meaning,  denoting  the 
agent,  possessor,  or  the  like  :  as,  metus  hostium,  fear  of  the  encjny,  i.  e. 
which  they  feel,  hostium  castra,  camp  of  the  enemy. 

1041.  {b.)  Genitive  or  ablative  of  a  substantive  with  an  adjective  in 
agreement :  as,  puer  sedecim  annorum,  a  boy  of  sixteen  years  ;  boves  mira 
specie,  bine  of  ivondrous  beauty. 


168 


Parts  of  the  Sentence.  [1042-1052. 


1042.  (c. )  A  noun  in  the  same  case,  either  an  adjective  or  participle,  or 
else  a  substantive  used  adjectively:  as,  pugna  Cannensis,  the  battle  of 
Cannae;  clvitates  victae,  the  conquered  communities ;  victor  Romulus 
rex,  victorious  king  Romulus. 

1043.  (d.)  A  substantive  in  the  accusative  or  ablative  with  a  preposition: 
as,  pugna  ad  Cannas,  the  battle  near  Cannae,  vir  sine  metu,  a  man  without 
fear  (1427). 

1044.  An  attribute  is  rarely  attached  immediately  to  a  proper  name :  as,  fortem 
Gyan,  Gyas  the  brave.  Q.  Lucanius,  eiusdem  ordinis ,  Lucanius,  of  the  same 
rank.  It  is  much  oftener  attached  to  a  general  word  in  apposition  with  the  proper 
name:  as,  vir  clarissimus,  M.  Crassus,  the  illustrious  Crassus. 

1045.  (2.)  An  Appositive  is  a  separate  substantive  added  as  an 
explanation  to  another  substantive,  and  in  the  same  case,  but  not  like 
the  attribute  uniting  with  it  as  one  idea :  as, 

avitum  malum,  regni  cupldo,  the  ancestral  curse ,  ambition  for  a  crown. 
Hamilcar,  Mars  alter,  Hamilcar ,  a  second  Mars.  Cornelia,  mater  Grac-

rex  Nitiobrogum,  Teutomatus ,  the  son  of  Ollivico ,  the  king  of  the  RTitiobroges. 

1046.  (3  .)  The  Object  of  a  substantive  is  another  substantive 
of  different  meaning  in  the  genitive,  denoting  that  on  which  action  is 
exerted :  as, 

metus  hostium,  fear  of  the  enemy ,  i.  e.  which  is  felt  towards  them,  ven- 
ditio  bonSrum,  sale  of  the  goods. 

1047.  A  substantive  in  any  case  may  be  modified  like  the  subject. 

1048.  II.  The  predicate  may  be  enlarged  by  the  addition  of 
accusatives,  datives,  predicate  nouns,  or  adverbial  adjuncts. 

1049.  C1*)  The  Accusative  denotes  the  object  of  the  verb;  also 
extent,  duration,  and  aim  of  motion.  See  1124. 

1050.  (2.)  The  Dative  denotes  that  for  or  to  which  something  is 
or  is  done.  See  1175. 

1051.  (3-)  A  predicate  noun,  either  substantive  or  adjective,  de¬ 
noting  ‘office,  time,  age,  order,  condition,’  or  the  like,  is  often  added  to 
other  verbs  besides  those  of  indeterminate  meaning  (1035):  as, 

Iunius  aedem  dictator  dedicavit,  Junius  dedicated  a  temple  in  his  ca¬ 
pacity  as  dictator ,  not  Junius  the  dictator,  litteras  Graecas  senex  didici,  / 
learned  Greek  when  I  was  an  old  man.  princeps  in  proelium  ibat,  ultimus 
excedebat,  he  was  always  the  first  to  go  into  battle,  the  last  to  come  out.  For 
the  predicative  dative  of  the  substantive,  see  1219. 

1052.  In  like  manner  a  noun  may  be  added  as  a  predicate  in  agreement 
with  a  substantive  in  any  oblique  case  :  as, 

se  incolumes  recipiunt,  they  come  back  safe,  ante  me  consulem,  be - 
fore  tnv  consulship.  Dolabella  hoste  decretS,  Dolabella  having  been  voted  an 
enemy,  natura  duce,  with  nature  as  a  guide.

Sentences. 


1053.  (4-)  An  Adverbial  Adjunct  is  either  an  oblique  case  of 
a  noun,  often  with  a  preposition,  or  an  adverb  denoting  ‘  place,  time, 
extent,  degree,  manner,  cause,’  or  ‘circumstances’  generally:  as, 

silentio  proficiscitur,  he  inarches  in  silence,  in  e5  flumine  pons  erat, 

over  that  river  there  was  a  bridge. 

1054.  A  predicate  substantive  may  be  modified  like  the  subject.  An  adjective, 
either  of  the  subject  or  of  the  predicate,  may  be  modified  by  an  oblique  case  or  by  an 
adverb. 

Combination  of  Sentences. 

1055.  Simple  sentences  may  be  combined  in  two  differ¬ 
ent  ways.  The  added  sentence  may  be  I.  Coordinate;  or 
II.  Subordinate. 

Thus,  in  he  died  and  we  lived ,  the  two  sentences  are  coordinate,  that  is, 
of  equal  rank.  But  in  he  died  that  we  might  live ,  the  sentence  beginning  with 
that  is  subordinate.  In  either  combination  the  separate  sentences  are  often 
called  Clauses  or  Members ,  in  contradistinction  to  the  more  comprehensive 
sentence  of  which  they  are  parts. 


I.  THE  COMPOUND  SENTENCE. 

1056.  A  Compound  Sentence  is  one  which  con¬ 
sists  of  two  or  more  coordinate  simple  sentences : 
as, 

tu  me  amas,  ego  te  amo,  PI.  Most.  305,  thou  art  in  love  with  me,  I'm 
in  love  with  thee,  nox  erat  et  caelS  fulgebat  luna  serend  inter  minora 
sldera,  H.  Epod.  15,  1,  'ho as  night ,  and  in  a  cloudless  sky,  bright  rode  the  moon 
amid  the  lesser  lights,  a  te  pet5,  me  defendas,  Earn.  15,8,/  ask  it  of  you, 
protect  me. 

I057’  A  compound  sentence  is  usually  abridged  when  the  members 
have  parts  in  common:  as, 

valebant  preces  et  lacrimae,  Mil.  34,  prayers  and  tears  had  weight, 
compound  subject,  for  valebant  preces  et  valebant  lacrimae.  rogat 
oratque  te,  RA.  144,  he  begs  and  entreats  you ,  compound  predicate,  for 
rogat  te  oratque  te.  arma  virumque  can5,  V.  1,  1,  arms  and  the  man 
I  sing,  compound  object,  for  arma  cano  virumque  canb.  diu  atque 
acriter  pugnatum  est,  1,  26,  1,  there  was  long  and  sharp  fighting,  for  diu 
pugnatum  est  atque  acriter  pugnatum  est. 


II.  THE  COMPLEX  SENTENCE. 

1058.  A  Complex  Sentence  is  one  which  con¬ 
sists  of  a  main  and  a  subordinate  sentence :  as, 


/ 


170 


Agreement :  The  Verb.  [1059-1062. 


centuriones  praemittit  (main  sentence),  qui  locum  idoneum  castris 

deligant  (subordinate  sentence),  2,  17,  1,  he  sends  some  officers  ahead  io  select 
a  suitable  spot  for  the  ca77ip.  nunc  scio  (main  sentence),  quid  sit  Amor 
(subordinate  sentence),  V.  E.  8,  43,  now,  now  I  know  what  Eros  is.  a  te 
peto  (main  sentence),  ut  me  defendas  (subordinate  sentence),  Earn.  15,  7, 
/  ask  it  of  you  that  you  protect  me. 

1059.  Several  sentences  are  often  subordinate  to  one  and  the  same 
main  sentence,  and  subordinate  sentences  may  in  their  turn  be  main 
sentences  to  other  subordinate  sentences. 

Thus,  in  the  following  sentence  b  is  subordinate  to  A ,  and  c  to  Ab: 
(c.)  qualis  esset  natura  montis,  (b. )  qui  cognoscerent,  (A.)  misit,  1, 

2  r,  1,  he  sent  some  people  to  see  what  the  character  of  the  hill  was. 

1060.  Subordinate  sentences  may  be  coordinated  with  each  other, 
as  well  as  main  sentences. 

Thus,  in  the  following  sentence,  b  and  b  are  both  subordinate  to  A ,  but 
coordinate  with  each  other:  (A.)  his  rebus  fiebat,  (b.)  ut  et  minus  late 
vagarentur  (b.)  et  minus  facile  finitimis  bellum  inferre  possent,  1,  2,  4, 

so  it  came  to  pass  that ,  in  the  first  place ,  they  did  not  roam  roicnd  much ,  and 
secondly ,  they  could  not  so  easily  make  aggressive  war  on  their  neighbours. 

1061.  A  subordinate  sentence  introductory  in  thought  to  the  main 
sentence,  though  not  necessarily  first  in  the  order  of  the  words,  is 
called  a  Protasis ;  the  main  sentence  which  completes  the  thought  is 
called  an  Afiodosis :  as, 

quom  videbis  (protasis),  turn  scies  (apodosis),  PI.  B.  145,  when  thou 
see' st,  then  thou' It  knoiu.  ut  sementem  feceris  (protasis),  ita  metes  (apo¬ 
dosis),  DO.  2,  261,  as  a  i7ian  soweth,  so  shall  he  reap,  si  sunt  di  (protasis), 
benefici  in  homines  sunt  (apodosis),  Div.  2,  104,  if  there  are  gods,  they  are 
kind  to  me/i. 


AGREEMENT. 

(A.)  OF  THE  VERB. 

1062.  A  verb  agrees  with  its  subject  in  number 
and  person :  as, 

praedia  mea  tu  possides,  ego  aliena  misericordia  vivo,  RA.  145,  you, 
sir ,  hold  my  estates,  it  is  by  the  compassio7i  of  other  people  that  I  am  supported. 
Rhodanus  fluit,  1,  6,  2,  the  Rho7ie  flows,  nos,  nos,  died  aperte,  consules 
desumus,  C.  1,  3,  it  is  ourselves,  yes,  ourselves,  I  will  speak  without  reserve , 
the  co7tsuls,  who  fail  in  our  duty,  vos  vobis  cdnsulite,  7,  50,  4,  do  you  look 
out  for  yourselves  diffugere  nives,  H.  4,  7,  1,  scattc7-ed  a7id  g07ie  are  s7iows.

1063-1068.] 


Sentences. 


1063.  With  a  compound  subject,  two  constructions  are  ad¬ 
missible,  as  follows. 

1064.  (1.)  With  two  or  more  singular  subjects,  the  verb  is 
often  in  the  plural  :  as, 

(a.)  Without  connectives:  persons:  iisdem  fere  temporibus  fuerunt 
C.  Cotta,  P.  Sulpicius,  Q.  Varius,  Cn.  Pomponius,  Br.  182,  in  about  the 
same  times  lived  Cotta,  Sulpicius ,  Varius,  and  Pomponius.  Things  :  fides 
Rdmana,  iustitia  imperatoris  in  ford  et  curia  celebrantur,  L.  5,  27,  ir, 
the  chivalrous  principle  of  Rome  and  the  square  dealing  of  her  captain  are 
trumpeted  in  market  place  and  council  hall,  (b.)  With  atque,  et,  or  -que  : 
persons  :  ex  his  Cotta  et  Sulpicius  facile  prlmas  tulerunt,  Br.  182,  of 
these  Cotta  and  Sulpicius  indisputably  bore  the  palm.  Things  :  nox  et  amor 
vinumque  nihil  moderabile  suadent,  O.  Am.  1,  6,  59,  darkness  and  love 
and  wine  to  nothing  governable  tempt,  cum  senatus  populusque  Rom  si¬ 
nus  pacem  comprobaverint,  L.  37,  45,  14,  when  the  senate  and  the  people  of 
Rome  sanction  peace,  (c.)  With  et  .  .  .  et:  persons:  et  Q.  Maximus  ct 
L.  Paullus  iis  temporibus  fuerunt,  Pam.  4,  6,  1,  both  Maximus  and  Paullus 
lived  in  such  times.  Things  :  utrosque  et  laudis  cupiditas  et  timor  igno- 
miniae  excitabant,  7,  80,  5,  both  of  these  eagerness  for  glory  in  the  first  place 
and  secondly  fear  of  disgrace  spurred  on. 

1065.  The  plural  is  sometimes  demanded  by  the  meaning  of  the  verb :  as,  ius  et 
iniuria  natura  diiudicantur,  Leg.  1,  44,  right  and  -wrong  are  naturally  dis¬ 
tinguished  from  each  other. 

1066.  (2.)  Often,  however,  with  two  or  more  singular  sub¬ 
jects,  the  verb  is  put  in  the  singular  :  as, 

{a.)  Without  connectives:  persons:  turn  Gorgias,  Thrasymachus, 
Prodicus,  Hippias  in  magnd  honore  fuit,  Br.  30,  at  that  time  Gorgias , 
Thrasymachus,  Prodicus,  and  Hippias  were  in  high  rencnun.  Things :  per- 
suasit  nox,  amor,  vinum,  adulescentia,  T.  Ad.  470,  the  witchery  was  night, 
flirtation,  wine,  and  youth.  (b. )  With  atque,  et,  or  -que:  persons:  cur 
Lysias  et  Hyperides  amatur?  Br.  68,  why  is  a  Lysias  and  a  Hyperides

dained.  (e.)  With  et  .  .  .  et :  persons:  illam  rationem  et  Pompeius  et 
Flaccus  secutus  est,  Place.  32,  that  ride  both  Pompey  and  P'laccus  followed. 
Things  :  talis  senatdrum  et  dignitas  et  multitudo  fuit,  Pit.  13,  13,  both  the 
position  and  number  of  the  senators  was  such. 

1067.  With  two  or  more  singular  subjects  denoting  things,  and  making 
a  compound  idea,  a  singular  verb  is  very  common,  agreeing  either  with  the 
subjects  taken  as  a  unit,  or  with  the  nearest:  as, 

{a.)  cum  tempus  necessitasque  postulat,  decertandum  manu  est, 

Off.  1,  81,  when  the  emergency  requires,  we  must  fight  it  out  by  hand,  tanta 
laetitia  ac  gratulatid  fuit,  L.  10,  26,  4,  so  great  was  the  demonstration  of  joy. 
[b.)  Cingetorigi  principatus  atque  imperium  est  traditum,  6,  8,  9,  the 

headship  and  command  was  assigned  to  Cingetorix. 

1068.  (3.)  With  mixed  subjects,  singular  and  plural,  the  verb  may  like¬ 
wise  be  either  plural  or  singular:  as, 

172 


Agreement :  The  Verb.  [1069-1074. 


[a.)  vita  mors,  divitiae  paupertas  omnis  homines  permovent,  Off. 
2,  37,  life  and  death ,  riches  and  poverty ,  tell  much  on  everybody,  (b.)  quanto 
in  periculd  et  castra  et  legidnes  et  imperator  versaretur,  2,  26,  5,  in 
70 hat  imminent  peril  camp  and  legions  and  comniahder  were  involved,  hoc 
mih!  et  Peripatetic!  et  Academia  concedit,  Ac.  2,  113,  this  point  both  Peri¬ 
patetics  and  Academy  grant  me. 

I05g.  The  plural  is  sometimes  used  with  a  singular  subject  limited  by  an  ablative 
with  cum,  with:  as,  Syrus  cum  ill5  vostrd  consusurrant,  T.  Han.  473, 
Syrus  and  yon  man  of  yours  are  whispering  together .  Bocchus  cum  peditibus 
postremam  Romanorum  aciem  invadunt,  S.  /.  101,  5,  Bocchus  rvith  the 
infantry  falls  on  the  rereward  line  of  the  Romans.  Cicero  commonly  uses  a  singular 
verb  in  this  combination,  Caesar  has  the  plural  once  only. 

1070.  (4.)  When  the  subjects  are  connected  by  nec  .  .  .  nec,  aut,  or 
aut  .  .  .  aut,  the  verb  is  likewise  either  plural  or  singular:  as, 

(a.)  neque  multitudo  hostium  neque  teldrum  vis  arcere  impetum 
eius  viri  potuerunt,  L.  26,  5,  17,  neither  the  members  of  the  enemy  nor  the 
shower  of  missiles  could  arrest  the  onslaught  of  that  intrepid  soul,  si  quid 
Socrates  aut  Aristippus  fecerint,  Off.  1,  148,  if  a  Socrates  or  an  Aristippus 
had  done  anything.  (b.)  neque  pes  neque  mens  satis  suom  officium 
facit,  T.  Eu.  729,  nor  foot  nor  mind  its  duty  doth  aright,  si  Socrates  aut 
Antisthenes  diceret,  TD.  5,  26,  if  a  Socrates  or  an  Antisthenes  should  say  it. 

1071.  Collectives  have  usually  a  singular  verb.  But  the  plural  is 
sometimes  used,  especially  when  the  subject  is  separated  from  its  verb, 
or  is  to  be  supplied  from  a  preceding  clause :  as, 

cum  tanta  multitudd  lapides  conicerent,  2,  6,  3,  when  such  a  throng 
-were  throwing  stones,  is  civitati  persuasit,  ut  de  finibus  suis  exirent, 
1,2,  1,  this  person  succeeded  in  inducing  the  community  to  leave  their  territory. 

1072.  The  verb  sometimes  agrees  with  an  appositive  explaining 
the  subject,  or  with  a  substantive  in  the  predicate  :  as, 

(a.)  flammae  late  fusae,  certidris  cladis  indicium,  progredi  longius 
prohibuit,  L.  10,  43,  it,  wide-spread  flames ,  sign  of  a  surer  disaster,  prevented 
a  further  advance.  When  urbs,  oppidum,  civitas,  or  the  like,  is  added  to 
plural  names  of  places,  the  predicate  usually  agrees  with  the  appellative: 
as,  Corioli  oppidum  captum,  L.  2,33,  9,  Corioli  town  was  taken,  (b.)  aman- 
tium  irae  amoris  integratidst,  T.  Andr.  555,  lovers ’  tiffs  are  love's  renewal. 
summa  omnium  fuerunt  ad  milia  CCCLXvm,  i,  29,  3,  the  grand  total  -was 
about  three  hundred  and  sixty-eight  thousand.  The  verb  regularly  agrees  with 
the  predicate  substantive  when  the  subject  is  an  infinitive  :  as,  contentum 
suis  rebus  esse  maximae  sunt  divitiae,  Par.  5 r ,  for  a  man  to  be  content 
with  his  own  estate  is  the  greatest  possible  riches. 

1073.  The  verb  sometimes  agrees  with  a  substantive  introduced  by  such  words  as 
quam,  quantum,  nisi,  or  praeterquam:  as,  quis  ilium  consulem  nisi 
latrdnes  putant  ?  Ph.  4,  9,  who  but  brigands  think  that  man  a  consult  So  also 
a  predicate  adjective  or  participle:  as,  mihi  n5n  tarn  edpia  quam  modus 
quaerendus  est,  IP.  3,  I  must  aim  not  so  much  at  comprehensiveness  as  at 
moderation. 

1074.  A  speaker  in  referring  to  himself  sometimes  uses  the  first  person  plural,  as 
a  more  modest  form  of  expression:  as.  Moloni  dedimus  operam,  Br.  307,  we  at¬ 
tended  Mold's  instruction ,  i.  e.  I.  Similarly  nos  in  all  its  cases  for  ego,  &c.,  and 
noster,  &c.,  for  meus,  &c.

Sentences. 


1075.  The  singular  imperative  age  is  sometimes  used  in  addressing  more  than 
one,  particularly  in  old  Latin  :  as,  age  licemini,  PI.  St.  221,  come, people,  give  a  bid. 
age  igitur  intrd  abite,  PI.  MG.  928,  come  then  go  in.  Similarly,  cave  clirum- 
patis,  PI.  Poen.  117 ,  mind  yozi  don't  break  it  off .  Similarly  ain. 

1076.  If  the  subjects  are  of  different  persons,  the  first  person  is 
preferred  to  the  second  or  the  third,  and  the  second  to  the  third  :  as,

mus,  Fam.  14,  5,  1,  if  you  and  Tullia,  our  sunbeam,  are  well ,  darling  Cicero 
and  I  are  well.  But  sometimes  in  contrasts  the  verb  agrees  with  the  nearest 
person  :  as,  quid  indicat  aut  ipse  Cornelius  aut  v5s  ?  Still.  54,  what  infor¬ 
mation  does  Cornelius  himself  give,  or  you  people  ?

(1.)  THE  SUBSTANTIVE. 

1077.  A  substantive  which  explains  another  substan¬ 
tive  referring  to  the  same  thing  is  put  in  the  same  case. 

This  applies  to  the  substantive  used  as  attribute,  appositive,  or  predi¬ 
cate.  The  two  substantives  often  differ  in  gender  or  number,  or  both. 
(a.)  Attribute:  tirone  exercitu,  Fam.  7,  3,  2,  with  a  raw  army,  a  mima 
uxore,  Ph.  2,  20,  from  an  actress-wife,  mendicos  homines,  PI.  St.  135.

positive  :  quid  dicam  de  thesaurd  rerum  omnium,  memoria  ?  DO.  1,  18, 
what  shall  /  say  of  that  universal  storehouse,  the  memory  ?  duo  fulmina 
nostri  imperii,  Cn.  et  P.  Scipidnes,  Balb.  34,  the  two  thunderbolts  of  our 
realm,  the  Scipios ,  Gnaetts  and  Publius,  (c.)  Predicate:  ira  furor  brevis  est, 
H.  E.  1,  2,  62,  wrath  is  a  madness  brief.  Dolabella  hoste  decreto,  Fit.  1 1,  16, 
Dolabella  having  been  voted  a  public  enemy.  Some  apparent  exceptions  will 
be  noticed  from  time  to  time  hereafter. 

1078.  Mobile  substantives  take  also  the  gender  and  number  of 
the  masculines  or  feminines  they  explain  :  as, 

stilus  optimus  dlcendi  magister,  DO.  1,  150,  pen  is  the  best  professor  of 
rhetoric,  vita  rustica  parsimoniae  magistra  est,  RA.  75,  country  life  is 
a  teacher  of  thrift,  fluvidrum  rex  Eridanus,  V.  G.  I,  482,  Eridanus,  of

doctrinarum  inventrices  Athenas,  DO.  1,  13  ,to  say  nothing  of  the  great  origi¬ 
nator  of  all  intellectual  pursuits,  Athens. 

1079.  A  substantive  explaining  two  or  more  substantives,  is  put 
in  the  plural :  as, 

foedus  inter  Romam  Laviniumque  urbes  renovatum  est,  L.  1,  14,  3, 

the  treaty  between  the  cities  of  Rome  and  Lavinium  was  renewed.  Cn.  et  P. 
Scipiones,  Balb.  34,  the  Scipios,  Gnaeus  and  Publius.

1080.  A  plural  subject,  expressed  or  implied,  is  sometimes  defined 
by  a  singular  word,  which  is  generally  a  collective  or  distributive  : 
as, 

ut  ambo  exercitus  suas  quisque  abirent  dom5s,  L.  2,  7,  1,  so  that  both 
armies  went  back  to  their  respective  homes,  uterque  eorum  ex  castris  exer- 
citum  educunt,  Caes.  C.  3,  30,  3,  they  bring  their  army  out  of  camp,  each  of 
them,  heus  foras  exite  hue  aliquis,  PI.  A.  398,  hallo,  you  boys ,  come  out 
of  doors  here,  somebody,  alius  alium  percontamur,  PL  St.  370,  we  ask  of  one 
another,  cum  accidisset  ut  alter  alterum  videremus,  Fin.  3,  8,  when  it 
came  to  pass  that  we  each  saw  the  other.  The  verb  sometimes  agrees  with  the 
defining  singular :  as,  quando  duo  consules,  alter  morb5,  alter  ferro 
periisset,  L.  41,  18,  16,  since  the  two  consuls  had  died,  one  a  natural  death , 
the  other  by  the  sword. 

1081.  A  substantive  in  the  accusative  or  nominative  is  sometimes 
in  apposition  to  a  thought  or  clause  :  as, 

mantis  intentantes,  causam  discordiae,  Ta.  1,  27,  shaking  their  fists ,  a 
provocation  to  quarrel,  pars  ingenti  subiere  feretrS,  triste  ministerium, 
V.  6,  222,  a  part  put  shoulder  to  the  mighty  bier,  a  service  sad.  nec  Homerum 
audio,  qui  Ganymeden  ab  dis  raptum  ait  propter  formam ;  non  iusta 
causa  cur  Laomedonti  tanta  fieret  iniuria,  TD.  1,  65,  nor  will  I  lend  an 
ear  to  Plomer,  who  asserts  that  Gatiymede  was  carried  off  by  the  gods  for  his 
beauty  ;  no  just  reason  for  doing  Laomedon  such  injustice. 


(2.)  THE  ADJECTIVE. 

1082.  An  adjective,  adjective  pronoun,  or  participle, 
agrees  with  its  substantive  in  number,  gender,  and  case : 
as, 

* 

vir  bonus,  H.  Ep.  1,  16,  40,  a  good  man,  bona  uxor,  PI.  MG.  684,  a  good

less  woods  that  flit  through  lither  sky,  fill  space  with  carols  clear. 

1083.  An  adjective  or  participle,  either  attributive  or  predicate,  some¬ 
times  takes  the  number  and  gender  of  the  persons  or  things  implied  in  the 
substantive :  as, 

(a.)  concursus  populi  mirantium  quid  rgi  esset,  L.  1,  41,  \,  a  gather¬ 
ing  of  the  public,  wondering  what  was  the  matter,  (b.)  pars  subeuntium

res  erat  multae  operae  et  laboris,  5,  n,  5,  it  was  a  job  that  required 
much  work  and  trouble,  semper  amavi  ingenium,  studia,  mores  tuos, 

0.  33,  I  have  alzvays  admired  your  ability ,  your  scholarly  tastes,  and  your 
character.  Ia  lively  style,  the  adjective  is  often  used  with  every  substantive. 

1085.  Two  or  more  attributive  adjectives  in  the  singular  connected  by  a 
conjunction  may  belong  to  a  plural  substantive  :  as, 

circa  portas  Colllnam  Esquilinamque,  L.  26,  10,2 ,  about  the  gates,  the 
Colline  and  the  Esquiline.  But  the  substantive  may  also  be  in  the  singular  : 
as,  inter  Esquilinam  Colllnamque  portam,  L.  26,  10,  1,  between  theEsqui- 

line  and  the  Colline  gate. 

1086.  The  combined  idea  of  a  substantive  with  an  attributive  adjective 
may  be  qualified  by  one  or  more  adjectives:  as, 

navis  longas  triginta  veteres,  L.  27,  22,  12,  thirty  old  men-ofwar. 
privata  navis  oneraria  maxima,  V.  5,  136,  a  very  large  private  freighting 
vessel,  ater  alienus  canis,  T.  Ph.  706,  a  strange  black  dog. 

1087.  (2.)  A  predicate  adjective  or  participle  referring  to  two  or 
more  substantives  is  usually  in  the  plural  ;  its  gender  is  determined  as 
follows  : 

1088.  (a.)  If  the  substantives  denote  persons  of  the  same  gender,  that 
gender  is  used  ;  if  they  denote  persons  of  different  gender,  the  masculine  is 
used  :  as, 

veneno  absumpti  Hannibal  et  Philopoemen,  L.  39,  52,  8,  it  was  by 

poison  that  Hannibal  and  Philopoemen  were  taken  off.  quam  pridem  pater 

mihl  et  mater  mortui  essent,  T.  Eu.  517,  how  long  my  father  and  my 

mother  had  been  dead. 

1089.  (b.)  If  the  substantives  denote  things,  and  are  of  different  genders, 
the  neuter  plural  is  used;  also  commonly  when  they  are  feminines  denoting 
things :  as,  1 

murus  et  porta  de  caelo  tacta  erant,  L.  32,  29,  1,  the  wall  and  town-gate 
had  been  struck  by  lightning  ira  et  avaritia  imperio  potentiora  erant, 

L.  37,  32,  13,  hot  blood  and  greed  proved  stronger  than  authority. 

1090.  ( c .)  If  the  substantives  denote  both  persons  and  things,  either  the 
gender  of  the  substantives  denoting  persons  is  used,  or  the  neuter.  The 
gender  of  the  substantives  denoting  things  is  very  rarely  used:  as, 

et  rex  regiaque  classis  una  profectf,  L.  21,  50,  n,  the  king  too  and  the 
king' s  fleet  set  sail  in  his  company,  inimica  inter  se  liberam  civitatem  et 
regem,  L.  44,  24,  2,  that  a  free  state  and  a  monarch  were  irrecojtcilable  things. 
Dolopas  et  Athamaniam  ereptas  sibi  querens,  L.  38,  10,  3,  complaining 

that  the  Dolopians  and  Athamania  were  wrested  from  him. 

1091.  When  the  verb  is  attached  to  the  nearest  only  of  two  or  more  subjects,  a 
predicate  participle  or  adjective  naturally  takes  the  gender  of  that  substantive :  as, 
ibi  Orgetorlgis  filia  atque  unus  e  filiis  captus  est,  1,  26,  5,  there  the 
daughter  of  Orgetorix  and  one  of  the  sons  too  was  made  prisoner.  Ut  brachia

might  be  unhampered. 

iog2.  The  ablative  singular  absente  is  once  used  by  Terence  with  a  plural 
substantive  :  absente  nobis,  T.  Eu.  649,  while  we  were  out.

1093.  A  neuter  adjective  or  pronoun  is  sometimes  used  as  a  substantive 
in  the  predicate  (noi):  as, 

triste  lupus  stabulis,  V.  E.  3,  80,  a  baleful  thing  the  wolf  for  folds. 

quod  ego  fui  ad  Trasumennum,  id  tu  hodie,  L.  30,  30,  12,  zuhat  I  zuas 
myself  at  Trasumene ,  that  you  are  today . 

1094.  A  demonstrative,  determinative,  or  relative  pronoun 
used  substantively  takes  the  number  and  gender  of  the  substan¬ 
tive  it  represents  ;  the  case  depends  on  the  construction  of  the 
clause  in  which  it  stands  :  as, 

erant  pedites,  quos  delegerant ;  cum  his  in  proeliis  versabantur ;  ad 
eos  se  recipiebant ;  hi  concurrebant,  1,  48,  5,  there  were  foot-soldiers  whom 
they  had  picked  out ;  with  these  men  they  kept  company  in  action  ;  upon  them 
they  would  fall  back ;  these  people  would  always  rally.  Hippias  gloriatus 
est  anulum  quem  haberet,  pallium  qud  amictus,  soccos  quibus  indutus 
esset,  se  sua  manu  confecisse,  DO.  3,  127,  Hippias  bragged  he  had  made 
zuith  his  own  hand  the  ring  zuhich  he  wore ,  the  cloak  in  which  he  was  wrapped, 
and  the  slippers  which  he  had  on. 

1095.  Sometimes,  however,  the  number  and  gender  of  these  pronouns 
are  determined  by  the  sense,  and  not  by  the  form  of  the  substantive  repre¬ 
sented  :  as, 

equitatum  omnem  praemittit,  qui  videant,  1,  15,  1,  he  sends  all  the  horse 
ahead,  for  them  to  see.  hie  sunt  quinque  minae.  h5c  tib!  erus  me  iussit 
ferre,  PI.  Ps.  1149,  here  are  five  minae  ;  this  my  master  bade  me  bring  for  thee.

Caes.  C.  I,  36,  1,  Domitius  arrived  at  Massilia ,  and  zuas  received  by  the  people 
and  put  in  charge  of  the  town.  ad  hirundininum  nidum  visast  simia 
adscensionem  ut  faceret  admolirier;  neque  eas  eripere  quibat  inde, 
PI.  R.  598,  up  to  a  swallow-nest  methought  an  ape  did  strive  to  climb ;  nor 
could  she  snatch  the  nestlings  thence;  the  eas  refers  to  hirundines,  implied 
in  hirundininum. 

1096.  A  pronoun  representing  two  or  more  substantives  sometimes  takes 
the  number  and  gender  of  the  nearest.  But  usually  it  is  plural,  and  its 
gender  is  determined  like  that  of  an  adjective  (1087). 

1097.  A  demonstrative,  determinative,  or  relative  pronoun  used  substan¬ 
tively  is  generally  attracted  to  the  number  and  gender  of  a  predicate  sub¬ 
stantive  in  its  own  clause  :  as, 

haec  est  nobilis  ad  Trasumennum  pugna,  L.  22,  7,  1,  such  is  the  far- 
famed  fight  at  Trasumene,  217  B.  c.  ista  quidem  vis  est,  Suet.  lul.  82,  now 
that  I  call  an  outrage,  Caesar’s  dying  words,  44  B.  c.  But  with  a  negative, 
usually  the  neuter  :  as,  nec  sopor  illud  erat,  V.  3,  173,  nor  was  that  sleep. 

1098.  A  demonstrative,  determinative,  or  relative  pronoun  in  agreement 
with  a  substantive  is  often  equivalent  to  a  genitive  limiting  the  substantive  : 
as, 

hoc  metu  vagari  prohibebat,  5,  19,  2,  by  fear  of  this  he  stopped  the 
prowling  round,  is  pavor  perculit  Romanos,  L.  31,  46,  7,  the  panic  occa¬ 
sioned  by  this  demoralized  the  Romans,  qua  spe  adducti,  4,  6,  4,  impelled  by

Such  adjectives  are  usually  in  the  nominative  or  accusative,  and  may 
have  a  pronoun,  a  numeral,  or  an  adjective,  agreeing  with  them.  In  English 
the  singular  is  often  preferred.  Such  are:  bona,  mala;  vera,  falsa;

Galliae,  the  Gauls  ;  Germaniae,  the  Germanics. 

1108.  Material  substantives  are  often  used  in  the  plural  to  denote

IIIO.  The  plural  is  sometimes  used  in  generalizations,  and  in  poetry  to  magnify 
a  single  thing,  to  give  mystery  to  the  statement,  or  often  merely  for  metrical  conven¬ 
ience  :  as,  advenisse  familiares  dicito,  PI.  Am.  353,  say  that  the  people  of  the 
house  are  come,  the  plural  familiares  denoting  one  person.  Priam!  dum  regna

secondary. 

1 1 12.  The  principal  cases  are  the  nominative  and  the  accusative. 
The  principal  cases,  which  have  more  complete  inflections  than  the 
secondary,  express  the  two  chief  relations  of  the  noun  in  the  sentence, 
those  of  the  subject  and  of  the  object.  The  secondary  cases  are  used 
to  express  subordinate  or  supplementary  relations.

1 1 13.  The  nominative  is  principally  used  as  the  subject  or  predi¬ 
cate  noun  of  a  verb  or  of  an  infinitive.  Besides  this  use,  the  nomina¬ 
tive  occurs  in  titles,  exclamations,  and  addresses  (1114-1123). 


The  Nominative  of  Title. 

1 1 14.  The  nominative  is  used  in  inscriptions,  notices,  titles, 
or  headings :  as,

tocles ,  sou  of  Aeocles,  of  A  thefts. 

1 1 15.  The  title  proper  of  a  book  is  often  put  in  the  genitive,  dependent  on  liber 
or  libri :  as,  Corneli  Taciti  Historiarum  Liber  Primus,  Tacitus' s  Histories, 
Book  First.  Or  prepositional  expressions  are  used:  as,  M.  Tulli  Ciceronis  de 
Fat5  Liber,  Cicero,  Fate,  in  One  Book.  Cornell  Taciti  ab  Excessu  divi 
Augustl  Liber  Primus,  Tacitus's  Roman  History  from  the  Demise  of  the 
sainted  Augustus,  Book  First. 

1116.  Sometimes  the  nominative  of  a  title  or  exclamation  is  retained  in  a  sentence 
for  some  other  case:  as,  Gabinid  cognomen  ‘  Cauchius’  usurpare  conces¬ 
sit,  Suet.  Cl.  24,  he  allowed  Gabinius  to  take  the  surname  ‘  Cauchius (compare 
Cato  quasi  cognomen  habebat  Sapientis,  L.  6,  Cato  had  the  virtual  sur¬ 
name  of  the  Wise).  ‘  Marsya’  nomen  habet,  O.  6,  400,  it  has  the  name  of  ‘  Mar¬ 
iyas  (compare  nomen  Danuvium  habet,  S.  Fr.  3,  55,  it  has  the  name 
Danube),  resonent  mihi  ‘Cynthia’  silvae,  Prop.  1,  18,  31,  let  woods  reecho

ryllida  silvas,  V.  E.  1,  4,  thou,  Tityrus ,  dost  teach  the  woods  to  echo  Amaryllis 
Fair). 

The  Nominative  of  Exclamation. 

1 1 17.  The  nominative  is  sometimes  used  in  exclamations:  as, 

fortunae  filius,  omnes,  H.  S.  2,  6,  49,  ‘  the  child  of  Fortune,’  all  exclaim. 
This  nominative  is  often  accompanied  by  an  interjection,  such  as  ecce,  en, 
heu,  o,  pro,  vah:  as,  en  Priamus,  V.  1,  461,  lo,  Priam  here.  5  festus 
dies,  T.  Eu.  560,  oh  day  of  cheer.  For  cccilla,  see  667. 

The  Vocative  Nominative  and  Vocative  Proper. 

1 1 18.  The  vocative  nominative  is  used  when  a  per¬ 
son  or  thing  is  addressed  :  as, 

quo  usque  tandem  abutere,  Catilina,  patientia  nostra?  C.  1,  1,  in 

heaven’s  name,  how  long,  Catiline,  wilt  trifle  with  our  patience  ?  valete, 
desidcria  mea,  valete,  Fain.  14,  2,  4,  good  bye,  my  absent  loves,  good  bye.  In¬ 
stead  of  a  proper  name,  an  emphatic  tu  is  often  used :  as,  advorte  animum 
sis  tu,  PI.  Cap.  no,  fust  pay  attention,  sirrah,  please. 

180 


The  Noun :  Accusative. 


[i  1 19-1 1 26. 


1 1 19.  Masculine  stems  in  -o-  commonly  use  the  special  form 
for  the  second  person  singular  called  the  vocative  :  as, 

urbem,  urbem,  ml  Rufe,  cole,  Fain.  2,  12,  2,  stick  to  town ,  dear  Rufus , 

res,  to  town.  But  the  vocative  nominative  is  sometimes  used  even  of  -o- 
✓  ’ 

stems:  as,  audl  tu,  populus  Albanus,  L.  1,  24,7,  hear  thou,  the  people  of 
Alba. 

1120.  Poets  use  the  vocative  nominative  or  vocative  proper  very  freely, 
sometimes  for  liveliness,  but  often  simply  in  place  of  other  cases  not  allowed 
by  the  metre  :  as, 

dra  manusque  tuo  lavimus,  Feronia,  fonte,  IT.  S.  1,  5,  24,  our  faces 
and  our  hands,  Feronia,  in  thy  spring  we  wash,  occiderat  Tatius,  populls- 
que  aequata  duobus,  Romule,  iura  dabas,  O.  14,  805,  now  dead  zuas 
Tatius ,  and  to  peoples  twain  thou  paves t,  Romulus,  impartial  laws,  longum 
tibi,  Daedale,  crimen,  O.  8,  240,  a  lasting  stigma,  Daedalus,  to  thee.  In 
these  three  examples,  Feroniae,  Romulus,  and  Daedalo  would  be  impos¬ 
sible.  In  poetry,  the  vocative  is  particularly  common  in  questions. 

1121.  Nominative  forms  and  vocative  forms  are  often  combined:  as,  dulcis 
amice,  H.  E.  1,  7,  12,  sweet  friend,  ml  vir,  PL  Am.  716,  my  husband.  lane 
pater,  J.  6,  394,  thou  father  Janus. 

1122.  In  verse  the  vocative  is  occasionally  used  even  in  the  predicate :  as,  qu5 
moriture  ruis  ?  V.  10,  811 ,  whither,  on  death  intent,  fliest  thou?  quibus,  Hec¬ 
tor,  ab  5rls  exspectate  venls  ?  V.  2,  282,  out  of  what  limboes,  Hector ,  dost  thou 
gladly  welcomed  come  ? 

1123.  The  vocative  nominative  or  vocative  proper  is  sometimes  accompanied  by 
6,  but  only  in  impassioned  addresses :  as,  5  fortunate  adulescens,  Arch.  24,  oh 
thou  thrice  blest  youth;  also  by  pr5  in  addresses  to  gods,  by  eho  and  heus  in  calls 
on  men.  Rarely  by  au,  ehem,  hem,  6heu,  eia  or  heia,  id. 


THE  ACCUSATIVE. 

1124.  The  accusative  is  used  primarily  with  verbs,  or  with 
expressions  equivalent  to  verbs.  The  relations  expressed  by 
the  accusative  are  all  of  one  general  kind  ;  but  they  vary  some¬ 
what,  according  to  the  nature  of  the  verb. 

1125.  I.  With  most  verbs,  the  accusative  either  (a.)  denotes 
that  which  is  affected  or  apprehended,  or  is  produced  by  the 
action  of  the  verb  (1132);  or,  less  frequently  {It.)  it  repeats  the 
meaning  of  the  verb  in  the  form  of  a  substantive  (1140). 

Such  accusatives,  called  accusatives  of  the  Object,  are  never  attended  by 
a  preposition,  and  become  nominative  in  the  passive  construction. 

1126.  II.  With  some  verbs,  the  accusative  denotes  (a.)  ex¬ 
tent  or  duration  (1151);  with  others  it  denotes  (b.)  aim  of 
motion  (1157). 

Both  these  accusatives  sometimes  have  their  places  taken  by  a  preposi¬ 
tional  expression,  or  by  an  adverb;  in  the  passive  construction,  they  are  not 
convertible  into  a  nominative,  but  remain  accusative. 

181 


1 1 27-1 1 35.]  Sentences :  The  Simple  Sentence. 


1127.  Two  or  even  three  accusatives  are  sometimes  used  with  one  and  the  same 
verb  :  see  1 167-1174. 

1128.  The  accusative  is  sometimes  disengaged  from  the  verb,  with 
which  it  originally  stood,  and  used  with  a  noun  or  a  preposition. 

1129.  (1.)  With  substantives,  the  accusative  is  rare;  it  is  used  (^.)  in 
a  few  attributive  expressions,  chiefly  old  set  forms,  and  rarely  to  denote 
(/>.)  aim  of  motion. 

Thus  ( a .)  the  predicative  id  aetatis,  in  id  aetatis  iam  sumus,  7 ve  are 
now  of  that  age,  becomes  attributive  in  homines  id  aetatis,  people  of  that 
age.  And  {!>.)  as  domum,  home ,  is  used  with  the  verb  reded,  go  back,  so  also 
rarely  with  the  substantive  reditio,  a  return. 

1130.  With  adjectives,  the  accusative  is  commonly  that  of  extent :  so  with 
altus,  high,  latus,  zuide,  and  longus,  long,  sometimes  with  crassus,  thick. 

Thus,  in  eos  surculds  facito  sint  longi  pedes  binds,  see  that  the  scions 
he  t7vo  feet  long,  the  accusative  pedes,  which  belongs  with  the  predicate  sint 
longi,  may  be  used  with  the  attributive  adjective  longus  alone,  thus  :  surculi 
longi  pedes  binds,  scions  two  feet  long. 

1131.  (2.)  The  accusative  is  used  with  many  prepositions  :  see  1410. 


I.  THE  ACCUSATIVE  OF  THE  OBJECT. 

1132.  The  object  of  a  verb  is  put  in  the  accusative  : 

as, 

(a.)  oppida  sua  omnia  incendunt,  1,  5,  3,  they  set  all  their  tenons  afire. 
conspexit  adrasum  quendam,  H.  E.  1,  7,  49,  he  spied  a  man  all  shaven 
and  shorn,  (b.)  duas  fossas  perduxit,  7,  72,  3,  he  made  two  trenches.  This 
accusative,  is,  as  may  be  seen  above,  either  (a.)  receptive,  i.e.  existing  inde¬ 
pendently  of  the  action  of  the  verb,  and  only  affected  or  apprehended  by 
it;  or  (b.)  of  product,  i.  e.  produced  by  the  action  of  the  verb. 

1133.  Verbs  thus  used  with  an  object  are  said  1o  be  used  transi¬ 
tively.  Such  verbs  may  also  be  used  intransitively,  that  is  without 
an  object,  when  stress  is  put  on  the  action  merely  :  thus, 

(a.)  Transitively:  tu  me  amas,  ego  te  amo,  PI.  Most.  305, lovest 
me,  and  I  love  thee,  nova  diruunt,  alia  aedificant,  S.  C.  20,  12,  they  pull 
dozvn  new  structures,  and  build  up  others,  (b.)  Intransitively  :  amo,  PI.  B.  51 1, 
I  'm  in  love,  diruit,  aedificat,  H.E.  i,  1, 100,  it pulleth  dozvn,  it  buildeth  up. 

1134.  Some  verbs,  in  addition  to  the  accusative; often  take  an  infinitive  also:  thus, 
eum  vident  sedere,  V.  5,  107,  they  see  him  sit ,  they  see  that  he  is  sitting.  Here 
the  accusative  eum,  originally  the  object,  they  see  him,  becomes  at  the  same  time  the 
subject  of  the  new  statement  appended,  sedere,  sit ,  thus  giving  rise  to  the  construc¬ 
tion  known  as  the  accusative  with  the  infinitive. 

1135.  Instead  of  the  proper  accusative  of  the  object,  another  accusative 
is  sometimes  substituted,  denoting  the  ultimate  result :  as, 

rupere  viam,  L.  2,  50,  10,  they  broke  a  path ,  i.e.  they  broke  through  the 
obstacles,  and  so  made  a  path,  foedusque  feri,  E.  33,  and  strike  a  covenant, 
i.e.  strike  a  victim,  and  so  make  a  covenant. 

182 


The  Noun  :  Accusative .  [i  136-1 140. 


1136.  In  Plautus,  quid  t ibf  with  a  substantive  of  action  in  -tio  and  est,  has  an 
accusative  like  a  verb  used  transitively  :  as,  quid  tib!  hanc  curatiost  rem  ?  PI. 
Am.  519,  what  business  hast  thou  with  this  ? 

1137.  Many  verbs  ordinarily  used  intransitively,  particularly 
verbs  of  motion,  have  a  transitive  use  when  compounded  with  a 
preposition. 

Such  prepositions  are,  ad,  circum,  ex,  in,  ob,  per,  prae,  praeter,  trans, 
and  some  others:  as,  plures  paucds  circumsistebant,  4,  26,  2,  a  good  many 
took  their  stand  round  a  few.  Caesar  omnem  agrum  Picenum  percurrit, 
Caes.  C.  1,  15,  I,  Caesar  runs  over  the  whole  Picene  territory.  praeterire 
nemo  pristrinum  potest,  PI.  Cap.  80S,  no  man  can  pass  the  mill,  flumen 
transierunt,  4,  4,  7,  they  crossed  the  river. 

1138.  A  few  verbs  with  a  transitive  use,  have,  when  compounded  with  circum 
and  trans,  besides  the  accusative  of  the  object,  a  second  accusative  of  the  thing  to 
which  the  preposition  refers :  as,  istum  circumduce  hasce  aedis,  PI.  Most.  843, 
take  that  man  round  this  house.  Caesar  funditores  pontem  traducit,  2, 10,  1, 
Caesar  takes  the  slingers  over  the  bridge,  transfer  Ilmen  aureolos  pedes,  Cat. 
61,  166,  over  the  threshold  put  thy  little  golden  foot.  In  the  passive,  the  accusative 
connected  with  the  preposition  is  sometimes  retained:  as,  Apolloniam  praeter- 
vehuntur,  Caes.  C.  3,  26,  1,  they  sail  by  Apollonia. 

1139.  Verbs  of  weeping  and  wailing,  and  some  other  verbs 
of  feeling,  which  commonly  have  an  intransitive  use,  sometimes 
have  a  transitive  use  with  an  accusative  :  as, 

(a.)  luget  senatus,  maeret  equester  brdd,  Mil.  20,  the  senate  is  in 
mourning ,  the  equestrian  order  betrays  its  sadness,  (b.)  matronae  eum  luxe- 
runt,  L.  2,  7,  4,  the  married  women  wore  mourning  for  him.  maereo  casum 
eius  modi,  Fain.  14,  2,  2,  I  cannot  help  shozuing  my  grief  over  a  misfortune  of 
such  a  kind,  quid  mortem  congemis  ac  fles,  Lucr.  3,  934,  why  dost  thou 
death  bewail  and  weep  ?  Such  verbs  are  fled,  zveep ,  gemo,  wail,  lamentor, 
queror,  bewail ,  doleo,  am  distressed ,  luged,  mourn ,  maereo,  betray  sadness. 
Similarly,  horreo,  shudder ,  reformido,  am  in  dread ,  fastidio,  feel  disdain , 
rideo,  laugh ,  &c.,  &c.  The  object  is  oftener  a  thing  than  a  person,  and  pas¬ 
sive  constructions  are  rare,  and  mostly  confined  to  poetry. 

The  Emphasizing  or  Defining  Accusative. 

1140.  The  meaning  of  a  verb,  even  of  one  ordinarily  intran¬ 
sitive,  may  be  emphasized  or  more  exactly  defined  by  an  accusa¬ 
tive  of  kindred  derivation  added. 

(a.)  Seldom  without  an  adjective:  as,  dum  vltam  vivas,  PI.  Per.  494, 
as  long  as  life  thou  liv’st,  i.  e.  as  long  as  you  ever  live  and  breathe,  quorum 
maiorum  nemo  servitutem  servivit,  T.  29,  of  whose  ancestors  not  one  has 
served  servitude ,  i.  e.  been  a  regular  slave,  vide  ne  facinus  facias,  Fin.  2,  95, 
mind  you  don't  do  a  deed ,  i.  e.  a  misdeed,  (b.)  Commonly  with  an  adjective  : 
as,  scelestam  servitutem  serviunt,  PI.  Cu.  40,  a  zvicked  servitude  they  serve. 
facinus  memorabile  fecistis,  L.  24,  22,  16,  you  have  done  a  deed  well  zvorth 
mentioning,  mirum  atque  inscitum  somniavi  somnium,  PI.  R.  597,  a 
Strange  and  silly  dream  dreamed  I.

1141.  The  verb  sometimes  has  an  accusative  of  kindred  meaning, 
but  of  different  derivation:  as,

woe.  non  pugnavit  ingens  Idomeneus  Sthenelusve  solus  dicenda  Mu¬

fought  for  Muses  to  rehearse. 

1142.  The  neuter  singular  accusative  of  a  descriptive  adjective  is  used,

resonat  conclusus,  H.  S.  1,  4,  76,  sweet  to  the  voice  the  pent-up  place  rings  back.

cernis  acutum  ?  H.  S.  1,  3,  26,  why  dost  thou  see  so  sharp?  The  plural  is 
not  so  common  :  as,  asper,  acerba  tuens,  Lucr.  5,  33,  V.  9,  794,  rough , 
staring  savageness. 

o  o 

1143.  Some  verbs  of  smell  and  of  taste  have  an  accusative  defining  what  the  smell

of  lozenges  Rufillus  smells ,  Gargonius  of  the  goat,  doctrinam  redolet  pueri-

1146.  The  accusative  is  sometimes  disengaged  from  a  verb,  and  qualifies  a  sub¬

1149.  The  accusative  is  used  in  exclamations,  sometimes 
merely  to  call  attention  to  something,  but  generally  with  a  pred¬ 
icate  to  express  a  judgment  with  emphasis. 

(<?.)  In  calling  attention,  ecce  or  em  is  used  in  old  Latin  :  as,  ecce  me, 
PI.  MG.  663,  behold ,  your  Jmmble  servant,  em  Davom  tibf,  T.  Andr.  842, 
there ,  Davos  sir.  For  ellum,  eccillum,  &c.,  see  667  and  673.  Also,  from 
Cicero  on,  en  :  as,  en  quattuor  aras,  V.  E.  5,  65,  see,  altars  fozir.  (b.)  In 
emphatic  judgments  sometimes  the  accusative  alone:  as,  fortunatum  Ni- 
cobulum,  PI.  B.  455,  lucky  man  that  Nicobulus.  testis  egregios,  Cael.  63, 
mighty  fine  witnesses;  sometimes  with  an  interjection:  as,  o  imperatorem 
probum,  PI.  B.  759,  oh  what  a  good  commander ;  rarely  so  with  ecastor, 
edepol,  euge,  bravo,  heu,  ilicet,  all's  up,  Iheu.  Interrogatively:  hancine 
impudentiam  ?  V.  5,  62,  possible,  shamelessness  like  this  ? 

1150.  The  accusative  is  used  in  excited  orders,  appeals,  and  questions,  without 
any  verb  expressed,  or  even  distinctly  felt  :  as,  Tiberium  in  Tiberim,  Suet.  Tib. 
75,  Tiberius  to  the  Tiber,  dl  vostram  fidem,  T.  Andr.  7x6,  ye  gods  your  help. 
prd  fidem,  Theban!  cives,  PI.  Am.  376,  oh  help,  or  murder,  ye  citizens  of 
Thebes.  So  with  unde,  quo,  and  quandd,  often  followed  by  mihl  or  tibf  :  as, 
qud  mihi  fortunam,  si  non  conceditur  uti  ?  H.  E.  1,  5,  12,  why  wealth  for 
me,  if  wealth  I  may  not  use  ? 


II.  THE  ACCUSATIVE  OF  SPACE  AND  TIME,  AND  OF 

AIM  OF  MOTION. 

The  Accusative  of  Space  and  Time. 

1151.  Extent  of  space  or  duration  of  time  is  denoted 
by  the  accusative  :  as.

suum  quattuor  et  xx  abesse,  1,  41,  5,  he  was  informed  that  Ariovistus's  troops

tance:  as,  positis  castris  a  milibus  passuum  xv,  6,  7,  3,  pitching  camp fifteen 
miles  azvay.

annos  quattuordecim,  V.  t,  34,  you  were  a  quaestor  fourteen  years  ago.  The 
ablative  occurs  once  or  twice  with  abhinc,  meaning  before  (1393)  :  as,  comitiis  ab¬ 
hinc  diebus  triginta  factis,  V.  2,  130,  the  election  having  been  held  thirty  days 
before. 

1155.  The  accusative  singular  is  used  with  ordinals,  to  show  the  number  of  days, 
months,  or  years  since  a  particular  event,  including  the  day,  month,  or  year  of  the 
event  itself :  as,  quod  annum  iam  tertium  et  vicesimum  regnat,  IP.  7, 

the  circumstance  that  he  has  now  been  on  the  throne  two  and  twenty  years. 

1156.  The  accusative  in  some  pronominal  expressions  and  adverbs  passes  over 
from  ‘  time  through  which  ’  to  a  loose  1  time  at  which  ’  :  as,  id  temporis,  RA.  97,  at 
that  time,  hoc  noctis,  PI.  Am.  163^,  at  this  time  of  night,  turn,  then,  num, 
nunc,  nozu,  nunc  ipsum,  PL  B.  940,  Att.  10,  4,  10,  this  very  minute ,  commo-

The  Accusative  of  the  Aim  of  Motion. 

1157.  (1.)  Proper  names  of  towns  and  of  little  isl¬

cheruntem  mortul,  Most.  509,  the  dead  are  taking  me  to  Acheron  alive. 

186 


The  Noun:  Accusative . 


[i  158-1 166. 


1158.  With  singular  names  of  towns  and  little  islands,  Plautus  has  the  accusative 
alone  twenty  times,  and  twenty  times  with  in  ;  Terence  has,  including  Lemnum, 
Ph.  56 7,  and  Cyprum,  Ad.  224,  230,  the  accusative  alone  six  times,  and  twice  with 
in,  in  Lemnum,  Ph.  66,  and  in  Cyprum,  Ad.  278.  Plural  town  names  never 
have  in. 

1159.  An  appellative  urbem  or  oppidum  accompanying  the  accusative  of  a 
town  name  is  usually  preceded  by  in  or  ad  :  as,  ad  urbem  Fidenas  tendunt, 
L.  4,  33,  10,  they  make  for  the  city  of  Fidenae.  Iugurtha  Thalam  pervenit,  in 
oppidum  magnum,  S.  /.  75,  1,  Jugurtha  arrived  at  Thala ,  a  large  town. 

1160.  When  merely  ‘  motion  towards  ’  or  ‘nearness’  is  meant,  ad  is  used:  as, 
tres  viae  sunt  ad  Mutinam,  Ph.  12,  22,  there  are  three  roads  to  Mntina.  mi¬ 
les  ad  Capuam  profectus  sum,  CM.  10,  I  went  to  the  war  as  a  private ,  to  the 
region  round  about  Capua. 

1161.  Proper  names  of  countries  are  also  sometimes  put  in  the  accusative  in  poe¬ 
try,  to  denote  aim  of  motion:  as,  abilt  Alidem,  PI.  Cap.  573,  he  went  away  to 
Elis.  So  in  prose  also,  Aegyptus  in  Cicero,  Caesar,  Nepos,  Livy,  and  Tacitus:  as, 
Germanicus  Aegyptum  proficiscitur,  Ta.  2,  59,  Germanicus  sets  out  for 
Egypt.  Rarely  and  in  poetry  names  of  peoples  :  as,  sitientls  Ibimus  Afros,  V. 
E.  1,  64,  to  thirst-parched  Afrians  we  shall  go.  In  general  the  accusative  of  country 
names  is  preceded  by  in  or  ad,  as  are  also  appellatives  regularly  in  prose  ;  but  in  poetry, 
even  appellatives  without  a  preposition  are  common. 

1162.  (2.)  The  accusatives  domum,  rus,  and  foras,  are  used  like 
proper  names  of  towns :  as, 

(a.)  eo  domum,  PI.  Mer.  659,  I'm  going  home,  equites  domum  con- 
tenderunt,  2,  24,  4,  the  cavalry  hurried  home,  domum  reditionis  spe  sub- 
lata,  1,5,3,  the  hope  of  a  return  home  being  out  of  the  question  ( 1 1 29).  (b.)  rus 

ibo,  T.  Eu.  216,  I  shall  go  out  of  town,  (c.)  effugi  foras,  T.  Eu.  945,  I  ran 
out  of  doors. 

1163.  The  singular  domum  is  always  retained  by  Caesar,  even  when  two  or 
more  separate  persons  or  parties  are  spoken  of.  Plautus  and  Sallust  have  the  plural 
domos  once  each,  and  Cicero  and  Livy  use  it  occasionally. 

1164.  The  accusative  domum  or  domos  sometimes  has  an  attribute,  usually  a 
possessive  pronoun  :  as,  domum  suam  quemque  revertl,  2,  10,  4, for  every  man 
to  go  back  to  his  home,  alius  alium  domos  s.uas  invitant,  S.  I.  66,  3,  they 
invite  each  other  to  their  homes,  aurum  domum  regiam  comportant,  S.  I. 
76,  6,  they  bring  all  the  gold  to  the  house  royal,  cum  domum  regis  devertis- 
ses,  D.  17,  when  you  went  to  stay  at  the  king's  palace.  The  preposition  in  is 
sometimes  used  when  the  attribute  is  a  genitive,  and  commonly  so  when  it  is  any 
adjective  but  a  possessive  pronoun. 

1165.  (3.)  In  old  Latin,  exsequias  and  infitias  are  also  used  with  eo, 
and  sometimes  malam  crucem  and  malam  rem,  though  these  last  more 
commonly  have  in  :  as, 

exsequias  Chremeti  ire,  T.  Ph.  1026,  to  go  to  Chromes' s  funeral,  ut 
eas  malam  crucem,  PI.  Men.  328,  that  thou  mayst  get  thee  to  the  accursed 
cross.  Later  writers,  as  Nepos,  Livy,  and  Quintilian,  use  infitias  eo  again, 
and,  from  Sallust  on,  venum  eo  and  venum  do  sometimes  occur  for  veneS 
and  vendo. 

1166.  With  the  accusative  in  -turn  (or  -sum),  called  the  supine,  the  idea  of 
‘aim’  passes  over  into  that  of  ‘  purpose  :  ’  as  militatum  abiit,  T.  Hau.  117,  die  ’s 
gone  away  a  soldiering  (2270).

TWO  ACCUSATIVES  COMBINED. 

Object  and  Predicate. 

1167.  Many  verbs  may  take  two  accusatives,  an 
object  and  a  predicate. 

Such  are  verbs  signifying  make ,  keep,  choose ,  name  or  call,  have,  think, 
recognize  or  find,  show  oneself,  &c.,  &c. :  as,  longiorem  mensem  faciunt, 
V.  2,  129,  they  make  the  month  longer,  eum  certiorem  faciunt,  5,  37,  7,  they 
let  him  know.  Ancum  Marcium  regem  populus  creavit,  I..  1,  32,  1 ,  the 
people  made  Aliens  Marcias  king.  me  cepere  arbitrum,  T.  Hau.  500, 
they've  chosen  me  as  referee.  Duellium  ‘  Bellium  ’  nominaverunt,  O.  153, 
Duellius  they  named  ‘  Beilins.'  vlcinam  Capreis  insulam  ‘  Apragopolim  ’ 
appellabat,  Suet.  Aug.  98,  the  island  next  to  Capreae  he  called  ‘  the  Castle 
of  Indolence.'  conlegas  acliutores  habebat,  Sest.  87,  he  had  his  colleagues 
as  assistants,  te  sapientem  existimant,  L.  6,  they  consider  you  a  sage. 
quem  virum  P.  Crassum  vidimus,  CM.  61,  what  a  man  we  saw  in  Crassus. 
severum  me  praebeo,  C.  4,  12,  /  show  myself  stern.  In  the  passive  both 
the  object  and  the  predicate  become  nominatives  :  as,  Caesar  certior  factus 
est,  3,  19,  5,  Caesar  was  informed. 

1168.  In  the  sense  of  consider  as  equivalent  to,  duc5  and  habeo,  less  fre¬ 
quently  put5,  have  the  ablative  with  prS.  Other  constructions  with  these  and  the 
above  verbs  may  be  found  in  the  dictionary. 


Person  and  Thing. 

1169.  (1.)  Some  verbs  of  teaching  and  hiding,  de¬ 
manding  and  questioning,  may  take  two  accusatives, 
one  of  a  person  and  one  of  a  thing. 

The  commonest  of  these  verbs  are  doceo  and  its  compounds,  and  celo  ; 
flagito,  5r5,  posco,  and  rogo,  interrogb.  The  thing  is  usually  the  neuter 
of  a  pronoun  or  enumerative  word  (1144)  :  as>  (a-)  peior  magister  te  istaec 
docuit,  non  ego,  PI.  B.  163,  a  worse  instructor  taught  thee  that,  not  /.  quid 
te  litteras  doceam  ?  Pis.  73,  whv  should  I  teach  you  your  A  B  C's?  (b.)  non 
te  celavl  sermonem  T.  Ampil,  Pam.  2,  16,  3,  I  have  not  kept  you  in  the 
dark  about  the  talk  with  Ampins.  (c.)  interim  cotidie  Caesar  Aeduos 
frumentum  flagitare,  1,  16,  I,  meantime  Caesar  every  day  a  dunning  the 
Aeduans  for  the  grain.  Milesios  navem  poposcit,  V.  1,  86,  he  called  on 
the  Miletus  people  for  a  vessel,  quid  me  istud  rogas  ?  Fin.  5,  83,  why  do  you 
ask  me  that  ?  Racilius  me  sententiam  rogavit,  QFr.  2,  1,  3,  Racilius  asked 
me  my  opinion. 

1170.  With  doceb,  meaning  inform ,  celo,  rogo,  and  interrogb,  the  ablative 
of  the  thing  with  de  is  also  used.  And  with  flagito  and  posco,  sometimes  the  abla¬ 
tive  of  the  person  with  ab,  with  celo  the  ablative  of  the  person  with  de. 

1171.  In  the  passive  the  person  becomes  the  subject,  and  the  accusative 
of  a  neuter  pronoun  or  adjective  is  retained  :  as, 

188 


The  Noun  :  Dative . 


[1172-1176. 


nosne  hoc  celatos  tam  diu,  T.  Hec.  645,  for  us  not  to  be  told  of  this  so 
long ;  rarely  with  reversed  construction  :  quor  haec  celata  me  sunt  ?  PI. 
Ps.  490,  why  was  this  hid  from  me  ?  Accusatives  of  appellatives  are  rare  : 
as,  omnis  militiae  artis  edoctus  fuerat,  L.  25,  37,  3,  he  had  been  thoroughly 
taught  all  the  arts  of  zuar.  interrogatus  sententiam,  L.  36,  7,  1,  being  asked 
his  opinion.  Other  constructions  of  doctus,  and  of  the  passive  of  celo, 
flagito,  posco,  rogd  and  interrogd,  may  be  found  in  the  dictionary. 

1172.  (2.)  Verbs  of  wishing,  reminding,  inducing,  and  accusing, 
and  some  others,  also  sometimes  take  an  accusative  of  the  person  and 
one  of  the  thing. 

Such  are  volo,  moneo  and  its  compounds,  hortor  and  cogo  ;  accus5, 
arguo,  insimulo,  obiurgS.  The  thing  is  usually  the  neuter  of  a  pronoun 
or  enumerative  word  (1144) :  as,  quid  me  voltis  ?  PI.  Mer.  868,  what  do yoic 
want  of  7ne  ?  illud  te  esse  admonitum  velim,  Cael.  8,  on  this  point  I  want 
you  to  be  reminded  (1171).  In  old  Latin,  accusatives  of  appellatives  also  are 
thus  used,  and  sometimes  also  with  dono  and  condono. 

1 173.  (3*)  The  defining  accusative  is  sometimes  combined  with  an  accusative  of 
the  person  :  as,  tam  te  basia  multa  basiare,  Cat.  7,  9,  thee  to  kiss  so  many  kisses 
(1140).  But  usually  with  an  accusative  of  the  person,  the  ablative  takes  the  place  of 
the  defining  accusative:  as,  odissem  te  odio  Vatiniano,  Cat.  14,  3,  I  should 
hate  thee  with  a  Vatinian  hate. 


Object  and  Extent,  Duration,  or  Aim. 

1174.  The  accusative  of  extent  or  duration,  or  of  aim  of  motion  is 
often  combined  with  that  of  the  object:  as, 

(<7.)  milia  passuum  decern  novem  murum  perducit,  1,  8,  1,  he  makes 
a  wall  nineteen  miles  (1151)-  matronae  annum  eum  luxerunt,  L.  2,  7,  4,  the 
married  women  wore  mourning  for  him  a  year  ( 1 1 51 ).  (b.)  Ancus  multi- 

tudinem  omnem  Romam  traduxit,  I,.  1,  33,  1,  Ancus  moved  the  whole 
population  over  to  Rome  (1157).  eos  domum  remittit,  4,  21,  6,  he  sends 
them  home  again  (1162).  For  other  combinations,  see  1138,  1198,  and  2270. 


- ♦ - 

THE  DATIVE. 

1175.  The  dative  denotes  that  for  or  to  which  a  thing  is  or 
is  done,  and  either  accompanies  single  words,  such  as  verbs, 
adjectives,  sometimes  adverbs,  rarely  substantives,  or  serves  to 
modify  the  entire  sentence.  It  has  two  principal  uses. 

1176.  I.  The  dative  is  used  as  a  complement.  Complements  may  be 
roughly  distinguished  as  essential  or  optional.  But  these  two  complements 
are  not  always  separated  by  a  sharp  line,  and  the  same  dative  may  sometimes 
be  referred  indifferently  to  either  head. 

189 


1 1 7  7- 1  i  8 1 .]  Sentences :  The  Simple  Sentence . 


1177.  (1.)  The  Essential  Complement  is  a  dative  of  the 
person  or  thing  added  to  an  idea  which  is  felt  as  incomplete 
without  the  dative  (1180). 

Thus,  paret,  he  is  obedient,  is  a  statement  which  is  felt  as  incomplete 
without  a  dative  added  to  denote  what  it  is  he  is  obedient  to,  in  the  sentence 
paret  senatui,  he  is  obedient  to  the  senate.  But  when  stress  is  put  on  the 
action  merely,  without  reference  to  its  bearing,  such  a  verb  may  be  used 
without  a  dative  :  as,  paret,  he  is  obedient ,  he  yields  obedience. 

1178.  (2.)  The  Optional  Complement,  that  is,  the  dative 
of  interest,  advantage,  or  disadvantage,  adds  something  to  an 
idea  that  is  already  complete  in  itself  (1205). 

Thus,  carmina  cant5,  I  chant  verses,  is  a  statement  entirely  complete  in 
itself;  it  may  be  modified  or  not,  at  option,  by  a  dative,  thus  :  carmina  vir- 
ginibus  puerisque  canto,  verses  for  maids  and  boys  I  chant. 

1179.  II.  The  dative  of  certain  substantives  is  used  predicatively  (1219). 


I.  THE  COMPLEMENTARY  DATIVE. 

(1.)  THE  ESSENTIAL  COMPLEMENT. 

The  Dative  with  Verbs. 

1180.  Many  verbs  require  a  dative  to  complete 
their  meaning. 

With  Verbs  of  Intransitive  Use. 

1181.  (1.)  Many  verbs  of  intransitive  use,  particularly  such 
as  denote  a  state,  disposition,  feeling,  or  quality,  take  the  da¬ 
tive  :  as, 

quodne  vobls  placeat,  displiceat  mihl  ?  PI.  MG.  614,  shall  that  which 
pleases  you,  displeasing  be  to  me  l  si  Asicid  causa  plus  profuit  quam  invi- 
dia  nocuit,  Cael.  23,  if  his  case  has  been  more  helpful  to  Asicius  than  the 
hostility  has  been  damaging,  imperat  aut  servit  collecta  pecunia  cuique,

bat  maxime,  1,  40,  15,  Caesar  trusted  this  legion  most  of  all.  an  C.  Trebo- 
ni5  ego  persuasi?  cui  ne  suadere  quidem  ausus  essem,  Ph.  2,  2 7,  or 
was  it  I  that  brought  conviction  to  Trebonius  ?  a  man  to  whom  I  should  not  have 
presumed  even  to  offer  advice.  In  the  passive,  such  verbs  are  used  impersonally, 
the  dative  remaining  (1034) ;  personal  constructions  are  rare  and  poetical.

The  Noun :  Dative. 


[i  182-1 189. 


1182.  This  dative  is  used  with  such  verbs  or  verbal  expressions  as  mean 
am  pleasing  or  displeasing,  helpful  or  injurious ,  command ,  yield ,  or  am  obedi¬ 
ent,  am  friendly,  partial,  or  opposed ;  spare,  pardon,  threaten,  trust ,  advise, 
persuade,  happen,  meet.  But  the  English  translation  is  not  a  safe  guide: 
many  of  the  verbs  used  with  a  dative  are  represented  transitively  in  English  ; 
and  some  verbs  of  the  meanings  above  are  used  transitively  in  Latin  :  as, 
delects,  iuvS,  laedo,  &c.,  &c. 

1183.  The  dative  is  rarely  used  with  a  form  of  sum  and  a  predicate  noun  correj 
sponding  in  meaning  with  the  verbs  above  (1181)  :  as,  quid  mihi  scelesto  tibl 
erat  auscultatiS?  PI.  R.  502,  i.  e.  quid  tib!  auscultabam  ?  why  did  I,  ill- 
starred  wretch,  lend  ear  to  thee ?  qui  studiosus  rei  null!  aliaest,  PI.  MG. 
802,  i.  e.  qui  studet,  who  lends  his  sold  to  nothing  else.  Or  immediately  with  a 
noun  :  as,  servitus  opulento  homini,  PI.  Am.  166,  slavery  to  a  millionaire . 
optemperatiS  legibus,  Leg.  1,  42,  obedience  to  the  laws.  aemula  labra 
rosis,  Mart.  4,  42,  10,  lips  rivalling  the  rose. 

1184.  Some  verbs  have  a  variable  use  without  any  difference  of  meaning:  thus, 
curd,  decet,  and  vitS,  have  sometimes  the  dative  in  old  Latin,  but  usually  the  accu¬ 
sative.  In  Cicero,  adulor  has  the  accusative;  from  Nepos  on,  the  dative  as  well, 
medeor,  medicor,  and  praestolor  take  either  the  accusative  or  the  dative. 

1185.  Some  verbs  have  an  accusative  with  one  meaning,  a  dative  of  the  complement, 
essential  or  optional,  with  another:  see  aemulor,  caveo,  comitor,  consuls,  con- 
veniS,  cupiS,  desperS,  maneS,  metuS,  moderor,  prSspiciS,  tempers, 
timeS,  and  the  different  uses  of  invideS,  in  the  dictionary. 

1186.  In  poetry,  verbs  of  union,  of  contention,  and  of  difference,  often  take  a 
dative:  as,  (a.)  haeret  later!  letalis  harundS,  V.  4,  73,  sticks  to  her  side  the 
deadly  shaft.  So  with  coeS,  concurrS,  haereS,  and  similarly  with  iungS,  mis- 
ceo.  (b.)  quid  enim  contendat  hirundS  cycnis  ?  Lucr.  3,  6, for  how  can 
swallow  cope  with  swans ?  So  with  bellS,  certS,  contends,  pugnS.  (c.)  in- 
fidS  scurrae  distabit  amicus,  H.  E.  1,  18,  4,  a  friend  will  differ  from  a 
faithless  hanger-on.  So  with  differs,  discrepS,  dissentio,  distS. 

1187.  A  verb  often  takes  the  dative,  when  combined  with  adversum, 
obviam,  or  praestS,  also  with  bene,  male,  or  satis,  and  the  like  :  as, 

fit  ob  viam  ClodiS,  Mil.  29 ,he  runs  across  Clodius.  cui  bene  dixit  um- 
quam  bonS  ?  Sest.  no,  for  what  patriot  had  he  ever  a  good  word  ?  nSs,  viri 
fortes,  satis  facere  r£i  publicae  videmur,  C.  1,  2,  we  doughty  champions 
flatter  ourselves  we  are  doing  our  rvhole  duty  by  the  state.  Similarly  with  verbs 
of  transitive  use. 

1188.  (2.)  Many  verbs  of  intransitive  use  compounded  with 
a  preposition  take  a  dative  connected  in  sense  with  the  preposi¬ 
tion  :  as, 

manus  extrema  nSn  accessit  operibus  eius,  Br.  126,  the  last  touch 
was  not  put  upon  his  works,  omnibus  adfuit  his  pugnis  Dolabella,  Ph.  2, 
7  5,  Dolabella  was  on  hand  in  all  these  battles.  pontS  nox  incubat  atra,  V. 
I,  89,  over  the  deep,  night  broodeth  black.  cSgnitiSnibus  de  Christianis 
interfui  numquam,  Plin.  Ep.  ad  Trai.  96  [97],  I,  I  have  never  been  to  any 
of  the  trials  of  the  Christians. 

n8g.  The  prepositions  are  chiefly  ad,  ante,  com-,  in,  inter,  ob,  prae, 
sub,  or  super.  In  many  compounds  of  these  prepositions,  however,  the  da¬ 
tive  is  due  to  the  general  meaning  of  the  verb,  as  in  confidit  mihi,  he  puts 
all  trust  in  me  (1181),  as  contrasted  with  consentit  mih!,  he  feels  with  me, 
nearly  equivalent  to  sentit  mecum  (1188).

1190-1196.]  Sentences:  The  Simple  Sentence. 


ngo.  Instead  of  the  dative,  such  verbs  often  have  a  prepositional  con* 
struction,  particularly  when  place,  literal  or  figurative,  is  distinctly  to  be 
expressed:  as, 

accedere  in  funus,  Leg.  2,  66,  to  go  to  a  funeral,  in  morbum  incidit, 
Clu.  175,  he  fell  ill. 

1191.  Some  verbs  of  intransitive  use  take,  when  compounded,  either  the  dative  or 
the  accusative.  See  adiaced,  antecedd,  anteed,  praecurro,  praesto,  incedo, 
inludo,  insulto,  invads,  in  the  dictionary.  And  some  compounds  acquire  a 
transitive  use  altogether,  as  obeo,  oppugnS  :  see  1137. 


With  Verbs  of  Transitive  Use. 

1192.  (1.)  Many  verbs  of  transitive  use  take  the  dative  :  as, 

€i  filiam  suam  in  matrimSnium  dat,  1,  3,  5,  he  gives  this  person  his  own 
daughter  in  marriage,  decima  legiS  61  gratias  egit,  I,  41,  I,  the  tenth  le¬ 
gion  gave  him  thanks  huic  fert  subsidium  Pulio,  5,  44,  13,  to  him  Pulio 
brings  aid.  multis  idem  minatur  Antonius,  Ph.  11,  2,  to  many  Antony 
threatens  the  same,  rlliqui  sese  fugae  mandarunt,  1,  12,  3,  the  rest  betook 
themselves  to  flight,  commends  vSbis  meum  parvum  filium,  C.  4,  23,  unto 
your  keeping  do  I  commit  the  little  son  of  mine,  multi  se  alienissimis  credi- 
derunt,  6,  31,  4,  many  people  put  themselves  in  the  hands  of  titter  strangers. 
equites  imperat  civitatibus,  6,  4,  6,  he  issues  orders  to  the  communities  for 
horse. 

1193.  This  dative  is  used  with  such  verbs  as  dS,  tradS,  tribuS,  divido, 
ferS,  praebeS,  praestS,  polliceor,  promittS,  debeS,  negS,  mSnstrS,  dicS, 
narrS,  mandS,  praecipiS,  &c.,  &c.  In  the  passive  construction,  the  accusa¬ 
tive  becomes  nominative,  the  dative  remaining. 

1194.  (2.)  Many  verbs  of  transitive  use  compounded  with  a 
preposition  take  a  dative  connected  in  sense  with  the  preposi¬ 
tion  :  as, 

nihil  novi  vSbis  adferam,  RP.  1,  21, 1  shall  not  lay  any  novelty  before 
you.  leges  omnium  salutem  singulSrum  saluti  anteponunt,  Fin.  3,  64, 
the  law  always  puts  the  general  safety  before  the  safety  of  the  individual.  timS- 
rem  bonis  iniecistis,  Agr.  1,  23,  you  have  struck  terror  into  the  hearts  of 
patriots.  nSluerunt  feris  corpus  obicere,  RA.  71,  they  would  not  cast  his 
person  before  ravenous  beasts,  neminem  huic  praefero,  N.  8,  1,  1,  there  is 
nobody  I  put  before  him.  hibernis  Labienum  praeposuit,  1,  54,  2,  he  put 
Labienus  over  the  winter-quarters,  anitum  Sva  gallinis  saepe  suppSnimus, 
DN.  2,  124,  we  often  put  ducks'  eggs  under  hens. 

1195.  The  prepositions  are  circum,  de,  ex,  post,  or  those  named  in 
1189.  In  many  compounds  of  transitive  use,  however,  the  dative  is  due  to 
the  general  meaning  of  the  verb,  as  with  those  spoken  of  in  1189. 

1196.  With  these  verbs,  a  prepositional  construction  is  often  used,  as 
with  the  verbs  of  intransitive  use  (1190):  as, 

iam  diu  nihil  novi  ad  nds  adferebatur,  Fam.  2,  14,  no  news  has  got  to 
us  this  long  time.  For  compounds  of  circum  and  trans  with  twro  accusa* 
tives,  see  1138. 


192 


The  Noun  :  Dative. 


[i  197-1204. 


1197.  Verbs  of  transitive  use  compounded  with  com-  have  oftener  the  ablative 
with  cum:  as,  conferte  hanc  pacem  cum  ill5  bellS,  V.  4,  1 15,  just  compare 
this  peace  with  that  war.  See  also  in  the  dictionary,  coniungb  and  compono; 
also  the  indirect  compounds  comparo,  compare ,  from  compar,  and  communico. 

1198.  With  a  few  compounds  of  ad  or  in,  a  second  accusative  is  exceptionally 
used:  as,  arbitrum  ilium  adegit,  Off.  3,  66,  he  had  the  other  man  up  before 
a  daysman.  So  with  inmitto,  PI.  Cap.  54S,  insinuo,  Lucr.  1,  116,  &c.,  &c. 
Regularly  with  animum  adverto :  as,  animum  advert!  columellam,  TD. 
5,  65,  /  noticed  a  modest  shaft,  qua  re  animum  adversa,  Caes.  C.  1,  So,  4, 
this  fact  being  paid  heed  to:  compare  113S. 

ngg.  A  few  compound  verbs  admit  either  the  dative  of  the  person  or  thing  and 
accusative  of  the  thing,  or  the  accusative  of  the  person  or  thing  and  ablative  of  the 
thing;  such  are  adspergo  and  inspergo,  circumdd,  circumfundo,  exu5  and 
induo,  impertiS,  intercludb;  also  the  uncompounded  don5  :  as,  praedam 
militibus  donat,  7,  11,  9,  he  presents  the  booty  to  the  soldiers,  scribam  tuum 
anulo  donasti,  V.  3,  1S5,  you  presented  your  clerk  with  a  ring.  For  the  differ¬ 
ent  constructions  of  iriterdico,  see  the  dictionary. 


The  Dative  with  Adjectives. 

1200.  The  dative  with  many  adjectives  and  some 
adverbs  denotes  that  to  which  the  quality  is  directed. 

Such  have  the  meaning  of  useful,  necessary,  fit,  easy,  agreeable,  known , 
near,  belonging,  friendly,  faithful ,  like,  and  most  of  their  opposites ;  the 
adjective  is  often  predicative:  as,  ver  utile  silvis  (1036),  V.  G.  2,  323,  the 
spring  is  good  for  woods,  est  senator!  necessarium  nosse  rem  publicam, 
Leg.  3,  4 1 ,  for  a  senator  it  is  indispensable  to  be  conversant  with  government. 
orationis  genus  pompae  quam  pugnae  aptius,  O.  42,  a  style  better  suited 
to  the  parade  than  to  the  field,  convenienter  naturae  vivere,  Off.  3,  13,  to 
live  in  tojich  with  nature. 

1201.  Some  adjectives  of  this  class  have  the  dative  of  a  person,  the  accusative 
with  ad  of  a  thing:  so  accommodatus,  aptus,  idoneus,  necessarius,  and 
utilis ;  _anj!  some  denoting  feeling  have  also  the  accusative  with  a  preposition  :  ae- 
quus,  iniquus,  fidelis  with  in,  benevolus  with  erga,  and  impius  with 
adversus.  propior  and  proximus  sometimes  accompany  an  accusative,  like 
prope,  propius,  and  proxime. 

1202.  The  adjectives  communis,  proprius  or  alienus,  sacer,  t5tus, 

often  accompany  the  construction  of  the  genitive  of  the  owner :  see  1238.  For 
alienus  with  the  ablative,  see  1306.  Sometimes  alienus  has  the  ablative  with  ab. 

1203.  Some  adjectives  denoting  relationship,  connection,  friendship  or 
hostility,  become  substantives,  and  as  such,  admit  the  genitive  also  (1103)  : 
such  are  {a.)  adfinis,  cognatus  ;  f b.)  aequalis,  familiaris,  finitimus,  par 
and  dispar,  propinquus,  vicinus  ;  (c.)  adversarius,  amicus,  inimicus,  ne¬ 
cessarius. 

1204.  Tn  Plautus  and  Terence,  similis,  the  like ,  the  counterpart ,  and  its  com¬ 
pounds,  regularly  take  the  genitive.  The  dative,  as  well  as  the  genitive,  is  also  used 
from  Ennius  on,  particularly  of  a  limited  or  approximate  likeness :  see  the  dictionary.

1 205-1 2 1  o.]  Sentences :  The  Simple  Sentence. 


(2.)  THE  OPTIONAL  COMPLEMENT. 

1205.  The  dative  of  a  person  or  thing  interested, 
benefited,  harmed,  may  be  added  at  option  to  almost 
any  verb  :  as, 

conservate  parent!  fllium,  parentem  filio,  Cael.  80,  save  the  son  for  the 
father,  the  father  for  the  son.  mea  domus  tib!  patet,  mihi  clausa  est,  RA. 
145,  the  very  house  I  own  is  open  for  you,  is  shut  upon  me.  cui  flavam  religas 
comam,  simplex  munditiis  ?  H.  1,  5,  4 ,for  whom  bind’st  thou  in  wreaths 
thy  golden  hair,  plain  in  thy  neatness  ?  non  auderet  facere  haec  viduae 
mulieri,  quae  in  me  fecit,  T.  Hau.  953,  he  durst  not  to  an  unprotected  female 
do  what  he  hath  done  towards  me. 

I2o5.  The  place  of  a  verb  with  the  dative  of  interest  is  sometimes  filled  by  an 
interjection,  ecce,  ei,  em,  or  vae  :  as,  ei  mihi  qualis  erat,  E.  1,  7,  V.  2,  274, 
ah  me,  how  ghastly  he  did  look,  vae  victis,  PI.  Ps.  1317,  said  by  Urennus, 
390  b.c.,  L.  5,  48,  9,  woe  worth  the  worsted,  vae  capitl  atque  aetati  tuae, 
PI.  R.  375,  a  murrain  on  thy  head  and  life. 

1207.  The  dative  is  often  added  to  the  entire  sentence,  where 
either  a  genitive  or  a  possessive  pronoun  limiting  a  substantive  might 
be  used. 

In  such  cases  the  dative  expresses  interest,  advantage,  or  disadvantage, 
while  the  genitive  would  simply  indicate  the  owner  or  the  object :  as, 
transfigitur  scutum  Pulioni,  5,  44,  7,  unfortunately  for  Pulio,_  his  shield 
gets  pierced  through  and  through,  militantl  in  Hispania  pater  61  moritur, 
L.  29,  29,  6,  while  serving  in  Spain  he  had  the  misfortune  to  lose  his  father. 
huic  ego  me  bell5  ducem  profiteor,  C.  2,  11, 1  here  proclaim  myself  captain 
for  this  war.  sese  Caesari  ad  pedes  prdiecerunt,  1,  31,  2,  they  cast  them¬ 
selves  at  Caesar’s  feet,  nostris  militibus  spem  minuit,  5,  33,  5,  it  dashed 
the  hopes  of  ozir  soldiers,  exterge  tibi  manus,  PI.  Most.  267,  wipe  off  thy 
hands,  vellunt  tibi  barbam  lascivi  pueri,  H.  S.  1,  3,  133,  the  wanton 
gamins  pull  thy  beard,  poor  soul. 

1208.  This  dative  is  sometimes  detached  from  the  verb,  and  used  immediately 
with  a  substantive,  instead  of  the  genitive:  as,.  PhilocSmasiS  custos,  PI.  MG. 
271,  the  keeper  for  Philocomasium.  rector  iuveni,  Ta.  t,  24,  a  mentor  for  the 
young  man.  So  particularly  with  a  gerundive  in  official  expressions:  as,  curator 
muris  reficiendis,  OG.  19,  commissioner  for  rebuilding  the  walls. 

1209.  Verbs  of  warding  off  sometimes  take  a  dative,  especially  in.  poetry,  alsp 
those  of  robbing  and  ridding :  as,  («.)  hunc  quoque  arcebis  gravido  pecorl, 
V.  (7.  3,  1^4,  him  also  wilt  thou  for  the  pregnant  herd  keep  far .  solstitium 
pecori  defendite,  V.  E.  7,  47,  the  summer's  heat  keep  distant  for  the  flock, 
(b.)  torquem  detraxit  host!,  Fin.  1,  35,  he  pulled  a  torque  away  from  his  enemy. 
eripies  mih!  hunc  errorem,  Ail.  10,  4,  6,  you  will  rid  me  of  this  mistake. 

1210.  With  verbs  of  motion  the  dative  of  the  person  interested  denotes  in  poetry 
the  end  of  motion  also :  as,  multos  Danaum  demittimus  Oreo,  V.  2,  398,  we 
send  down  many  a  Danaan  for  the  nether  king.  So  also  the  dative  of  personified 
words  of  place:  as,  it  clamor  caelS,  V.  5,  451,  uf  goes  a  shout  for  heaven ,  i.  e. 
heaven  hears  a  shout,  sedibus  hunc  refer  ante  suis,  V.  6,  152, first  bear  him 
duly  to  his  place  of  rest ,  i.  e.  let  his  expectant  grave  receive  him.

The  Noun  :  Dative . 


[1211-1216. 


The  Emotional  Dative. 

1211.  The  dative  of  the  personal  pronoun  is  often  used  with 
expressions  of  emotion,  interest,  surprise,  or  derision  :  as, 

quid  mihi  Celsus  agit  ?  H.  E.  1,  3,  15,  how  fares  me  Celsus  ?  Tongi- 
lium  mihi  eduxit,  C.  2, 4,  he  took  out  Tongilius ,  bless  my  soul,  at  tib!  repente, 
cum  minime  exspectarem,  venit  ad  me  Caninius  mane,  Fain.  9,  2,  1, 
but  bless  you,  sir,  when  I  least  dreamt  of  it,  who  should  drop  in  on  me  all  at 
once  but  Caninius,  bright  and  early. 


Tiie  Dative  of  the  Possessor. 

1212.  The  dative  is  used  with  forms  of  sum  to 
denote  the  possessor :  as, 

est  homini  cum  de5  similitudo,  Leg.  I,  25,  man  has  a  resemblance  to 
god.  an  nescis  longas  regibus  esse  mantis  ?  O.  E.  16,  166,  dost  possibly 
not  know  kings  have  long  arms  ?  suos  cuique  mos,  T.  Ph.  454,  to  every  man 
his  own  pet  way.  So  also  with  the  compounds  absum,  desum,  supersum  : 
as,  hoc  unum  Caesar!  defuit,  4,  26,  5,  this  was  all  Caesar  lacked. 

1213.  (1.)  With  mihi  est  nomen,  the  name  is  put  either 
in  the  dative  or  in  the  nominative :  as, 

mihi  nomen  est  IuliS,  or  mihi  nomen  est  Iulius,  Cell.  15,  29,  1,  my 
name  is  Julius.  In  old  Latin  and  in  Sallust,  the  dative :  as,  nomen  Mercu- 
riost  mihi,  PI.  Am.  prol.  19,  my  name  is  Mercury;  later  the  nominative:  as, 
canibus  pigris  nomen  erit  Pardus,  Tigris,  Leo,  J.  8,  34,  the  craven  cur 
shall  sport  the  name  of  ‘  Lion,  Tiger,  Pard.'  Cicero  uses  either  the  dative  or 
the  nominative,  Livy  oftener  the  dative  than  the  nominative.  Tacitus  puts 
adjectives  in  the  dative,  substantives  in  the  nominative,  rarely  in  the  genitive. 
Caesar  does  not  use  the  construction. 

1214.  (2.)  With  the  actives  nomen  do,  indo,  pono,  tribub,  &c.,  the  name 
may  be  in  the  dative  or  in  the  accusative ;  with  the  passive  of  these  expres¬ 
sions,  the  name  may  be  in  the  dative  or  in  the  nominative  :  as, 

qui  tibi  nomen  insanS  posuere,  H.  S.  2,  3,  47,  who’ve  put  on  thee  the 
nickname  Crank,  qui  filiis  Philippum  atque  Alexandrum  nomina  inpo- 

suerat,  L.  35,  47,  5,  70  ho  had  given  his  sons  the  names  Philip  and  Alexander. 
A  genitive  dependent  on  nomen  is  used  once  by  Tacitus  and  in  very  late 
Latin. 

1215.  With  a  gerundive,  the  dative  of  the  possessor  denotes  the  person  who  has 
the  action  to  do  :  see  2243.  For  the  ablative  with  ab,  or  for  habeo,  see  2243,  2245. 

1216.  This  dative  is_sometimes  used  with  the  perfect  participle,  and  the  tenses 
formed  with  it  :  as,  mihi  est  elaboratum,  Caecil.  40,  1  have  it  all  worked  out. 
carmina  nulla  mihi  sunt  scripta,  O.  Tr.  5,  12,  35,  no  poetry  have  I  ready

vivere  carmina  possunt,  quae  scribuntur  aquae  potdribus,  H.  E.  i,  19, 
2,  no  verse  can  take  or  be  longlived  that  by  teetotallers  is  writ.

1217-1222.]  Sentences :  The  Simple  Sentence. 


The  Dative  of  Relation. 

1217.  The  dative  may  denote  the  person  viewing  or  judging:  as, 

eris  mihi  magnus  Apollo,  V.  E.  3,  104,  thou  shalt  to  me  the  great  Apollo 
be.  Quintia  fdrmSsa  est  multis,  mihi  Candida,  longa,  recta  est,  Cat. 
86,  I,  in  many  eyes  is  Quintia  fab',  to  me  she  's  bonny ,  tall,  and  straight.  From 
Caesar  on,  participles  are  often  used  to  denote  the  person  viewing  or  judg¬ 
ing  :  as,  est  urbe  egressis  tumulus,  V.  2,  713,  there  is,  as  you" get  out  of  town, 
a  mound,  in  universum  aestimanti,  Ta.  G.  6,  looking  at  it  generally. 

1218.  In  imitation  of  a  Greek  idiom,  volens,  cupiens,  or  invitus,  is  used  by 
Sallust  and  Tacitus  in  agreement  with  a  dative  dependent  on  a  form  of  sum,  the 
combination  being  equivalent  to  a  subject  with  a  form  of  void,  CUpiS,  or  invitus 
sum,  respectively:  as,  ceteris  remanere  volentibus  fuit,  Ta.  H.  3,  43,  i.e. 
ceteri  remanere  voluerunt,  the  rest  were  minded  to  bide  where  they  were . 
Once  in  Livy. 


II.  THE  PREDICATIVE  DATIVE. 

The  Dative  of  Tendency  or  Result. 

1219.  (1.)  Certain  datives  are  used  with  a  form  of 
sum  to  denote  what  a  thing  tends  to,  proves,  or  is. 
This  dative  is  generally  accompanied  by  a  dative  of  the 
person  interested :  as, 

auxilio  is  fuit,  PI.  Am.  prol.  92,  he  was  a  help  to  them,  odio  sum  R5- 
manis,  L.  35,  19,  6,  I  am  an  abomination  in  the  eyes  of  Rome,  potestne 
bonum  cuiquam  mal5  esse  ?  Par.  7,  can  good  prove  bad  for  any  human 
•being?  L.  Cassius  identidem  quaerere  solebat,  cui  bono  fuisset,  RA. 
>84,  Cassius  used  to  ask  for  ever  and  ever,  who  the  person  benefited  was,  or  who 
tthe  gainer  was.  nemini  meus  adventus  labor!  aut  sumptui  fuit,  V.  1, 
16,  my  visit  did  not  prove  a  bother  or  an  expense  to  a  sold,  res  et  fortunae 
tuae  mih!  maximae  curae  sunt,  Earn.  6,  5,  1,  your  money-matters  are  an. 
all-absorbing  interest  to  me. 

1220.  There  are  many  of  these  datives,  mostly  abstracts  and  all  singular  ;  some 
of  the  commonest  are  curae,  usui,  praesidid,  cordi,  odio,  auxilio,  impedi¬ 
ments,  saluti,  voluptati.  The  adjectives  magnus,  maior,  maximus,  or 
tantus  and  quantus,  are  sometimes  used  in  agreement  with  them  ;  and  the  dative 
frugi  sometimes  has  bonae. 

1221.  Instead  of  the  dative  of  tendency,  a  predicative  nominative  or  accusative  is 
rarely  used  :  thus,  possessionem  liberam  Dardaniae  solacid  fore,  L.  40, 
57,  9,  that  the  unrestricted  occupancy  of  Dardania  would  prove  comforting,  but, 
domestica  quies  sSlacium  fuit,  L.  6,  30,9,  the  peace  that  prevailed  at  home 
was  a  solid  comfort.  Prepositional  expressions  with  pr5  and  in  also  occur. 

1222.  (2.)  The  dative  is  also  used  with  a  few  verbs  of  consider¬ 
ing  or  accounting  to  denote  what  a  thing  is  accounted. 


The  Noun :  Genitive. 


[i  223-1 227. 


So  with  such  verbs  as  do,  duco,  habe5,  tribuo,  and  verto:  as,  vitio 
mih!  dant,  quod  mortem  hominis  necessarii  graviter  fero,  Matius  in 
Fam.  11,  2S,  2,  the  world  scores  it  against  me  that  /  take  the  murder  of  a  near 
and  dear  friend  to  heart .  postquam  paupertas  probrS  haberi  coepit, 

S.  C.  12,  1,  after  lack  of  wealth  began  to  count  as  a  stigma. 

The  Dative  of  Purpose  or  Intention. 

1223.  A  few  datives  are  used  to  denote  what  a  thing  is  intendet 
to  be.  This  dative  is  generally  accompanied  by  a  dative  of  the  person 
interested. 

So  (a.)  don5  and  muneri:  as,  emit  earn  d5n5  mih!,  T.  Eu.  135,  he 
bought  her  as  a  gift  forme,  centum  boves  militibus  dono  dedit,  L.  7,  37,  3, 
he  gave  the  soldiers  a  hundred  oxen  as  a  present.  Also  (b.)  auxilio,  praesidiS, 
and  subsidio,  used  of  military  operations,  chiefly  with  verbs  of  motion  :  as, 
ii,  qui  praesidiS  contra  castra  erant  relicti,  subsidid  suis  ierunt,  7,  62,  8, 
the  men  that  had  been  left  as  a  protection  against  the  camp ,  went  as  a  rein¬ 
forcement  to  their  own  side. 

1224.  For  the  datives  don5  and  muneri,  a  predicative  nominative  or  accusative 
is  sometimes  used:  as,  coronam  Iovi  donum  in  capitolium  mittunt,  L.  2, 
22,  6,  they  send  a  crown  t)  the  capitol  as  a  present  for  Jupiter.  Prepositional 
expressions  are  also  used  for  auxilio,  &c. :  as.  ad  praesidium,  L.  3,  5,  3,  in 
praesidium,  L.  31,  16,  7,  for  protection ,  auxilii  causa,  L.  2,  24,  4,  to  help. 

1225.  The  dative  receptui  is  also  used  in  military  language  to  denote  purpose: 
as,  Caesar  receptui  cani  iussit,  7,47,  1,  Caesar  ordered  the  retreat  sounded. 
Quinctius  receptui  canere  iussit,  L.  34,  39,  13.  This  dative  is  sometimes  at¬ 
tached  immediately  to  a  substantive  :  as,  receptui  signum,  Ph.  13,  15,  the  trumpet 
for  retreat. 


THE  GENITIVE. 

1226.  The  genitive  is  principally  used  with  nouns,  less  fre¬ 
quently  with  verbs.  Sometimes  even  when  it  seems  to  be  de¬ 
pendent  on  a  verb,  it  really  depends  on  a  substantive  understood, 
or  on  a  noun  virtually  contained  or  implied  in  the  verb.  Some 
verbs  require  an  accusative  also,  in  addition  to  the  genitive. 


I.  THE  GENITIVE  WITH  SUBSTANTIVES. 

1227.  A  substantive  is  often  limited  by  another 
substantive  in  the  genitive. 

The  things  denoted  by  the  two  words  are  usually  distinct :  as,  metus 
hostium,  the  fear  of  the  enemy ,  i.  e.  either  (a.)  which  they  feel  (1231),  or 
(b.)  which  is  felt  towards  them  (1260);  magni  ponderis  saxa,  stones  of 
great  weight  (1239).  Sometimes,  however,  they  are  more  or  less  the  same  : 
as,  militum  pars ,  part  of  the  soldiers  (1242);  magna  multitudS  perdito- 
rum  hominum,  a  perfect  swarm  of  desperadoes  (1255). 

197 


1228-1233-]  Sentences:  The  Simple  Sentence, 


1228.  Two  or  even  three  genitives  expressing  different  relations,  sometimes  limit 
one  substantive :  as,  superi5rum  dierum  Sabin!  cunctatid,  3, 18,  6,  Sabinus's 
dilatorijiess  in  days  preceding,  eorum  dierum  consuetudine  itineris  no- 
stri  exercitus  perspecta,  2,  17,  2,  studying  up  the  order  of  march  followed  by 

our  army  in  those  days. 

I22Q.  The  limited  substantive  is  often  omitted,  when  it  is  obvious  from  the  con¬ 
text:  as,  ventum  erat  ad  Vestae,  sc.  aedem,  H.  S.  1,  9,35,  to  Vesta's  were 
we  come ,  i.  e.  to  her  temple,  aberam  bidui,  sc.  iter,  Att.  5, 17,  1,  I  was  two  days 
distant.  Usually  so,  when  it  is  expressed  with  another  genitive,  which  generally 
precedes:  as,  quis  est,  qui  possit  cbnferre  vitam  Trebdnii  cum  Dola- 
bellae  ?  Ph.  11,  9,  who  is  there  that  can  compare  the  life  of  Trebonius  with 
Dolabella' s? 

1230.  Instead  of  the  genitive  depending  on  a  substantive,  an  equivalent 
adjective  or  a  prepositional  expression  is  often  used.  Such  substitutions 
will  be  mentioned  below  in  their  appropriate  places. 

1231.  The  relations  expressed  by  the  limiting  genitive  vary  very  much 
according  to  the  context.  These  relations  may  be  put  in  classes,  as  below 
(1232-1260).  But  it  must  be  remembered  that  as  the  genitive  connects  sub¬ 
stantives  in  a  loose  way,  the  same  construction  may  sometimes  be  referred 
to  more  than  one  head. 

The  Genitive  of  the  Subject,  Cause,  Origin,  or 

Owner. 

1232.  (1.)  The  genitive  is  used  to  denote  that  which  does 
the  action,  or  which  causes,  originates,  or  possesses  the  object 
designated  by  the  substantive  it  limits  :  as, 

metus  hostium,  Gell.  9,  12,  13,  the  fear  of  the  enemy,  i.  e.  which  they  feel, 
adventus  Caesaris,  6,  41,  4,  the  arrival  of  Caesar,  bellum  Venetorum,  3, 
16,  1,  the  war  with  the  Venetans.  illud  Solonis,  CM.  50,  Solon's  memorable 
words.  Canachi  signa,  Br.  70,  statues  bv  Canachus.  Cupidinis  signum, 
^•4,  !35>  the  statue  representing  Cupid,  huius  signis,  V.  3,  9,  with  statues 
belonging  to  this  man.  pacem  Ariovisti,  I,  37,  2,  a  peaceful  policy  on  Ario- 
vistus's  part.  Cannarum  pugna,  L.  23,  43,  4,  the  battle  of  Cannae  (1427). 
abaci  vasa  omnia,  V.  4,  35,  all  the  vessels  on  the  sideboard,  pridie  eius  die!, 
1,  47,  2,  the  day  before  that  day  ( 1413).  labrbrum  tenus,  Lucr.  1, 940,  the  length 
of  the  lips  ( 1420). 

1233.  Instead  of  the  genitive,  an  adjective  is  often  used  to  express 
such  relations  ;  less  frequently  a  prepositional  construction  :  as, 

(a.)  odium  paternum,  N.  23,  1,  3,  the  hatred  felt  by  his  father,  servili 
tumultu,  1,  40,  5,  in  the  slave  insurrection,  bello  Cassianb,  1,  13,  2,  in  the 
war  with  Cassius,  illud  Cassianum,  cui  bono  fuerit,  Ph.  2,  35,  Cassius's 
test  question ,  ‘  who  the  gainer  was.'  erilis  patria,  PI.  B.  170,  my  master's 
birthplace,  intra  domesticos  parietes,  C.  2,  I ,  within  the  walls  of  our  houses. 
So  usually  with  names  of  countries  and  of  towns  :  as,  anus  Corinthia,  T. 
Hau.  600,  an  old  woman  of  Corinth,  pugna  Cannensis,  L.  22,  50,  I,  the 
battle  of  Cajtnae.  Often  in  a  generalizing  sense :  as,  paternus  maternus- 
que  sanguis,  BA.  66,  the  blood  of  a  father  and  of  a  mother.  ( b .)  ad  Cannas 
pugnam,  L.  22,  58,  I,  the  battle  of  Cannae. 

198 


The  Noun :  Genitive. 


[1234-1239. 


1234.  The  possessive  pronoun  is  regularly  used  instead  of  the  possessive 
genitive  of  a  personal  or  reflexive  pronoun  (1230)  :  as, 

mea  domus,  RA.  145,  my  own  house .  in  tua  quadam  epistola,  Att.  9, 
10,  3,  in  a  letter  of  yours.  But  sometimes,  for  emphasis,  the  genitive  of  the 
personal  or  reflexive  is  used  :  as,  magno  sul  cum  perlculd,  4,  28,  2,  with 
great  personal  risk;  commonly  so  with  omnium  or  utriusque :  as,  volun- 
tati  vestrum  omnium  parui,  DO.  3,  20S,  I  yielded  to  your  joint  zuish  ;  see 
however  1235. 

1235.  A  word  in  apposition  with  the  possessive  pronoun  is  put  in  the  genitive : 
as,  mea  unius  opera,  Pis.  6,  by  my  sole  instrumentality,  ad  vestram  om¬ 
nium  caedem,  C.  4,  4  .for  the  murder  of  you  all  (1230).  So  particularly  ipse, 
omnis,  solus,  and  unus. 

1236.  The  genitive  is  often  used  predicatively  with  verbs  meaning 
am,  belong,  become,  make,  seem ,  am  accounted ’  &c.,  &c.  :  as, 

litterarii  ista  sunt  ludl,  Quint.  I,  4,  27,  such  questions  belong  to  the  infant 
school,  hie  versus  Plauti  n5n  est,  hie  est,  Fain.  9,  16,  4,  this  line  is  not

he  did  not  think  Gaul  zuas  any  more  Ariovistus’s  than  it  was  the  Romans' . 
hostiumst  potita,  PI.  E.  562,  into  the  foanen’s  hands  she  fell. 

1237.  The  possessive  genitive  of  a  person  or  of  an  abstract  is 
particularly  common  when  the  subject  of  the  verb  is  an  infinitive  or 
sentence :  as, 

{a.)  scyphis  pugnare  Thracum  est,  H.  1,27,1 ,  to  fight  zuith  bowls  is 
Vandal  work,  erat  amentis,  cum  aciem  videres,  pacem  cogitare,  Lig.

non  est  meum,  T.  Hau.  549,  telling  lies  is  not  my  style  (1234).  (b.)  non  est 

pudoris  mei,  me  propugnatorem  P.  ScipiSnis  profiteri,  V.  4,  80,  it  is  not 
in  keeping  with  my  delicacy  to  set  up  as  the  champion  of  Scipio.  harum  rerum 
esse  defensorem  magni  animi  est,  Sest.  99,  to  be  the  defender  of  these  inter¬ 
ests  takes  heroism.  h5c  sentire  prudentiae  est,  facere  fortitudinis,  Sest. 
86,  to  think  thus  shows  wisdom ,  to  act  thus ,  courage,  negavit  moris  esse 
GraecSrum,  ut  in  convivio  virorum  accumberent  mulieres,  V.  1,  66,  he 
said  it  was  not  manners  among  the  Greeks  to  have  women  at  table  at  a  men’s 
dinner-party. 

1238.  With  the  possessive  genitive,  the  limited  substantive  is  sometimes  defined  by 
communis,  proprius  or  alienus,  sacer,  or  totus  added:  as,  h5c  proprium 
virtutis  existimant,  6,  23,  2,  this  they  consider  a  special  characteristic  of  bravery. 
omnia  quae  nostra  erant  propria,  RA.  150,  everything  which  was  our  peculiar

The  Genitive  of  Quality. 

1239.  (2.)  The  genitive  with  an  adjective  in  agreement  is 
used  to  denote  quality,  either  attributively  or  predicatively :  as, 

199 


1240-1243*]  Sentences:  The  Simple  Sentence.

tudo  circiter  pedum  trium,  2,  18,  3,  the  depth  cf  the  river  was  about  three  feet. 
The  genitive  of  quality  resembles  the  ablative  of  quality  (1375) ;  the  two  are 
sometimes  combined  :  as,  hominem  maxim!  corporis  terribilique  facie, 
N.  15,  3,  I,  a  man  of  gigantic  frame  and  with  an  awe-inspiring  presence.  But 
the  genitive  is  common  in  designations  of  size  and  number. 

1240.  A  substantive  expressing  quality  with  aequus,  par,  similis,  or  dissi- 
milis  in  agreement,  is  put  not  in  the  genitive,  but  in  the  ablative,  by  Cicero,  Caesar, 
Nepos,  and  Livy. 


The  Partitive  Genitive. 

1241.  (3.)  The  partitive  genitive  denotes  a  whole  of  which 
the  limited  substantive  denotes  a  part.  There  are  two  kinds  of 
partitive  genitive,  the  numerical  and  the  quantitative  :  as, 

(a.)  militum  pars,  6, 40,  8,  part  of  the  soldiers,  numerical  partitive  (1242). 
(b.)  multum  aestatis,  5,  22,  4,  much  of  the  summer,  quantitative  partitive 
(1247). 

1242.  (a.)  The  numerical  partitive  is  a  plural  or  a  collective, 
limiting  a  word  expressing  part  of  the  number:  as, 

militum  pars,  6,  40,  8,  part  of  the  soldiers,  pars  equitatus,  4,  16,  2,  part 
of  the  cavalry,  alter  cSnsulum,  L.  6,  35,  5,  one  of  the  two  consuls,  uter  est

2,  3,  296,  Stertinius ,  of  sages  eighth.  6  maior  iuvenum,  H.  AP.  366,  O  elder 
of  the  youths.  hSrum  omnium  fortissiml  sunt  Belgae,  1,  1,  3,  of  all  these 
the  stoutest  fighters  are  the  Belgians.  Also  with  superlative  adverbs  :  as, 
deorum  maxime  Mercurium  colunt,  Ta.  G.  9,  of  the  gods,  they  revere 
Mercury  most,  minume  gentium,  PI.  Poen.  690,  T.  Eu.  625,  no,  never  in  the 
world. 

1243.  uterque,  each,  both ,  often  takes  the  genitive  plural  of  a  pronoun  :  as, 
quorum  uterque,  uterque  edrum,  horum,"  nostrum,  &c. ;  sometimes  of  a 
substantive  and  pronoun  combined  :  as,  utriusque  harum  rerum,  TD.  1,  65,  of 
each  of  these  things,  quarum  clvitatum  utraque,  V.  5,  56,  each  of  these  com¬ 
munities.  With  a  substantive  alone,  it  is  oftener  attributive  :  as,  uterque  dux, 
Marc.  24,  each  commander;  and  sometimes  with  neuter  pronouns:  as,  quod 
utrumque,  Brut,  in  Earn.  11,  1,  1,  N.  25,  2,  4.  The  plural  utrlque  is  used  both 
ways:  as,  ab  utrlsque  vestrum,  Pam.  ix,  21,  5,  and  ab  utrisque  nSbls,

The  Noun :  Genitive.  [i  244-1250, 


1244.  The  plurals  tot,  totidem,  and  quot,  are  not  used  partitively,  and  om- 
nes  and  cuncti  only  so  by  poets  and  late  prose  writers,  plerique  is  used  either 
way,  in  agreement,  or  with  the  genitive. 

1245.  The  numerical  partitive  is  exceptionally  used  in  poetry  with  the  positive  ot 
a  descriptive  adjective  :  as,  sancte  de5rum,V.  4,  576,  thou  holy  of  the  gods.  And 
in  late  prose,  particularly  with  words  denoting  a  class  of  persons :  as,  cum  delectis 
peditum,  L.  26,  5,  3,  with  the  pick  of  the  infantry,  levis  cohortium,  Ta.  3,  39, 
the  light-armed  of  the  cohorts. 

1246.  Instead  of  the  numerical  partitive,  a  prepositional  expression  with  ante, 
inter,  or  in,  or  with  ex  or  de,  is  sometimes  used  :  as,  ante  aliSs  acceptissimus, 
L.  1,  15,  8 ,  most  welcome  before  others.  So  particularly  quidam  and  unus,  duo, 
tres,  with  ex  orde:  as,  quidam  ex  his,  2,  17,  2.,  one  of  these,  unus  de  multis, 
Fin.  2,  66,  one  of  the  common  herd.  But  unus  sometimes  has  the  genitive :  as, 
unus  multbrum,  H.  S.  r,  9,  71.  And  usually  so  in  a  series,  when  Onus  is  fol¬ 
lowed  by  alter,  alius,  tertius,  &c. 

1247.  ( b .)  The  quantitative  partitive  is  usually  a  singular,  limiting 
a  neuter  singular  word  denoting  amount.  The  limited  word  is  either 
a  nominative,  or  an  accusative  without  a  preposition.  This  genitive 
often  borders  very  closely  on  the  genitive  of  definition  (1255)  :  as, 

multum  aestatis,  5,  22,  4,  much  of  the  summer,  amplius  obsidum,  6, 
9,  7,  something  more  extensive  in  the  way  of  hostages,  minus  dubitationis, 
1,  14,  1,  less  of  hesitation,  quam  minimum  spatii,  3,  19,  I ,  as  little  time  as 
possible,  id  aetatis,  DO.  1,  207,  at  that  time  of  life,  id  terriporis,  Fin.  5,  1, 
at  that  time  of  day.  quid  causae  est  ?  Ac.  1,  10,  what  earthly  reason  is  there  ? 
hoc  litterularum,  Att.  12,  1,  1,  this  apology  for  a  letter ,  or  this  hasty  line. 
hoc  sib!  sSlacii  proponebant,  7,  15,  2,  they  laid  this  flattering  unction  to 
their  souls. 

1248.  Such  neuters  are  :  multum,  plerumque,  plurimum,  amplius, 
plus,  paulum,  minus,  minimum,  tantum,  quantum,  tantundem,  ni- 
mium  ;  in  poetry  and  late  prose,  also  many  other  adjectives  singular  and 
plural.  Furthermore,  id,  hoc,  illud,  quod,  quid,  &c.,  and  nihil;  also 
abunde,  adfatim,  largiter,  nimis,  partim,  parum,  and  satis. 

1249.  A  few  adjectives  of  place  and  time  indicating  a  particular  part  of 
an  object,  are  commonly  used  in  immediate  agreement  with  their  substan¬ 
tives  :  as, 

summus  mons,  1,  22,  1,  the  highest  part  of  the  mountain,  or  the  mountain- 
top.  extrema  hieme,  media  aestate,  IP.  35,  at  the  end  of  the  -winter,  in 
midsummer.  Such  are  :  primus,  intimus,  medius,  extremus,  postremus, 
ultimus,  summus,  infimus,  imus,  rlliquus.  But  the  neuter  is  sometimes 
used  partitively  :  as,  aestatis  extremum  erat,  S.  /.  90,  1,  it  vms  the  end  of 
summer,  summa  pectoris,  Fain.  1,  9,  15,  the  upper  parts  of  the  breast. 

1250.  The  limiting  genitive  is  often  the  neuter  singular  of  an  adjective 
used  substantively :  as, 

aliquid  boni,  T.  Andr.  398,  something  good,  aliquit  mall,  T.  Eu.  999, 
something  bad.  numquid  tandem  novi  ?  Br.  10,  nothing  new,  pray  ?  This 
use  is  ordinarily  confined  to  stems  in  -o-;  rarely  otherwise:  as,  plus  ina- 
nis,  Lucr.  I.  365,  more  of  the  void ;  and  usually  only  when  joined  with  an  -o- 
stem :  as,  nihil  solid!,  nihil  eminentis,  DN.  1,  75,  no  solidity,  no  projection.

1251.  The  partitive  construction  sometimes  extends  to  the  predicate:  as,  id  erit 
Sign!  me  invitum  facere,  RA.  83,  this  will  be  something  of  an  indication  that  1 
act  with  relncta7ice‘,  slgnl  is  here  in  the  predicate,  and  yet  made  dependent  on  id. 
quid  ergo  est  tui  cdnsilii  ?  Brut,  in  Pam.  n,  1,  3,  what  then  is  your  advice  ? 
quid  sui  cdnsilii  sit  ostendit,  1,  21,  2,  he  explains  what  his  plan  is.  quid  est 
enim  huic  rSliqui  ?  Stdl.  89,  for  what  is  there  left  for  my  client?  hi  milites 
nihil  rgliqul  victis  fecere,  S.  C.  11,  7.  these  soldiers  left  nothing  over  to  the  con¬ 
quered.  nihil  ad  celeritatem  sib!  rgliqui  fecerunt,  2,  26,  5,  as  for  speed , 
they  left  no  effort  unspared. 

1252.  The  accusative  with  a  preposition  also  sometimes  has  the  genitive :  as,  in 
id  redactus  sum  loci,  T.  Ph.  979,  I  am  reduced  to  such  a  strait,  ad  id  loci, 
S.  C.  45,  3,  to  that  spot,  ad  id  locorum,  S.  I.  63,  6,  7ip  to  that  time,  in 
multum  diei,  L.  9,  44,  n,  till  late  in  the  day.  In  Cicero,  also  the  ablatives  eo, 
eodem,  and  quo,  with  loci:  as,  ed  loci,  Sest.  68,  in  that  position.  And  in  later 
writers,  other  ablatives,  with  or  without  a  preposition,  also  have  a  genitive. 

1253.  Some  appellatives  of  place  are  put  in  the  genitive  with  adverbs  of  place  :  as, 
ubinam  gentium?  PI.  Mer.  434,  C.  1,  9,  where  in  the  world ?  nusquam 
gentium,  T.  Ad.  540,  noivhere  in  the  world.  Similarly,  loci  with  adverbs  of  time 
or  order,  as  with  interea  in  Plautus  and  Terence,  postidea  in  Plautus,  postea  in 
Sallust,  and  inde  in  Lucretius  ;  also  locorum  with  adhuc  and  postid  in  Plautus. 

1254.  In  Sallust,  Livy,  and  Tacitus,  genitives  of  abstracts  are  used  with  the 
adverbs  ed,  quo,  and  hue  :  as,  ed  miseriarum,  S.  I.  14,  3,  to  that  pitch  of 
distress.  Once  with  ut :  ut  quisque  audentiae  habuisset,  adcurrerent, 
Ta.  15,  53,  they  should  run  up ,  with  a  speed  commensurate  in  every  case  to  their 
daring. 


The  Genitive  of  Definition. 

1255.  (4.)  The  genitive  is  used  to  define  that  of  which  a 
thing  consists  :  as, 

magna  multitudo  perditorum  hominum,  3,  17,  4,  a  perfect  swarm  of 
desperadoes,  innumerable  pondus  aurl,  Sest.  93,  a  weight  of  gold  too  great 
to  count,  mllle  numero  navium  classem,  V.  1,  48,  an  armada  a  thousand 
sail  strong. 

J256.  The  genitive  of  an  explicit  word  containing  the  leading  idea 
is  sometimes  used  to  define  a  more  general  word ;  as, 

praedae  pecudum  hominumque,  L.  24,  20,  5,  booty  consisting  of  cattle 
and  human  beings,  pignora  coniugum  ac  liberdrum,  L.  2,  1,  5,  pledges  in 
the  shape  of  zuives  and  children,  confisus  munitione  fossae,  Caes.  C.  1,  42,  3, 
relying  on  the  defensive  works  in  the  shape  of  a  moat.  Rarely  in  poetry  and 
late  prose,  the  proper  name  of  a  place,  with  urbs,  promunturium,  &c. :  as, 
urbem  Patavl,  V.  1,  247,  the  city  of  Patavium  (1045).  Particularly  with  the 
words  vox,  nomen,  genus,  and  especially  causa:  as,  haec  vox  voluptatis, 
Fin.  2,  6,  this  word  ‘ pleasure.'  nomen  amicitiae,  Fin.  2,  78,  the  na77ie 
‘friendship.’  Compare  nomen  fraternum,  1,  36,  5,  the  name  of  brothers 
(1233).  haec  ignominiae  causa,  Clu.  120,  this  reason,  namely  the  censor’s 
stigma,  parvulae  causae  vel  falsae  suspicionis  vel  terroris  repentini,

namely  the  crime  of  the  defendant.

The  Noun :  Genitive. 


[1257-1262. 


1257.  The  genitive  of  definition  is  very  common  with  causa,  less  common 
with  gratia,  to  define  what  the  motive  or  cause  is :  as, 

amicitiae  causa,  1,  39,  2,  from  motives  of  friendship.  Compare  vestra 
magis  hoc  causa  volebam,  quam  mea,  DO.  1,  164,  I  wished  this  more  for 
your  sake  than  for  my  own  (1234).  honestatis  amplitudinisque  gratia, 
RA.  15,  in  compliment  to  their  respectability  and  high  social  standing.  So  also 
sometimes  with  n5mine,  and  in  old  or  official  Latin,  with  erg5. 

1258.  Conversely,  the  genitive  of  a  generic  word  denoting  a  person  is  sometimes 
added  to  a  leadingnvord  defining  the  kind  of  a  person  :  as,  frustum  pueri,  PI.  Per. 
849,  thou  bit  of  a  boy.  monstrum  hominis,  T.  Eu.  696,  thou  feud  in  human 
shape,  quaedam  pestes  hominum,  Earn.  5,  8,  2,  some  regular  plagues  in  the 
shape  of  men. 

1259.  quidquid  est,  quantum  est,  quod  est,  or  quodcumque  est,  with 
a  genitive,  is  equivalent  to  an  emphatic  omnis  :  as,  quidquid  patrum  est,  L.  3, 

t  7,  5,  whatever  there  is  in  the  shape  of  senators ,  i.  e.  every  single  senator,  quod 
est  pecuniae,  tradit,  Caes.  C.  2,  20,  8,  what  there  is  in  the  way  of  money ,  he 
hands  over.  Similarly  tantum  for  tot  :  as,  tantum  hominum,  PI.  Pocn.  619, 
such  a  mass  of  men. 


The  Objective  Genitive. 

1260.  (5.)  The  objective  genitive  denotes  the  object  of  the 
action  expressed  in  the  limited  substantive  :  as, 

metus  hostium,  Gell.  9,  12,  13,  the  fear  of  the  enemy,  i.  e.  which  is  felt 
towards  them,  venditid  bonorum,  RA.  no,  sale  of  the  goods,  luctu  filil, 
DO.  2,  193,  from  grief  for  his  son.  This  construction  is  freely  used,  even 
when  the  parallel  verb  has  a  dative,  an  ablative,  or  a  prepositional  expres¬ 
sion :  as,  fiducia  loci,  7,  19,  2,  from  confidence  in  the  position,  liberationem 
culpae,  Dig.  1,  acquittal  from  guilt,  militiae  vacationem,  6,  14,  1,  exemption 
from  military  service,  opinione  trium  legionum  deiectus,  5,  48,  1,  disap¬ 
pointed  in  his  hope  of  three  legions,  deorum  opinio,  TD.  I,  30,  a  conception 
of  the  gods,  miserrima  est  contentio  honorum,  Off.  1,  87,  a  scramble  for 
office  is  a  pitiful  thing. 

1261.  Instead  of  the  objective  genitive,  a  prepositional  expression  is 
sometimes  used  with  greater  precision :  as, 

metus  a  vi  atque  ira  deorum,  DN.  1,  45,  fear  of  the  might  and  wrath 
of  the  gods.  So  especially  the  accusative,  usually  denoting  a  person,  with  in, 
erga,  or  adversus,  combined  with  substantives  denoting  feeling :  as,  odium 
in  hominum  universum  genus,  TD.  4,  25,  hatred  to  all  mankind,  vestra 
erga  me  voluntas,  C.  4,  1,  your  good-will  towards  me. 

1262.  A  possessive  pronoun  or  adjective  is  sometimes  used  for  the 
objective  genitive :  as, 

(a.)  odi5  tuo,  T.  Ph.  1016,  from  hate  to  thee,  tua  fiducia,  V.  5,  176, 
from  his  reliance  on  you.  aspectuque  suo,  Lucr.  1,91,  and  at  the  sight  of  her. 
( b .)  metus  hostilis,  S.  /.  41,  2, fear  felt  of  the  enemy,  servilis  percontatio, 
DO.  2,327 ,  crossquestioning  of  the  servant-girls,  firmus  adversus  militarem 
largitionem,  Ta.  II.  2,  82,  dead-set  against  any  largess  to  the  military.

II.  THE  GENITIVE  WITH  ADJECTIVES. 

1263.  (1.)  The  genitive  is  used  with  many  adjec¬ 
tives  to  denote  the  object. 

Such  are  chiefly  adjectives  meaning  (a.)  desirous,  {/>.)  knowing,  or  remem¬ 
bering,  ( c .)  participating,  controlling,  or  guilty,  (d.)  full,  and  most  of  their 
opposites:  as,  (a.)  auri  cupidus,  PL  Poen.  179,  eager  for  gold,  sapientiae 
studiosos,  id  est  enim  philosophds,  TD.  5,  9,  devotees  of  wisdom,  for  that  is 
7vhat  ‘ philosophers'  means.  So  also  aemulus,  avidus,  fastidiosus,  invidus. 
(b.)  gnarus  rgi  publicae,  Br.  228,  familiar  with  government,  re  I  militaris 
peritissimus,  1,  21,  4,  a  master  of  the  art  military,  homines  adulescentu- 
los,  inperitos  rerum,  T.  Andr.  910,  mere  hobbledehoys,  not  up  in  the  world's

ficiorum,  memor  patriae,  Ph.  2,  27 ,  forgetful  of  kindnesses,  71  ever  forgetting 
his  country.  So  also  conscius,  consultus,  inscius,  insolens,  insolitus, 
insuetus,  ieiunus,  providus,  prudens,  rudis.  (c.)  praedae  participes, 
Caes.  C.  3,  82,  1,  sharing  in  the  booty,  manifestus  tanti  sceleris,  S.  I.  35, 
8,  caught  in  comitiitting  this  atrocious  crime,  expers  glbriae,  IP.  57,  without 
a  share  in  the  glory.  So  also  adfinis,  compos,  consors,  exheres,  potens, 
reus,  (d.)  negoti  plenus,  PL  Ps.  t,So,  full  of  business.  fons  plenissimus 
piscium,  V.  4,  1 18,  a  fountain  swarming  zuith  fish,  referto  praedonum  mari, 
IP.  3:,  7 alien  the  sea  70 as  crammed  with  corsairs.  So  also  fertilis,  inops, 
liberalis,  nudus,  profusus. 

1264.  In  poetry  and  late  prose,  a  great  many  other  adjectives  of  these  meanings, 
besides  those  mentioned  above,  are  also  used  with  the  genitive.  Such  are  principally  ; 
(a.)  avarus,  curiosus,  incuriosus,  securus.  (b.)  nescius,  praesagus, 
praescius,  scitus.  (c.)  exsors,  immunis,  impos,  impotens,  innocens,

1265.  With  conscius  and  the  genitive  of  a  thing,  the  dative  of  a  person  is 
sometimes  added:  as,  tot  flagitiorum  exercitui  meo  conscius,  Ta.  1,43,  a 
participant  rvith  my  army  in  so  many  outrages.  Sometimes  conscius  has  the 
dative  of  a  thing:  as,  mens  conscia  factis,  Lucr.  3,  1018,  the  mind  of  guilt 
aware. 

1266.  (2.)  The  genitive  of  the  object  is  often  used  with  present 
participles  which  express  permanent  condition. 

These  participles  are  chiefly  from  verbs  which  have  a  transitive  use. 
Not  common  in  old  Latin  :  as,  amantem  uxoris,  PL  As.  857,  devoted  to  his 
wife,  fugitans  litium,  T.  Ph.  623,  inclined  to  dodge  a  suit  at  lazo.  Very  com¬

204 


The  Noun  :  Genitive. 


[1267-1271. 


1267.  The  genitive  is  hardly  ever  found  with  adjectives  in  -ax  (2S4)  :  as,  huius 
rei  mendacem,  PI.  As.  S55,  untruthful  in  this  point.  But  in  poetry,  from  Vergil 
and  Horace  on,  and  in  late  prose,  a  few  genitives  occur  with  adjectives  whose  parallel 
verbs  have  a  transitive  use,  such  as  capax,  edax,  tenax,  &c. :  as,  tempus  edax 
rerum,  O.  15,  234,  thou  all-devourer —  time. 

1268.  Some  of  the  adjectives  which  usually  take  the  genitive  have  occa¬ 
sionally  other  constructions. 

Thus,  with  adfinis  the  dative  also  occurs  (1200),  rarely  with  aemulus 
(1183)  ;  the  ablative  with  adjectives  of  fulness,  as  dives,  plenus,  and  refertus 
(1387);  iure  with  consultus  and  peritus  (1385).  For  vacuus,  &c.,  see 
1306.  Prepositional  constructions  also  occur  with  these  adjectives,  such  as 
the  accusative  with  ad  or  in,  or  the  ablative  with  ab,  de,  or  in  :  see  the 
dictionary. 

1269.  For  the  genitive,  with  words  denoting  relationship,  connection,  friendship, 
or  hostility,  see  1203;  with  similis,  1204.  With  dignus  and  indlgnus,  worthy 
and  unworthy ,  the  ablative  is  regularly  used  (1392) ;  rarely  the  genitive  :  as,  non  eg o 
sum  dignus  salutis  ?  PI.  Tri.  1153,  don't  /  deserve  a  greeting  too?  indlgnus 
avorum,  V.  12,  649,  unworthy  of  my  sires. 

1270.  (3.)  In  poetry  and  late  prose,  the  genitive  is  used  very  freely  with 
many  adjectives  of  various  meanings,  often  merely  to  indicate  what  they 
apply  to  :  as, 

nemo  militaris  rii  callidior  habebatur,  Ta.  H.  2,  32,  at  soldiering 
nobody  was  thought  to  have  a  greater  knack,  vetus  operis  ac  labSris,  Ta. 
I,  20,  an  old  hand  at  the  toil  and  moil  of  army  life,  aevi  maturus  Acestes, 
V.  5,  73,  Acestes ,  ripe  in  years,  sen  studiorum,  H.  S.  1,  10,  21,  what  laggards 
at  your  books,  integer  vitae  scelerisque  purus,  H.  1,  22,  1,  the  man  un¬ 
spotted  in  his  life  and  clean  of  sin.  fessi  rerum,  V.  1,  178,  in  travail  spent. 
satin  tu  sanu’s  mentis  aut  animi  tui  ?  PI.  Tri.  454,  art  thou  quite  right  in 
thy  five  wits  ?  (1339). 


III.  THE  GENITIVE  WITH  VERBS. 

Verbs  of  Valuing. 

1271.  A  few  neuter  adjectives  of  quantity  are  put  in  the  gen¬ 
itive  with  verbs  of  valuing  to  denote  the  amount  of  estimation ; 
such  genitives  are  : 

magni,  pluris,  plurimi ;  parvi,  minSris,  minimi;  tanti,  quanti. 

The  verbs  with  which  these  genitives  are  used  are  aestimd,  duc5,  fa- 
cio,  habeo,  pendo,  puto,  and  sum  ;  rarely  existimo :  as,  magni  opera  eius 
aestimata  est,  N.  24,  1,  2,  his  services  were  rated  high,  non  magni  pendo, 
PI.  As.  460,  I  don't  care  much,  sua  parvi  pendere,  S.  C.  12,  2,  a  setting

1272.  In  expressions  of  worthlessness,  other  genitives  are  also  used  thus ;  such

non  assis  facis  ?  Cat.  43, 13,  car'st  not  a  doit  ?  So  also  huius  :  as,  huius  n5n

that  sort  of  thing  very  high  yourself  l  Compare  1390. 

1274.  The  genitives  tanti  and  quanti,  pluris  and  minoris  are  also  used  with 
verbs  of  buying  and  selling,  hiring  and  letting,  and  costing.  But  other  words  are  put 
in  the  ablative  with  these  verbs :  see  1391.  For  magni,  &c.,  with  refert  and  inter¬ 
est,  see  1279.

istuc  facio,  Pl.  MG.  784,  that  ’ s  all  the  same  to  me. 


The  Verbs  refert  and  interest. 

1276.  refert  and  interest,  it  concerns ,  are  much  alike  in  meaning  and  in 
construction.  But  with  refert,  the  person  concerned  is  oftenest  expressed 
in  old  Latin,  less  frequently  in  classical  Latin  ;  with  interest,  the  person  or 
thing  concerned  is  first  expressed  by  Cicero. 

1277.  (1.)  With  refert  and  interest,  a  first  or  second  per¬ 
son  concerned  is  denoted  by  the  possessive  pronoun  forms  mea, 
tua,  nostra,  vestra;  and  the  third  person  reflexive  by  sua: 
as, 

(a.)  quid  id  refert  mea?  PI.  Cur.  395,  what's  that  tome ?  tua  istuc 
refert  maxume,  PL-  Tri.  319,  that  is  of  most  concern  to  thee,  non  sua 
referre,  Quinct.  19,  that  it  did  not  concern  him.  non  nostra  magis  quam 
vestra  refert  vos  non  rebellare,  L.  34,  17,  7,  it  is  7iot  more  for  our  interest 
than  for  your  own  that  you  should  not  make  war  again.  Without  the  verb  : 
as,  quid  istuc  nostra,  or  quid  id  nostra  ?  T.  Ph.  Soo,  940,  what's  that  to  us  ? 
(h.)  tua  et  mea  maxime  interest  te  valere,  Fam.  16,  4,  4,  your  health  is  a 
matter  of  the  highest  importance  to  you  and  to  me.  vestra  hoc  maxime  in¬ 
terest,  Sail.  79,  this  is  of  vital  moment  to  you. 

1278.  (2.)  With  interest,  a  third  person  or  thing  concerned 
is  denoted  by  the  genitive.  Also  with  refert,  a  few  times  from 
Sallust  on  :  as, 

(tf.)  quid  eius  intererat  ?  R  A.  96,  what  concern  was  it  of  his  ?  interesse 
'  r§I  publicae  se  cum  Pompeio  colloqui,  Caes.  C.  1,  24,  5,  that  it  was  of 
importance  to  the  commo?i  weal  that  he  shoidd  have  a  parley  with  Pompey.

retur,  S.  /.  hi,  I,  that  he  must  do  something  which  should  seem  more  for  the 
other  side's  good  than  his  own.  For  the  accusative  with  ad  with  these  verbs, 
or  for  the  dative  with  refert,  see  the  dictionary.

The  Noun :  Genitive . 


[1279-1284. 


1279.  The  matter  of  concern  is  expressed  by  a  sentence  or  infinitive,  or  by  a 
neuter  pronoun  ;  rarely  by  an  appellative :  as,  non  quo  mea  interesset  loci 
natura,  Att.  3,  19,  1,  not  that  the  character  of  the  place  concerned  me.  The  degree 
of  concern  is  expressed  by  an  adverb,  as  magnopere,  by  a  neuter  accusative,  as 
multum,  or  by  a  genitive  of  estimation,  magni,  permagni,  pluris,  parvi, 
tanti,  quanti  (1271). 


Judicial  Verbs. 

1280.  Verbs  of  accusing,  convicting,  condemning, 
and  acquitting,  take  a  genitive  of  the  charge  :  as, 

C.  Verrem  insimulat  avaritiae,  V.  1,  128,/^  charges  Verves  with  ava¬ 
rice.  accusatus  est  prSditionis,  N.  I,  7,  5,  he  was  charged  with  treason. 
capitis  arcessere,  D.  30,  accuse  on  a  capital  charge,  proditionis  damna- 
tus  est,  N.  2,  8,  2,  he  was  convicted  of  treason.  Pollis  pecuniae  publicae 
est  condemnatus,  Flacc.  43,  Pollis  was  condemned  for  embezzlement  of  gov¬ 
ernment  money.  maiestatis  absoluti  sunt  permulti,  Clu.  116,  a  good  many 
were  acquitted  of  high  treason.  With  this  genitive,  an  ablative,  crimine, 
iudicio,  nSmine,  or  lege,  is  sometimes  expressed  (1377):  as,  ne  quem 
umquam  innocentem  iudicio  capitis  arcessas,  Off.  2,  51,  that  you  are  never 
to  accuse  any  innocent  man  on  a  charge  affecting  his  statics  as  a  citizen. 

1281.  The  charge  is  sometimes  denoted  by  a  prepositional  construction :  as, 
sescenti  sunt,  qui  inter  slcarios  et  de  veneficiis  accusabant,  RA.  90, 
there  are  hundreds  and  hundreds  that  brought  charges  of  murder ,  by  steel  and  by 
poison.  So  also  de  alea,  of  gambling,  in  Cicero  regularly  de  pecuniis  repetun- 
dis,  of  extortion,  and  necessarily  de  vi,  of  an  act  of  violence,  as  vis  has  no  genitive. 
For  the  neuter  accusative,  see  1x72. 

1282.  The  penalty  also  is  sometimes  denoted  by  the  genitive  :  as,  cupio  octu- 
pli  damnarl  AprSnium,  V.  3,  28,  /  want  to  have  Apronius  condemned  to  a  pay¬ 
ment  of  eightfold.  damnatusque  long!  Sisyphus  Aeolides  laboris,  H.  2, 
14,  19,  and  Sisyphus  the  Aeolid ,  amerced  with  penance  long.  Sometimes  by  the 
ablative:  as,  capite,  V.  5,  109.  So  usually  from  Livy  on,  when  the  penalty  is  a 
definite  sum  of  money  or  fractional  part  of  a  thing. 


Impersonal  Verbs  of  Mental  Distress. 

1283.  A  genitive  of  the  thing,  commonly  with  an  accusative  of  the 
person,  is  used  with  five  impersonals  of  mental  distress: 

miseret,  paenitet,  piget,  pudet,  taedet :  as, 

tui  me  miseret,  mei  piget,  E.  in  Div.  1,  66,  /  pity  thee,  /  loathe  my¬ 
self.  fratris  me  pudet  pigetque,  T.  Ad.  391,  my  brother  stirs  my  shame  and 
my  disgust,  mi  pater,  me  tui  pudet,  T.  Ad.  681,  dear  father,  in  thy  presence 
I'm  abashed,  galeatum  sero  duelli  paenitet,  J.  1,  169,  too  late,  with  casque 
on  head,  a  combatant  repenteth  him  of  war.  So  also  miseretur,  and  in  old 
Latin  inceptively,  miserescit,  commiserescit. 

1284.  These  verbs  sometimes  have  a  sentence  or  a  neuter  pronoun  as  subject :  as, 
non  te  haec  pudent?  T.  Ad.  754,  does  not  this  make  thee  blush  for  shame ? 
Rarely  an  appellative:  as,  me  quidem  haec  condicio  non  paenitet,  PI.  St.  51, 
for  my  fart,  with  my  wedded  state  I'm  well  content.  Or  a  person  :  as,  pude5, 
PI.  Cas.  877,  / feel  ashamed.  For  participles  and  gerundives,  see  817. 

207 


12S5-1291.]  Sentences :  The  Simple  Sentence . 


1285.  The  genitive  is  used  with  the  personals  misereor  or  misereS,  and 
in  poetry  with  miserescd  :  as, 

aliquando  misereminl  sociSrum,  V.  1,  72,  do  take  pity  on  your  allies,  it 
is  high  time,  neminis  miserere  certumst,  quia  mei  miseret  neminem, 

PI.  Cap.  764,  I'm  bound  to  care  for  nobody ,  as  no  one  cares  for  me.  Arcadil 
miserescite  regis,  V.  8,  573,  take  pity  on  the  king  of  Arcady. 

1286.  Personal  verbs  of  desiring,  loathing,  admiring,  and  dreading,  sometimes  take 
the  genitive  :  as,  pol,  quamquam  domi  cupi5,  opperiar,  Pi.  Tri.  841,  although 
/ yearn  for  home ,  I  vow  I'll  zvait  (1263).  fastldit  mei,  PL  Aul.  245,  he  views  me 
with  disdain  (1263).  iustitiaene  prius  mirer,  belline  laborum  ?.V.  11,  126, 

thy  justice  first  shall  I  admire ?  thy  toils  in  war?  ne  tui  quidem  testimonil 
veritus,  Att.  8,  4,  1,  not  having  any  awe  about  your  recommendation  either. 


Verbs  of  Memory. 

1287.  The  genitive  is  used  with  verbs  of  remem¬ 
bering  and  forgetting  :  as, 

vivbrum  memini,  nec  tamen  Epicuri  licet  oblivisci,  Fin.  5,  3,  /  re¬ 
member  the  living ,  and  yet  it  will  not  do  for  me  to  be  forgetful  of  Fpiatrus. 
reminisceretur  incommodl  populi  Romani,  1,  13,  4,  he  had  better  call  to 
mind  the  rebuff  dealt  out  to  Rome,  flagitibrum  suorum  recordabitur,  Pis. 
12,  he  will  bethink  him  of  his  abominable  actions,  oblitusque  meorum  obli- 
viscendus  et  illis,  H.  E.  1,  11,  10,  and friends  forgetting  and  by  friends  for¬ 
got.  See  1263. 

1288.  With  verbs  of  remembering  and  forgetting  the  thing  is  sometimes  expressed 
by  the  accusative,  and  regularly  when  it  is  a  neuter  pronoun,  memini  takes  also  the 
accusative  of  a  person  we  have  known:  as,  Cinnam  memini,  vidi  Sullam,  Ph. 
5,  17,  I  can  remember  Cinna ,  /  have  seen  Sulla,  recordor  takes  the  accusative 
much  oftener  than  the  genitive. 

1289.  The  ablative  also  with  de  occurs  with  memini  :  as,  de  palla  me¬ 
mento,  PI.  As.  939,  don't  forget  about  the  gown.  Likewise  with  recordor,  partic 
ularly  of  persons:  as,  recordare  de  ceteris,  Sull.  5,  bethink  yourself  about  the 
rest  of  the  men. 

1290.  The  impersonal  venit  in  mentem  also  takes  the  genitive:  as,  venit 
mihl  Platonis  in  mentem,  Fin.  5,  2,  Plato  comes  into  my  head ;  very  excep¬ 
tionally  the  ablative  with  de.  But  the  verb  in  this  combination  is  often  used  person¬ 
ally,  with  the  thing  occurring  to  the  mind  as  the  subject,  and  regularly  in  Cicero, 
when  it  is  res  or  genus,  or  a  neuter  pronoun. 

1291.  Verbs  of  reminding  take  the  accusative  of  a  person  and  sometimes 
with  it  the  genitive  of  a  thing :  as, 

admonebat  alium  egestatis,  alium  cupiditatis  suae,  S.  C.  21,  4,  he 

reminded  one  man  of  his  beggary,  another  of  his  greed.  So  also  commoneo, 
commonSfacio,  and,  in  Tacitus  only,  moneo.  Oftener  however  the  thing 
is  in  the  ablative  with  de,  or,  if  it  is  a  neuter  pronoun  or  adjective,  in  the 
accusative  (1172).  Rarely  a  substantive  equivalent  to  a  neuter  pronoun  :  as, 
earn  rem  nos  locus  admonuit,  S.  I.  79,  1,  the  place  has  reminded  me  of  that. 

208 


The  Noun:  Ablative. 


[1292-1297. 


Verbs  of  Participation  and  Mastery. 

I2g2.  Verbs  of  participation  and  mastery  sometimes  take  the  genitive  in  old  Latin 
and  in  poetry:  as,  servom  sui  participat  consili,  PI.  Cist.  163,  she  makes  a 
slave  a  sharer  in  her  plot  (1263).  qua  Daunus  agrestium  regriavit  populS- 
rum,  H.  3,  30,  11,  where  Daunus  was  the  lord  of  rural  folk  (1260).  So,  even  in 
prose,  potior,  which  usually  has  the  ablative  (1379)  :  as,  totius  Galliae  sese 
potiri  posse  sperant,  1,  3,  8,  they  hope  they  can  get  the  mastery  over  the  whole  of 
Gaul.  Especially  with  persons,  or  with  the  genitive  plural  rerum:  rerum  potior, 
get  to  be.  or  often,  am,  master  of  the  situation ,  or  lam  monarch  of  all  I  survey.  Simi¬ 
larly  in  Tacitus  aplscor,  adipiscor  :  as,  arma,  quis  Servius  Galba  rerum 
adeptus  est,  Ta.  3,  55,  the  war  by  which  Galba  became  master  of  the  throne.  In 
Plautus  credb  sometimes  has  the  genitive  of  a  thing  and  dative  of  a  person. 


Verbs  of  Fulness  and  Want. 

1293.  The  genitive  is  sometimes  used  with  verbs  of  filling,  abounding, 
and  lacking,  as  it  is  with  the  corresponding  adjectives  (1263)  :  as, 

convivium  vicinorum  cotidie  compleo,  CM.  46,  I  fill  out  a  dinner¬ 
party  raery  day  with  neighbours,  haec  res  vitae  me,  soror,  saturant, 
PI.  St.  18,  these  things,  my  sister ,  sicken  me  of  life,  terra  ferarum  nunc 
etiam  scatit,  Lucr.  5,  39,  still  teems  the  earth  with  ravin  beasts.  So  with 
egeo  sometimes  :  as,  ege5  consilii,  Att.  7,  22,  2,  I  am  in  need  of  some  advice. 
And  usually  with  indigeb  :  as,  hoc  bellum  indiget  celeritatis,  Ph.  6,  7, 
this  war  requires  rapid  action.  But,  from  Livy  on,  the  ablative  is  commoner 
with  indigeS  :  see  1305. 

1294.  With  verbs  of  separating  and  abstaining,  the  ablative  is  regularly  used 
(1302).  But  the  genitive  is  sometimes  found  in  poetry  :  as,  me  omnium  labbrum 
le'vas,  PL  R.  247,  thou  riddest  me  of  all  my  woes,  abstinetb  irarum  calidae- 
que  rixae,  H.  3,  27,  69,  from  bursts  of  rage  keep  thou  and  hot  affray. 

IV.  THE  GENITIVE  OF  EXCLAMATION. 

1295.  In  poetry,  the  genitive  with  an  adjective  in  agreement  occurs  two  or  three 
times  in  exclamation  :  as,  foederis  heu  taciti,  Prop.  5,  7,  21,  alas,  that  secret 
covenant.  Usually  the  nominative  ( 1 1 1 7),  or  the  accusative  (1149). 


THE  ABLATIVE. 

1296.  The  ablative  is  used  principally  with  verbs  and  their 
participles,  or  with  adjectives,  and  consists  of  three  cases  that 
were  originally  distinct. 

1297.  I.  The  Ablative  proper  denotes  that  from  which 
something  parts  or  proceeds  (1302). 

209 


1298-1302.]  Sentences :  The  Simple  Sentence . 


The  ablative  proper  is  often  accompanied  by  the  prepositions  ab,  de, 
ex,  prae,  prd,  sine,  or  tenus. 

I2g8.  With  the  ablative  proper  two  other  cases,  originally  distinct,  a 
locative  case  and  an  instrumental  case,  were  confounded,  and  merged  under 
the  common  name  of  the  ablative. 

1299.  II.  The  Locative  case  denotes  the  place  in,  at,  or  on 
which  action  occurs.  A  few  forms  of  the  locative  proper  are 
still  preserved  (1331)-  But  ordinarily  the  locative  ablative  is 
used  to  denote  the  place  where  (1342). 

The  locative  ablative  is  often  accompanied  by  the  prepositions  in  or 

sub. 

1300.  III.  The  Instrumental  case  denotes  that  by  which  or 
with  which  a  main  person  or  thing  is  attended  (1356). 

The  instrumental  ablative  is  often  accompanied  by  the  prepositions  cum 
or  coram. 

1301.  The  ablative  or  locative  is  sometimes  attached  immediately 
to  a  substantive. 

Thus,  (a.)  sometimes  to  a  substantive  which  denotes  or  implies  action: 
as,  interitus  ferrS,  destruction  with  the  sword,  like  intered  ferro  ;  see  1307, 
1 33 1 ,  1342,  1376,  137 7.  (b.)  In  constructions  in  which  the  ablative  is  due  to 

an  older  combination  with  a  verb:  as,  vir  singular!  virtute,  a  man  of  unex¬ 
ampled  bravery.  See  1309  and  1375. 


I.  THE  ABLATIVE  PROPER. 

The  Ablative  of  Separation  and  Want,  and  of 

Departure. 

1302.  Verbs  of  separation  take  an  ablative  of  the 
thing  from  which  separation  takes  place  :  as, 

(a.)  caruit  ford  postea  Pompeius,  caruit  senatu,  caruit  publico,  Mil. 

18,  after  that  Pompey  had  to  keep  away  from  the  market  place,  from  the  senate, 
from  highways  and  byways,  adhtic  Q.  Ligarius  omni  culpa  vacat,  Lig.  4, 
thus  far  Ligarius  proves  devoid  of  any  guilt,  egeo  cdnsilid,  Att.  15,  I,  A,  5,  / 
need  advice  (1305).  (b.)  Italia  prohibetur:  n5n  tu  eum  patria  privare, 

qua  caret,  sed  vita  vis,  Lig.  1 1,  he  is  kept  out  of  Italy ;  you  want  to  deprive 
him  not  of  his  country,  from  which  he  is  debarred,  but  of  life,  liberemus  cura 
populum  Romanum,  L.  39,  51,  9,  Hannibal’s  words  when  he  took  poison, 
I  S3  15.  C  ,  let  me  relieve  Rome  of  anxiety. 


2  10 


The  Noun :  A  blative. 


[1303-1309. 


1303.  This  ablative  is  used  (a.)  with  such  verbs  as  mean  abstain ,  abs- 
tineo,  desisto,  superseded  ;  am  devoid  of  \  careo,  vacS  ;  need,  egeo  ;  and 
in  addition  to  the  accusative  of  the  object,  (b.)  with  verbs  used  transitively, 
such  as  mean  keep  off,  arced,  excludo  and  intercludo,  prohibeo ;  drive 
away,  remove ,  pello,  moved,  and  their  compounds ;  free,  expedio,  libero, 
levd,  solvd  and  exsolvd  ;  deprive,  orbd,  privo,  spolio,  nudo,  frauds. 

1304.  A  preposition,  ab  or  ex,  is  often  used  with  these  verbs,  and  regu¬ 
larly  when  the  ablative  denotes  a  person.  But  cared  and  egeo,  and  exsolvd 
and  levd,  never  have  a  preposition. 

1305.  With  eged,  the  genitive  is  sometimes  used,  and  often  with  indiged  :  see 
1293.  Also  in  poetry,  with  verbs  of  abstaining  and  separating  :  see  1294. 

1306.  The  ablative  of  separation  is  sometimes  used  with  such  adjectives  as  ali- 
enus,  expers,  liber,  nudus,  vacuus,  &c.  :  as,  negant  id  esse  alienum 
maiestate  deorum,  Div.  2,  105,  they  maintain  that  this  is  not  at  variance  with 
the  greatness  of  the  gods,  vacui  curls,  Fin.  2,  46,  devoid  of  cares,  arce  et 
urbe  orba  sum,  E.  Tr.  114,  of  tower  and  town  bereft  am  I.  But  sometimes 
the  genitive:  see  1263  and  1264;  sometimes  also  prepositional  constructions:  for 
these,  and  particularly  for  the  different  constructions  of  alienus,  see  the  dictionary. 


Town  and  Island  Names. 

1307.  (1.)  Proper  names  of  towns  and  of  little  islands 
are  put  in  the  ablative  with  verbs  of  motion,  to  denote 
the  place  from  which  motion  proceeds :  as, 

Damaratus  fugit  Tarquinios  Corintho,  TD.  5,  109,  Damaratus  ran 
away  from  Corinth  to  Tarquinii.  signum  Carthagine  captum,  V.  4,  82, 
the  statue  carried  off  from  Carthage.  Megaribus,  PI.  Per.  \yj ,  from  Megara. 
Lemno,  PI.  Tru.  ()o,from  Lemnos.  Roma  acceperam  litteras,  Att.  5,8,  2,

as,  de  illius  Alexandria  discessu,  Att.  n,  18,  I,  about  his  departure  from 
Alexandrea.  Also  in  dating  letters :  as,  v  kal.  Sextil.,  Regib,  Fam.  7,  19, 
Regium,  17  July;  less  often  the  locative:  as,  Idibus  Iuniis,  Thessalonlcae, 
QFr.  I,  3,  10,  Thessalonica ,  13  fune.  Like  a  town  name  :  Acherunte,  poet, 
in  TD.  1,  37,  from  Acheron.  With  an  attribute  :  ipsa  Samo,  V.  1,  51,  from 
Samos  itself.  Teano  Sidicino,  Alt.  8,  11,  13,  2,  from  Sidicinian  Teanum. 

1308.  Singular  town  or  island  names  sometimes  have  ex  in  old  Latin  :  thus, 
Carysto,  PI.  Ps.  730 ,  from  Carystus,  or,  ex  Carysto,  Ps.  737,  indifferently,  ex 
Andro,  T.  Andr.  70,  from  Andros.  In  classical  Latin,  town  names  rarely  have  ab: 
as,  ab  Athenls  proficiscl,  Serv.  in  Fam.  4,  12,  2,  to  start  from  Athens ;  chiefly 
of  neighbourhood:  as,  ab  Gergovia,  7,  43,  5  :  7,  59,  1  ,from  camp  at  Gergovia ;  or 
direction  :  as,  a  Salonis  ad  Oricum,  Caes.  C.  3,  8,  4,  from  Salonae  to  Oricum  ; 
regularly  with  longe  :  as,  longe  a  Syracusis,  V.  4,  107,  far  from  Syracuse. 

1309.  The  ablative  of  a  town  or  country  name  is  rarely  attached  immediately  to  a 
substantive,  to  denote  origin  :  as,  Periphanes  Rhodo  mercator  dives,  PI.  As. 
499,  Periphanes  from  Rhodes  a  chapman  rich,  video  ibl  hospitem  Zacyntho, 
PI.  Mer.  940,  I  see  the  friend  there  from  Zacynthus.  Rarely  in  Cicero  :  as,  Teano 
Apulo  laudatores,  Clu.  197,  eulogists  from  Afulian  Teaman;  in  Caesar  twice. 
In  Livy  wdth  ab  only  :  as,  Turnus  ab  Aricia,  L.  1,  50,  3.  Turnus  from  Aricia. 
But  the  Roman  tribe  one  belongs  to,  is  regularly  in  the  ablative:  as,  Q.  Verrem 
Rbmilia,  sc.  tribu,  V.  a.  pr.  1,  23,  Vcrres  of  the  tribe  Romilia.

1310-1315*]  Sentences  :  The  Simple  Sentence . 


1310.  With  a  verb,  country  names  regularly  have  a  preposition,  and  always  in 
Cicero,  Sallust,  and  Livy  :  as,  e  Cilicia  decedens,  Br.  1,  going  away  from  Cilicia. 
The  ablative  alone  is  rare  :  as,  Aegyptd  advenio  domum,  PI.  Most.  440,  from 
Egypt  I  come  home.  Chiefly  in  Tacitus  :  as,  Aegypto  remeans,  2,  69,  coming  back 
from  Egypt.  In  Caesar,  by  attraction  :  cogebantur  Corcyra  atque  Acarnania 
pabulum  supportare,  C.  3,  58,  4,  they  were  forced  to  fetch  fodder  from  Corcyra 
and  even  Acarnania. 

1311.  (2.)  The  ablatives  domo  and  rure,  and  in  poetry 
humo,  are  used  like  proper  names  of  towns :  as, 

(<?.)  domo  excesserant,  4,  14,  5,  they  had  gone  away  from  home.  Also 
metaphorically  :  as,  domo  doctus,  PI.  Mer.  355,  by  home-experience  taught. 
( b .)  rure  rediit  uxor  mea,  PI.  Mer.  705,  my  wife ' s  come  back  from  out  of  town, 
(c.)  humo,  in  Vergil  first:  as,  vix  oculos  attollit  humo,  O.  2,  44S,  scarce 
from  the  ground  her  eyes  she  lifts. 


The  Ablative  of  Source,  Stuff,  or  Material. 

1312.  The  verb  nascor  and  participles  of  origin  take  an  ablative  to 
denote  parentage  or  rank  in  life. 

Such  participles  are  :  natus,  prognatus,  and  ortus  ;  in  poetry  and  late 
prose,  also  cretus,  editus,  generatus,  genitus,  satus,  and  oriundus :  as, 
(a.)  Romulus  ded  prognatus,  L.  I,  40,  3,  Romulus ,  sprung  from  a  god.  dis 
genite,  V.  9,  642,  thou  sired  of  gods.  Of  a  parent,  ex  is  sometimes  used  :  as 
ex  me  hie  natus  non  est,  T.  Ad.  40,  he's  not  ?ny  son  ;  and  of  remoter  ances¬ 
tors,  ab.  (b.)  loco  natus  honestd,  5,  45.  2,  respectably  descended,  summd 
loco  natus,  5,  25,  1,  of  high  birth,  familia  antiquissima  natum,  7,  32,  4, 
a  member  of  an  old  family.  Rarely  with  de  :  as,  quo  de  genere  gnatust 
Philocrates  ?  PI.  Cap.  277,  what  is  the  parentage  of  Philocrates  ? 

1313.  The  ablative  with  an  attribute,  attached  to  a  substantive,  sometimes  denotes 
stuff  or  material:  as,  aere  cavo  clipeum,  V.  3,  286,  a  targe  of  hollow  bronze. 

f)erenni  fronde  coronam,  Lucr.  1,  118,  a  crown  of  amaranthine  leaf,  so- 
idoque  adamante  columnae,  V.  6,  552,  and  pillars  of  the  solid  adamant. 
This  construction  borders  closely  on  the  ablative  of  quality  (1375).  Rarely  without  an 
attribute:  as,  plctas  abiete  puppis,  V.  5,  6  painted  sterns  of  fir. 

1314.  A  substantive  denoting  stuff  or  material  is  generally  put  in  the 
ablative  with  de  or  ex;  thus, 

(a.)  Directly  with  a  substantive  :  pocula  ex  aur5,  V.  4,  62,  cups  of  gold, 
(b.)  Oftener  with  an  auxiliary  verb  or  participle  :  signum  erat  hoc  Cupidi- 
nis  e  marmore,  V.  4,  5,  this  statue  of  Cupid  was  made  of  marble,  scutls 
ex  cortice  factis,  2,  33,  2,  with  long  shields  made  out  of  bark,  ex  una 
gemma  pergrandi  trulla  excavata,  V.  4,  62,  a  ladle  scooped  out  of  a  single 
enormous  semi-precious  stone. 

1315.  The  ablative  with  forms  of  facio  and  sum  denotes  that  with  which  or 
to  which  something  is  done  :  as,  quid  hoc  homine  facias  ?  Sest.  29,  what  can 
you  do  with  such  a  fellow  ?  quid  me  fiet  ?  _T.  Andr.  709,  what  will  become  of 
me?  But  often  the  dative  (120^):  as,  quid  tib!  faciam  ?  Ait.  7,  3,  2,  what  shall 
I  do  to  you?  Or  the  ablative  with  de  :  as,  de  fratre  quid  fiet  ?  T.  Ad.  996,  as  to 
my  brother ,  what  will  come  to  pass?

The  Noun :  Ablative. 


[ 1  3  1  6—13  20. 


The  Ablative  of  Cause,  Influence,  or  Motive. 

1316.  The  ablative  is  used  to  denote  cause,  influ¬ 
ence,  or  motive  :  as, 

madeo  metu,  PI.  Most.  395,  I  'm  drenched  with  dread,  tu  imprudentia

he  is  not  moved  by  money,  boat  caelum  fremitu  virum,  PI.  Am.  232,  the 
welkin  rings  with  roar  of  men.  delicts  dolere,  correctiSne  gaudere,  L. 
90,  be  pained  by  the  sin,  take  pleasure  in  the  reproof,  aetate  non  quis  optu- 
erier,  PI.  Most.  840,  owing  to  age  thou  canst  not  see.  Iovis  iussu  venio,  PI. 
Am.  pro/.  19 ,  at  fove's  behest  I  come.  Seianus  nimia  fortuna  socors,  Ta. 
4.  39,  Sejanus giddy  with  over-prosperity,  ferox  praeda  gloriaque  exercitus, 
Ta.  H.  1,51,  the  army  flushed  with  booty  and  glory,  exercitus  nostri  interitus 
ferro,  Pis.  40,  the  annihilation  of  our  army  by  the  sword  (1301). 

1317.  Instead  of  the  ablative,  other  constructions  often  occur, 
especially  with  verbs  used  transitively;  such  are: 

[a.)  Prepositional  constructions  with  de  or  ex,  and  in  Livy  with  ab  ; 
also  with  ob,  per,  or  propter:  as,  multi  in  oppidum  propter  timorem 
sese  recipiunt,  Caes.  C.  2,  35,  6,  a  good  many  retreated  to  the  town  from  fear. 
Sometimes  with  prae  :  as,  prae  amore  exclusti  hunc  foras,  T.  Eu.  98,  it 
was  for  love  you  turned  him  out  of  doors ;  in  classical  Latin,  usually  of  hin¬ 
drance:  as.  sSlem  prae  iaculorum  multitudine  non  videbitis,  TD.  1,  101, 
you  won't  see  the  sun  for  the  cloud  of  javelins,  (b. )  Circumlocutions  with 
causa,  less  frequently  with  gratia  (1257).  ( c .)  Ablatives  absolute,  or  parti¬ 

ciples,  particularly  auxiliary  participles  with  an  ablative  to  express  cause, 
oftener  motive,  such  as  captus,  ductus,  excitatus  or  incitatus,  impulsus, 
incensus,  inflammatus,  mdtus,  perterritus  :  as,  nonnulli  pudore  adducti 
remanebant,  1,  39,  3,  some  stuck  by  from  shame. 

1318.  The  person  by  whom  the  action  of  a  passive  verb  is  done,  is  denoted  by  the 
ablative  with  ab  or  a.  Also  occasionally  with  verbs  equivalent  to  a  passive,  such  as 
cad5,  intereo,  pereo,  veneS,  &c.,  &c.  Things  or  animals  are  sometimes  repre¬ 
sented  as  persons  by  the  use  of  ab:  as,  animus  bene  informatus  a  natura, 
Off.  1,  1  t,,  a  soul  meetly  fashioned  by  dame  nature. 

1319.  In  poetry,  an  ablative  denoting  a  person,  with  an  adjective  in  agreement,  is 
sometimes  equivalent  to  an  expression  with  an  abstract  substantive:  as,  et  adsiduo 
ruptae  lectore  columnae,  J.  x,  13,  and  pillars  by  persistent  reader  riven ,  i.  e. 
adsiduitate  lectoris,  or  adsidua  lectiSne.  curatus  inaequali  tonsore 
capillos,  H.  E.  1,  1,  94,  my  locks  by  unsymmdric  barber  trimmed. 

The  Ablative  of  Comparison. 

1320.  (1.)  The  ablative  may  be  used  with  a  com¬ 
parative  adjective,  when  the  first  of  two  things  compared 
is  in  the  nominative,  or  is  a  subject-accusative. 

213 


1321-1325*]  Sen tences  :  T he  Simple  Sen tence. 


Such  an  ablative  is  translated  by  than:  as,  (a.)  luce  sunt  claridra  nobis 
tua  cbnsilia,  C.  1,  6,  your  schemes  are  plainer  to  us  than  day.  6  matre 
pulchra  filia  pulchrior,  H.  1,  16,  1,  O  daughter  fairer  than  a  mother  fair. 
Particularly  in  sentences  of  negative  import:  as,  quis  Karthaginiensium 
pluris  fuit  Hannibale  ?  Sest.  142,  of  all  the  sons  of  Carthage ,  who  zuas  rated 
higher  than  Hannibal?  nec  mihl  est  te  iucundius  quicquam  nec  carius, 
Fain.  2,  10,  I,  and  there  is  nothing  in  the  world  nearer  and  dearer  to  me  than 
you.  (b.)  illud  cognosces  profectd,  mihl  te  neque  cariorem  neque  iu- 
cundiorem  esse  quemquam,  Pam.  2,  3,  2,  one  thing  I  am  sure  you  zuill  see, 
that  there  is  nobody  nearer  and  dearer  to  me  than  you. 

* 

1321.  (2.)  The  ablative  of  comparison  is  occasionally  used 
when  the  first  member  of  comparison  is  an  accusative  of  the 
object  :  as, 

exegi  monumentum  a'ere  perennius,  H.  3,  30,  1,  I  have  builded  up  a 
monument  more  durable  than  bronze.  Particularly  so  in  sentences  of  negative 
import:  as,  hoc  mihi  gratius  facere  nihil  potes,  Fam.  13,  44, you  can  do 
nothing  for  me  more  welcome  than  this.  Also  with  predicate  adjectives  de¬ 
pendent  on  a  verb  of  thinking  (1167):  as,  Herodotum  cur  veraciorem 
ducam  Ennio  ?  Div.  2,  116,  why  should  I  count  Herodotus  any  more  truthful 
than  Ennius?  Regularly  when  the  second  member  of  comparison  is  a  rela¬ 
tive  :  as,  qua  pecude  nihil  genuit  natura  fecundius,  DN.  2,  160,  nature 
has  created  nothing  more  prolific  than  this  animal,  i.  e.  the  sow. 

1322.  (3.)  In  poetry,  the  ablative  of  comparison  may  be  used  with  the  first  mem¬ 
ber  of  comparison  in  any  case:  as,  Lucili  ritu ,  nostrum  melioris  utroque, 

H.  S.  2,  1,  29,  after  Lucilius'1  s  way ,  a  better  man  than  thou  or  I. 

1323.  (4.)  In  sentences  of  negative  import,  the  ablative  is  sometimes  used  with 
alter  and  alius,  as  with  a  comparative:  as,  neque  mest  alter  quisquam,  PI. 
As.  492,  and  there's  no  other  man  than  I.  nec  quicquam  aliud  libertate 
communi  quaesisse,  Brut,  and  Cass,  in  Fam.  11,  2,  2,  and  to  have  aimed  at 
nothing  else  than  freedom  for  all.  But  in  prose,  quam  is  commonly  used. 

1324.  (1.)  The  second  member  of  comparison  is  often  introduced  by 
quam,  than,  or  in  poetry  by  atque  or  ac.  This  member,  whatever  the  case 
of  the  first  member,  is  sometimes  made  the  subject  of  a  form  of  sum  in  a 
new  sentence :  as, 

meliorem  quam  ego  sum  suppond  tibf ,  PI.  Cur.  256,  /  give  you  as  a 
substitute  a  belter  than  I  am  myself,  verba  M.  VarrSnis,  hominis  quam 
fuit  Claudius  doctioris,  Gell.  10,  1,  4,  the  words  _of  Varro,  a  better  scholar 
than  Claudius  ever  zuas.  ut  tibl  maiori  quam  Africanus  fuit,  me  ad- 
iunctum  esse  patiare,  Fam.  5,  7,  3,  so  that  you  zuill  allozu  me  to  be  associated 
with  you,  a  bigger  man  than  Africanus  ever  zuas. 

1325.  (2.)  When  the  first  member  is  in  the  nominative  or 
accusative,  quam  is  commonly  a  mere  coordinating  word,  with 
both  members  in  the  same  case  :  as, 

(a.)  pluris  est  oculatus  testis  unus  quam  auriti  decern,  PI.  Tru.  490, 

a  single  witness  zuith  an  eye  rates  higher  than  a  dozen  with  the  ear.  (b.)  tu 
velim  existimes  neminem  cuiquam  neque  cariorem  neque  iucundiSrem 
umquam  fuisse  quam  te  mihl,  Pam.  1,  9,  24,  P  hope  you  zuill  be  convinced 

that  nobody  zuas  ever  nearer  and  dearer  to  anybody  than  you  to  me. 

214 


The  Noun  :  A  blative . 


[1326-1331. 


1326.  An  introductory  ablative  of  a  demonstrative  or  relative  pronoun  sometimes 
precedes  the  construction  with  quam:  as,  quid  hoc  est  clarius,  quam  omnis 
Segestae  matrdnas  et  virgines  convenisse  ?  V.  4,  77,  what  fact  is  there 
better  known  than  this ,  to  wit ,  that  all  the  women  in  Segesia ,  married  and  single , 
came  streaming  together  ? 

1327.  The  ablative  is  sometimes  used  with  comparative  adverbs 
also. 

So  particularly  in  sentences  of  negative  import :  as,  nihil  lacrima  citius 
arescit,  Corn.  2,  50,  nothing  dries  np  quicker  thaw  a  tear.  Less  frequently 
in  positive  sentences  in  prose  :  as,  fortuna,  quae  plus  consilis  humanis 
pollet,  contraxit  certamen,  L.  44,  40,  3,  fortune,  who  is  mightier  than  the 
devices  of  man,  precipitated  the  engagement.  Very  commonly,  however, 
quam  is  used  with  comparative  adverbs. 

1328.  Designations  of  number  or  extent  are  often  qualified  by 
amplius,  longius,  or  plus,  over ,  or  by  minus,  -under. 

The  word  thus  qualified  is  put  in  the  case  which  the  context  would  re¬ 
quire  without  any  such  qualification  :  as,  plus  septingenti  capti,  L.  41,  12,  8, 
over  seven  hundred  were  taken  prisoners,  tecum  plus  annum  vlxit,  Q.  41,  he 
lived  with  you  over  a  year  ( 1 1 5 1 ) .  cum  equis  plus  qulngentis,  L.  40,  32,  6, 
with  over  five  hundred  horses.  Less  frequently  with  quam.  When  these 
words  are  felt  as  real  substantives  in  the  nominative  or  accusative,  the  abla¬ 
tive  of  comparison  may  be  used  (1320) :  as,  plus  tridu5,  RA.  74,  more  than 
three  days. 

1329.  Jn  expressions  of  age  with  natus,  the  adjectives  maior  and  minor  are 
used  as  well  as  amplius  and  minus,  and  with  the  same  construction  (132S)  :  as, 
annos  natus  maior  quadraginta,  RA.  39,  over  forty  years  old.  For  other 
constructions,  see  the  dictionary.  Similarly  conlectus  aquae  digitum  non 
altior  unum,  Lucr.  4,  414,  a  pool  no  deeper  than  a  finger's  breadth  (1130).  But 
commonly  with  comparative  adjectives  of  extent,  quam  is  used,  or  the  ablative 
(1320):  as,  palus  n5n  latior  pedibus  quinquaginta,  7,  19,  1,  a  marsh  not 
wider  than  fifty  feet. 

1330.  With  a  comparative  adjective  or  adverb,  the  ablatives  opinione, 
exspectatione,  and  spe,  and  some  others,  chiefly  in  poetry,  take  the  place 
of  a  sentence  with  quam  :  as, 

opinibne  melius,  PI.  Cas.  338,  better  than  you  thought,  minora  opini- 
one,  Caes.  C.  2,  31,  5,  more  insignificant  than  is  thought,  latius  opinione 
disseminatum  est  hoc  malum,  C.  4,  6,  this  infection  is  more  sweeping  than 
anybody  dreams,  spe  omnium  serius,  L.  2,  3,  1,  later  than  was  generally 
expected. 


II.  THE  LOCATIVE  ABLATIVE. 

(A.)  THE  LOCATIVE  PROPER. 

1331.  (1.)  Singular  proper  names  of  towns  and  of 
little  islands  are  put  in  the  locative  to  denote  the  place 
in  or  at  which  action  occurs :  as,

quid  Romae  faciam  ?  mentiri  nescio,  J.  3,  41,  what  can  I  do  in  Rome? 
I  don't  know  how  to  lie.  Corinthi  et  Karthagini,  Agr.  2,  90,  at  Corinth 
and  at  Carthage.  LacedaemonI,  N.  praef  4,  i>i  Lacedaemon.  Tiburi,  Att. 
16,  3,  1,  at  Tibur.  Rhodi,  Fam.  4,  7,  4,  at  Rhodes,  mansiones  diutinae 
Lemni,  T.  Ph.  1012,  protracted  stays  at  Lemnos  (1301).  Sometimes  in 
dates:  as,  data  Thessalonicae,  Att.  3,  20,  3, given  at  Thessalonica  (130 7). 
The  locative  rarely  means  near-,  as,  Antii,  L.  22,  1,  io,  round  about  Antium. 
In  Plautus  only  two  singular  town  names  with  consonant  stems  occur,  and 
these  regularly  in  the  locative,  Carthagini  and  Sicyoni,  three  times  each; 
once  in  a  doubtful  example,  Sicydne,  Cist.  128.  Terence  has  no  examples 
of  these  stems.  From  Cicero  on,  the  locative  ablative  is  commoner  with 

them  (1343)- 

1332.  With  an  adjective  attribute  also,  the  locative  is  used  :  as,  Team  Apuli, 
Chi.  27,  at  the  Apulian  Teaman.  Suessae  Auruncae,  L.  32,  9,  3,  at  the 
Auruncan  Suessa.  The  appellative  forum,  market  place ,  used,  with  an  attribute, 
as  a  proper  name,  is  sometimes  put  in  the  accusative  with  ad  :  as,  Claternae,  ad 
Forum  Cornelium,  Fam.  12,  5,  2,  at  Claterna  and  at  Forum  Cornclium ; 
sometimes  in  the  locative  ablative  :  For5  lull,  Plin.  Ep.  5,  19,  7. 

1333-  When  the  locative  is  further  explained  by  an  appellative  following,  the 
appellative  is  put  in  the  locative  ablative,  either  alone,  or  with  in  :  as,  Antiochlae, 
celebri  quondam  urbe,  Arch.  4,  at  Antioch ,  once  a  bustling  town.  Neapoli, 
in  celeberrimo  oppid5,  RabP.  26,  at  Neapolis,  a  town  swarming  with  people. 
An  appellative  in  the  ablative  with  in  may  be  further  defined  by  a  proper  name  in  the 
locative:  as,  duabus  in  Insulis,  Melitae  et  Sami,  V.  5, 1S4,  in  two  islands — at 
Melita  and  Samos,  in  oppido,  Antiochlae,  Att.  5,  18,  1,  within  town  walls  — 
at  Antioch,  in  secessu,  Apoll5niae,  Suet.  Aug.  94,  out  of  town — at  Apollonia. 
Or  in  the  ablative:  as,  in  oppido  Citio,  N.  5,  3,  4,  in  the  town  of  Citium,  in 
urbe  Roma,  L.  39,  14,  7,  in  the  city  of  Rome. 

1334.  In  Plautus,  singular  town  names  with  stems  in  -a-  or  -o-  are  put  in  the 
locative  ten  or  twelve  times,  in  the  ablative  with  in  some  fifteen  times.  Three  such 
have  only  in,  never  the  locative:  in  Anactorio,  Poen.  896,  in  Seleucia,  Tri. 
901,  in  Sparta,  Poen.  663 ;  furthermore,  in  Epidamno,  Men.  267,  380  twice,  in 
EphesS,  B.  309,  MG.  441,  778,  and  in  EpidaurS,  Cur.  341,  429,  E.  540,  541, 
534,  but  also  EpidamnI,  Men.  prol.  51,  Ephesi,  B.  336,  1047,  MG.  648,  and 
Epidauri,  E.  636.  Terence,  who  has  only  -o-  stems,  uses  the  locative  six  times, 
the  ablative  with  in  four  times:  only  with  in:  in  Andro,  Andr.  931,  in  ImbrS, 
Hec.  171.  Furthermore  in  Lemno,  Ph.  873,  1004,  but  also  Lemni,  Ph.  680,  942, 
1013.  Also  Mileti,  Ad.  654,  Rhodi,  Eu.  107,  Sunil,  Eu.  519. 

1335-  A  town  name  is  sometimes  put  in  the  ablative  with  in  by  assimilation  with 
a  parallel  in  :  as,  in  Illyricd,  in  ipsa  Alexandria,  Att.  11, 16, 1,  in  Illyricum , 
and  at  Alexandrea  itself.  Antiochum  in  Syria,  Ptclemaeum  in  Alexan¬ 
dria  esse,  L.  42,  26,  7.  that  Antiochus  was  in  Syria ,  Ptolemy  at  Alexandria,  in 
monte  Albano  Lavinibque,  L.  5,  52,  8,  on  the  Alban  mount  and  at  Lavinium. 
Also  without  assimilation:  as,  navis  et  in  Caieta  est  parata  nobis  et  Brun- 
dusii,  Att.  8,  3,  6,  we  have  a  vessel  all  chartered ,  one  in  Cajeta  and  one  at 
Brundusium.  in  Hispali,  Caes.  C.  2,  iS,  1,  in  Hispalis. 

1336-  With  country  names,  the  locative  is  very  exceptional  :  as,  Chersonesi, 
N.  1,  2,  4,  at  the  Peninsula.  Aegypti,  Val.  M.  4,  1,  15,  in  Egypt.  Similarly 
Accherunti,  PI.  Cap.  6S9,  998,  Mer.  606,  Tru.  749,  in  Acheron;  Accherunte 
however  once  :  Accheruntest,  PI.  Poen.  431.  In  Sallust,  Romae  Numidiae- 
que,  /.  33,  4,  with  assimilation  of  Numidiae  to  Romae. 

1337.  (2*)  The  locatives  doml,  ruri,  humi,  and  rarely  orbi, 
are  used  like  proper  names  of  towns :  as,

The  Noun:  Ablative. 


[1338-1342 


(a.)  cenabo  domi,  PL  St.  482,  I  shall  dine  at  home.  Metaphorically, 
domi  est,  nascitur,  or  habeo,  I  can  get  at  home,  I  need  not  go  abroad  for,  or 
I  have  in  plenty :  as,  id  quidem  domi  est,  Alt.  10,  14,  2,  as  for  that ,  I  have 
it  myself .  With  a  possessive  pronoun  or  alienus  in  agreement,  either  the 
locative  is  used,  or  the  ablative  with  in  ;  for  domui,  as,  Off.  3,  99,  see  594; 
with  other  adjectives  the  ablative  with  in.  {b.)  run,  T.  Ph.  363,  up  in  the 
country ;  for  rure,  see  1344  and  1345.  (c.)  humi,  on  the  ground,  or  to  the

2,  50,  11,  domi  militiaeque,  TD.  5,  55,  militiae  et  domi,  T.  Ad.  495,  at  home

PI.  B.  205,  MG.  273,  in  the  next  neighbourhood,  terrae,  L.  5,  51,  9,  in  the  earth. 
With  verbs  of  suspense,  doubt,  and  distress,  and  with  many  adjectives,  animi,  in  soul, 
is  not  infrequent ;  and  animi  being  mistaken  for  a  genitive,  mentis  is  also  used:  as, 
desipiebam  mentis,  PL  E.  138,  /  was  beside  myself.  Oftener  animo  (1344). 

1340.  Many  original  locatives  have  become  set  as  adverbs  :  as,  peregri,  abroad. 
Particularly  of  pronouns  :  as,  illi,  PL  Am.  249,  off  there,  oftener  illic  ;  isti  or  istic, 
hie  ;  sometimes  further  defined  by  an  added  expression;  as,  hie  viciniae,  T.  Ph.  95, 
here  in  the  neighbourhood,  hie  proxumae  viciniae,  MG.  273,  here  in  the  house 
next  door .  hie  in  Veneris  fan5  meae  viciniae,  PL  R.  613,  here ,  in  the  shrine 
of  Venus ,  in  my  neighbourhood,  hie  Romae,  Arch.  5,  here  in  Rome.

DO.  2,  13,  last  evening.  In  Plautus,  die  septimi,  Men.  1156,  Per.  260,  on  the 
seventh  day,  mane  sane  septimi,  Men.  1157,  bright  and  early  on  the  seventh,  die

day,  daily,  pridie,  the  day  before. 


(B.)  THE  ABLATIVE  USED  AS  LOCATIVE.

1342.  (1.)  Plural  proper  names  of  towns  and  of  little 
islands  are  put  in  the  locative  ablative  to  denote  the 
place  in  or  at  which  action  occurs  :  as,

crassum  Thebls,  Fat.  7,  in  Athens  the  air  is  thin,  at  Thebes  it  is  thick,  locus 
ostenditur  Capreis,  Suet.  Tib.  62,  the  place  is  pointed  out  at  Capreae.  Rarely 
with  substantives  of  action  (1301) :  as,  mansio  Formiis,  Att.  9,  5,  1,  the  stay 
at  Formiae.  With  an  attribute  :  Athenis  tuis,  Att.  16,  6,  2,  in  your  darling

1343.  (2.)  Singular  proper  names  of  towns  with  consonant

1347.  (4.)  With  country  names  and  most  appellatives,  the  place 
where  is  generally  expressed  by  the  ablative  with  in.  But  even  with¬

The  Ablative  Absolute. 

1362.  (1.)  The  ablative  of  a  substantive,  with  a 
predicate  participle  in  agreement,  is  used  to  denote 
an  attendant  circumstance  of  an  action. 

In  this  construction,  which  is  called  the  Ablative  Absolute,  [a.)  the  present 
participle  is  sometimes  used :  as,  nullo  hoste  prohibente  incolumem  le- 
gionem  in  Nantuatis  perduxit,  3,  6,  5,  with  no  enemy  hindering ,  he  con¬ 
ducted  the  legion  in  safety  to  the  Nantuates.  Much  oftener,  however,  (b.)  the 
perfect  participle:  as,  hoc  responso  dato  discessit,  1,  14,  7,  this  answer 
given  he  went  away,  (c.)  The  future  participle  is  also  used  in  the  ablative 
absolute  from  Livy  on:  as,  hospite  venturS,  cessabit  nemo  tuorum,  J. 
14,  59,  a  visitor  to  come,  your  slaves  will  bustle  each  and  all. 

1363.  A  predicate  ablative  with  a  participle  meaning  made,  kept,  chosen,  or  the 
like,  occurs  in  Cicero,  Caesar,  Nepos.  and  Livy,  but  is  rare  (1167)  :  as,  Dolabella 
hoste  decreto,  Ph.  1 1,  16,  Dolabella  having  been  voted  an  enemy  of  the  state. 

1364.  The  perfect  participles  of  deponents  used  actively  in  the  ablative  absolute, 
are  chiefly  those  of  intransitive  use,  such  as  natus,  mortuus,  ortus,  profectus. 
From  Sallust  on,  other  perfect  deponent  participles  also  are  used  actively  with  an  ac¬ 
cusative.  Cicero  an^  Caesar  use  a  few  deponent  participles,  such  as  emeritus, 
pactus,  partitus,  depopulatus,  as  passives,  and  later  authors  use  many  other 
participles  so. 

I3^5*  (2-)  The  ablative  of  a  substantive,  with  a  predicate 
noun  in  agreement,  is  often  used  to  denote  an  attendant  cir¬ 
cumstance  of  an  action  :  as,

brevitatem  secutus  sum  te  magistrS,  Fam.  n,  25,  1, 1  aimed  at  brevity 
with  you'  as  a  teacher,  natus  dls  inimicis,  PI.  Most.  563,  born  under  wrath  of 
gods.  M.  Messala  et  M.  Pisone  consulibus,  1,  2,  1,  in  the  consulship  of 
Messala  and  Fiso.  ist5  praetore  venit  Syracusas,  V.  4,  61,  in  the  defen¬ 
dant' s  praetorship  he  came  to  Syracuse. 

1366.  The  nominative  quisque,  plerique,  or  ipse,  sometimes  accompanies 
the  ablative  absolute:  as,  causa  ipse  prd  se  dicta,  damnatur,  L.  4,  44,  10,  he 

is  condemned  after  pleading  his  case  in  person. 

1367-  The  ablative  absolute  may  denote  in  a  loose  way  various  re¬ 
lations  which  might  be  more  distinctly  expressed  by  subordinate  sen¬ 
tences. 

So  particularly :  (a.)  Time:  as,  tertia  inita  vigilia  exercitum  educit, 
Caes.  C.  3,  54,  2,  at  the  beginning  of  the  third  watch  he  leads  the  army  out. 
(b.)  Cause  or  means:  as,  C.  Flaminium  Caelius  rfiligione  neglecta  ceci- 
disse  apud  Trasumenum  scribit,  DN.  2,  8,  Caelius  writes  that  Flaminius 
fell  at  Trasumaie  in  consequence  of  his  neglect  of  religious  observances, 
(c.)  Concession:  as,  id  paucis  defendentibus  expugnare  non  potuit,  2, 

1  2.  2,  though  the  defenders  zvere  few,  he  could  not  take  it  by  storm,  (d.)  Hy¬ 
pothesis  :  as,  quae  potest  esse  vitae  iucunditas  sublatis  amlcitils  ?  FI. 
80,  what  pleasure  can  there  be  in  life ,  if  you  take  friendships  away  ?  [e.)  De¬ 

scription  :  as,  domum  venit  capite  obvolutd,  Fh.  2,  77,  he  came  home  'with 
his  head  all  muffled  up. 

1368.  It  may  be  seen  from  the  examples  above  that  a  change  of  construction  is 
often  desirable  in  translating  the  ablative  absolute.  Particularly  so  in  many  set  idio¬ 
matic  expressions :  as,  nulla  interposita  mora,  Caes.  C.  3,  75,  1,  -without  a  mo¬ 
ment' s  delay,  instantly.  equ5  admissb,  1,  22, .2,  equo  citato,  Caes.  C.  3,  96,3, 
full  gallop,  clamore  sublatb,  7, 12,  5,  with  a  round  of  cheers,  bene  re  gesta 
salvos  redeo,  Pi.  Tri.  1182,  crowned  with  success  I  come  back  safe  and  sound. 

1369.  The  substantive  of  the  ablative  absolute  usually  denotes  a  different 
person  or  thing  from  any  in  the  main  sentence.  But  exceptions  to  this  usage 
sometimes  occur :  as, 

quibus  auditis,  eos  domum  remittit,  4,  21, 6,  after  listening  to  these  men , 
he  sends  them  home  again,  si  ego  me  sciente  paterer,  PI.  MG.  559,  if  I 
should  'wittingly  myself  allcrw,  more  emphatic  than  sciens.  se  iudice  nemo 
nocens  absolvitur,  J.  13,  2,  himself  the  judge,  no  criminal  gets  free. 

1370-  T  wo  ablatives  absolute  often  occur  together,  of  which  the  first  indicates  the 
time,  circumstances,  or  cause  of  the  second:  as,  exauditd  clamSre  perturbatis 
5rdinibus,  2,  11,5,  the  ranks  being  demoralized  from  hearing  the  shouts,  con- 
sumptis  omnibus  telis  gladii's  destrictis,  Caes.  C.  1,  46,  1,  drawing  their 
swords  after  expending  all  their  missiles. 

1371.  The  substantive  is  sometimes  omitted  in  the  ablative  absolute,  particularly 

when  it  is  a  general  word  for  a  person  or  a  thing  which  is  explained  by  a  relative:  as, 
praemissls,  qui  repurgarent  iter,  L.  44,  4,  n,  se?iding  sappers  and  miners 
ahead  to  clear  a  way.  relatis  ordine,  quae  vidisserit,  L.  42,  25,  2,  telling 
circumstantially  ail  they  had  seen.  ^ 

1372.  The  ablative  neuter  of  some  perfect  participles  is  used  impersonally  (1034). 
This  use  is  rare  in  old  Latin,  in  classical  Latin  commonest  in  Cicero,  and  afterwards 
in  Livy:  as,  auspicato,  DN.  2,  1 1 ,  with  auspices  taken,  sortitb,  V  2,  126,  lots 
being  drawn ,  or  by  lot.  Such  ablatives  readily  become  adverbs  (704).  Substantives 
are  also .  sometimes  used  alone:  as,  austrd,  Div.  2,  58,  when  the  wind  is  south. 
tranquillitate,  Piin.  Fp.  8,  20,  6,  when  it  is  calm,  sereno,  L.  37,  3,  3,  the  day 
being  clear.

The  Noun:  Ablative. 


[1373-1377- 


1373.  The  ablative  neuter  of  some  perfect  participles  is  occasionally  used  in  agree¬ 
ment  with  a  sentence  or  an  infinitive:  as,  cSgnitS  vivere  Ptolomaeum,  L.  33, 
41,  5,  it  being  known  that  Ptolomy  was  alive.  This  construction  is  not  used  in  old 
Latin,  and  is  rare  in  classical  Latin,  but  common  in  Livy  and  Tacitus.  So  adjectives 
also  :  as,  incertd  quid  vitarent,  L.  28,36,  12,  it  not  being  obvious  what  they  were 
to  steer  clear  of. 

1374.  The  ablative  absolute  is  sometimes  attended,  especially  in  Livy  and  Tacitus, 
bv  an  explanatory  word,  such  as  etsi,  tamen,  nisi,  quasi,  quamquam,_or 
quamvis  :  as,  etsi  aliqu5  accepts  detriments,  tamen  summa  exercitus 
salva,  Caes.  C.  1,  67,  5,  though  with,  some  loss ,  yet  with  the  safety  of  the  army  as  a 
whole. 

The  Ablative  of  Ouality. 

1 37 5 -  The  ablative  with  an  adjective  in  agreement  or  with  a 
limiting  genitive  is  used  to  denote  quality,  either  predicatively

(«.)  Predicatively:  capillS  sunt  prSmissS,  5,  14,  3,  they  have  long  hair, 
or  let  their  hair  grow  long,  singular!  fuit  industria,  N.  24,  3,  I,  he  had  tin-

of  a  stag.  Compare  the  genitive  of  quality  (1239). 

The  Ablative  of  the  Route  taken. 

1376.  The  instrumental  ablative  is  used  with  verbs  of  motion  to 
denote  the  route  taken:  as. 

Aurelia  via  profectus  est,  C  2,  6,  he  has  gone  off  by  the  Aurelia  Road. 
omnibus  viis  semitisque  essedariSs  ex  silvis  emittebat,  5,  19,  2,  he  kept

pabulatum  mittebat,  Caes.  C.  I,  40,  1,  by  these  bridges  he  sent  foraging. 
frumentum  Tiberi  venit,  L.  2,  34,  5,  some  grain  came  by  the  Tiber,  lupus

through  the  Capene  gate,  almost  unscathed.  This  construction  gives  rise  to 
some  adverbs  :  see  707.  The  ablative  of  the  route  is  sometimes  used  with  a 
substantive  of  action  ( 1301):  as,  navigatio  infero,  Att.  9,  5,  1,  the  cruise  by  the 
lower  sea.  eodem  flumine  invectio,  Tin.  5,  70,  entrance  by  the  same  river.

few.  centenaque  arbore  fluctum  verberat,  V.  10,  207,  and zuith  an  hundred 
beatns  at  every  stroke  the  zuave  he  smites.  Rarely  with  substantives  denoting 
action  (1301)  :  as,  gestores  linguis,  auditores  auribus,  PI.  Ps.  429,  repor¬ 
ters  with  their  tongues  and  listeners  with  their  ears,  teneris  labellis  molles 
morsiunculae,  PI.  Ps.  67  a,  caressing  bites  with  velvet  lips. 

I378-  When  the  instrument  is  a  person,  the  accusative  with  per  is  used:  as, 
haec  quoque  per  exploratores  ad  hostes  deferuntur,  6,  7,  9,  this  too  is  re¬ 
ported  to  the  enemy  through  the  medium  of  scouts.  Or  a  circumlocution,  such  as

sive;  as,  deum  virtute  multa  bona  bene  parta  habemus,  PI.  Tri.  346, 
thanks  to  the  gods,  we've  many  a  pretty  penny  prettily  put  by.  mea  opera  Ta- 
rentum  recepisti,  CM.  n,  it  was  through  me  you  got  Tarentnm  back.  Rarely

testibus,  Mil.  47,  they  are  cast  by  their  own  witnesses. 

r379-  The  instrumental  ablative  is  used  with  the  five  deponents  fruor, 
fungor,  potior,  utor,  vescor,  and  several  of  their  compounds,  and  with 
usus  est  and  opus  est :  as, 

pace  numquam  fruemur,  Ph.  7,  19,  zue  never  shall  enjoy  ourselves  with

chlamyde,  PI.  Ps.  734,  there  is  a  job  zvith  a  cloak,  i.  e.  zee  need  a  cloak. 

1380.  Instead  of  the  instrumental  ablative,  some  of  the  above  verbs  take  the 
accusative  occasionally  in  old  Latin :  thus,  in  Plautus  and  Terence,  always  abutor, 
also  fungor,  except  once  in  Terence;  fruor  in  Cato  and  Terence,  and  perfruor  in 
Lucretius,  once  each ;  potior  twice  in  Plautus  and  three  times  in  Terence,  often  also 
the  genitive  (1292).  The  gerundive  of  these  verbs  is  commonly  used  personally  in  the 
passive,  as  if  the  verbs  were  regularly  used  transitively. 

1381.  utor  often  has  a  second  predicative  ablative  :  as,  administris  druidibus 
utuntur,  6,  16,  2,  they  zise  the  druids  as  assistants,  facili  me  utetur  patre,  T. 
Hau.  217,  an  easy-going  father  he  will  find  in  me. 

1382.  usus  est  and  opus  est  sometimes  take  a  neuter  participle,  especially  in 
old  Latin:  as,  viso  opust  cautost  opus,  PI.  Cap.  225,  there's  need  of  sight , 
there's  need  of  care.  Sometimes  the  ablative  with  a  predicate  participle  :  as,  celeri- 
ter  ml  eo  homine  conventost  opus,  PI.  Cur.  302,  /  needs  must  see  that  man 

at  once. 

1383*  With  opus  est,  the  thing  wanted  is  often  made  the  subject  nominative 
or  subject  accusative,  with  opus  in  the  predicate:  as,  dux  nobis  et  auctor  opus 
est,  Fam.  2,  6,  4,  we  need  a  leader  and  adviser.  Usually  so  when  the  thing  needed 
is  a  neuter  adjective  or  neuter  pronoun:  as,  multa  sib!  opus  esse,  V.  1,  126,  that 
he  needed  much.  A  genitive  dependent  on  opus  is  found  once  or  twice  in  late  Latin 
(1227).

The  Noun :  A  blative.  [  1 384- 1388. 


1384.  usus  est  is  employed  chiefly  in  comedy,  but  also  once  or  twice  in  Cicero,

authority  of  consul.  For  the  genitive  with  compleo  and  impleo,  see  1293. 

1387.  The  ablative  is  sometimes  used  with  adjectives  of  fulness,  instead  of  the 
regular  genitive  (1263).  Thus,  in  later  Latin,  rarely  with  plenus  :  as,  maxima 
quaeque  domus  servis  est  plena  superbis,  T.  5,  66,  a  grand  establishment 
is  always  full  of  stuck-up  slaves,  et  ille  quidem  plenus  annis  abiit,  plenus 
honoribus,  Plin.  Ep.  2,  1,  7,  well ,  as  for  him ,  he  has  passed  away ,  full  of  years 
and  full  of  honours.  So  in  Cicero  and  Caesar,  once  each.  Also  with  dives  in  poe- 
try,  and,  from  Livy  on,  in  prose.  With  refertus,  the  ablative  of  things  is  common, 
while  persons  are  usually  in  the  genitive  (1263).  With  onustus,  the  ablative  is  gen¬ 
erally  used,  rarely  the  genitive. 


The  Ablative  of  Measure,  Exchange,  and  Price. 

1388.  The  instrumental  ablative  is  used  with  verbs  of  meas¬ 
uring  and  of  exchanging,  and  in  expressions  of  value  and  price  :

1389.  With  muts  and  commuto,  the  ablative  usually  denotes  the  thing  re¬ 
ceived.  But  sometimes  in  Plautus,  and  especially  in  Horace,  Livy,  and  late  prose,  it 
denotes  the  thing  parted  with  :  as,  cur  valle  permutem  Sabina  divitias  ope- 
rosidres  ?  H.  3,  1,  47,  why  change  my  Sabine  dale  for  wealth  that  brings  more

commutare,  Sulp.  in  F  am.  4,  5,  3,  to  exchange  life  for  death. 

1390.  The  ablative  of  price  or  value  is  thus  used  chiefly  with  verbs  or 
verbal  expressions  of  bargaining,  buying  or  selling,  hiring  or  letting,  costing, 
being  cheap  or  dear.  Also  with  aestimd,  of  a  definite  price,  and  sometimes 
magno,  permagnS  (1273). 

1391.  The  ablatives  thus  used,  are  (a.)  those  of  general  substantives  of 
value  and  price,  such  as  pretium,  ( b .)  numerical  designations  of  money, 
or  (r.)  neuter  adjectives  of  quantity,  magnS,  permagnS,  quam  plurimo,

The  Noun:  Ablative. 


[i  394-1400- 


1394.  In  expressions  of  time,  the  accusative  is  sometimes  used  with  post,  less 
frequently  with  ante,  as  prepositions,  instead  of  the  ablative  of  difference  :  as,  post 
paucos  dies,  L.  21,  51,  2,  post  dies  paucos,  L.  37,  13,  6,  paucos  post  dies, 
L.  33,  39,  2,  after  a  few  days,  paucds  ante  dies,  L.  39,  28,  4,  dies  ante 
paucos,  L.  31,  24,  5,  a  few  days  before.  With  this  prepositional  construction, 
ordinals  are  common  :  as,  post  diem  tertium,  4,  9,  x,  after  the  third  day ,  accord¬ 
ing  to  the  Roman  way  of  reckoning,  i.  e.  the  next  day  but  one. 

1395.  (1.)  When  the  time  before  or  after  which  anything  occurs  is  de¬ 
noted  by  a  substantive,  the  substantive  is  put  in  the  accusative  with  ante  or 
post :  as, 

paulo  ante  tertiam  vigiliam,  7,  24,  2,  a  little  before  the  third  watch. 
biduS  ante  victoriam,  Fam.  10,  14,  1,  the  day  but  one  before  the  victory. 
paucis  diebus  post  mortem  African!,  L.  3,  a  few  days  after  the  death  of 
Africanus.  — 

1396.  Sometimes  in  late  writers,  as  Tacitus,  Pliny  the  younger,  and  Suetonius,  a 
genitive  is  loosely  used :  as,  sextum  post  cladis  annum,  Ta.  1,  62,  i.e.  sexto 
post  cladem  anno,  six  years  after  the  humiliating  defeat,  post  decimum 
mortis  annum,  Plin.  Ef.  6,  10,  3,  ten  years  after  his  death.  Similarly  intra 
sextum  adoptionis  diem,  Suet.  Galb.  17,  not  longer  than  six  days  after  the 
adoption-day. 

1397.  (2.)  When  the  time  before  or  after  which  anything  occurs  is  de¬ 
noted  by  a  sentence,  the  sentence  may  be  introduced  : 

(a.)  By  quam  :  as,  post  diem  tertium  gesta  res  est  quam  dixerat, 

Mil.  44,  it  took  place  two  days  after  he  said  it.  With  quam,  post  is  sometimes 
omitted.  Or  (b.)  less  frequently  by  cum:  as,  quern  triduo,  cum  has  da- 
bam  litteras,  exspectabam,  Plane,  in  Fam.  10,  23,  3,  lam  looking  for  him 
three  days  after  this  writing  (1601).  For  a  relative  pronoun  sentence,  see 
1354. 

1398.  Verbs  of  surpassing  sometimes  have  an  accusative  of  extent  (1151):  as, 
miramur  hunc  hominem  tantum  excellere  ceteris?  IP.  39,  are  rue  sur¬ 
prised  that  this  man  so  far  outshines  everybody  else  ?  With  comparatives,  the 
accusative  is  rare  :  as,  aliquantum  inlquior,  T.  Hau.  201,  somewhat  too  hard. 
Similarly  permultum  ante,  Fam.  3,  11,  1,  long  long  before. 

I3gg.  In  numerical  designations  of  distance,  the  words  intervallum  and  spa- 
tium  are  regularly  put  in  the  ablative:  as,  rex  vi  milium  passuum  intervallS 
a  Saburra  consederat,  Caes.  C.  2,  38,  3,  the  king  had  pitched  six  miles  away 
from  Saburra.

TWO  OR  MORE  ABLATIVES  COMBINED. 

1400.  Two  or  more  ablatives  denoting  different  relations  are 
often  combined  in  the  same  sentence  :  as, 

Menippus,  meo  iudicio  (1385)  tota  Asia  (1346)  illis  temporibus  (1350) 
disertissimus,  Br.  315,  Menippus ,  in  my  opinion  the  most  gifted  speaker  of 
that  day  in  all  Asia,  hac  habita  Sratione  (1362)  militibus  studiS  (1316) 
pugnae  ardentibus  (1370)  tuba  (1377)  signum  dedit,  Caes.  C.  3,  90,  4, 
seeing  that  his  soldiers  were  hot  for  battle  after  this  speech ,  he  gave  the  signal 
jby  trumpet.

USE  OF  CASES  WITH  PREPOSITIONS. 

1401.  Two  cases,  the  accusative  and  the  ablative, 
are  used  with  prepositions. 

1402.  Prepositions  were  originally  adverbs  which  served  to 
define  more  exactly  the  meaning  of  a  verb. 

Thus,  endo,  in,  on,  the  older  form  of  in,  is  an  adverb,  in  an  injunction 
occurring  in  a  law  of  the  Twelve  Tables,  451  b.c.,  manum  endo  iacitd, 
let  him  lay  hand  on.  Similarly,  trans,  over,  in  transque  dato,  and  he  must 
hand  over,  i.  e.  traditSque. 

1403.  In  the  course  of  time  such  adverbs  became  verbal  prefixes;  the  verbs  com¬ 
pounded  with  them  may  take  the  case,  accusative  or  ablative,  required  by  the  meaning 
of  the  compound.  Thus,  amicos  ade5,  /  go  to  my  friends  (1137) ;  urbe  exe5, 
I  go  out  of  town  (1302). 

1404.  For  distinctness  or  emphasis,  the  prefix  of  the  verb  may  be  repeated  before 
the  case :  as,  ad  amicos  aded  ;  ex  urbe  exeo.  And  when  it  is  thus  separately 
expressed  before  the  case,  it  may  be  dropped  from  the  verb :  as,  ad  amicds  eo  ;  ex 
urbe  eo. 

1405.  The  preposition  thus  detached  from  the  verb  becomes  an 
attendant  on  a  substantive,  and  serves  to  show  the  relation  of  the 
substantive  in  a  sentence  more  distinctly  than  the  case  alone  could. 

1406.  A  great  many  adverbs  which  are  never  used  in  composition  with 
a  verb  likewise  become  prepositions  :  as,  apud,  circiter,  infra,  iuxta,  pone, 
propter,  &c.,  &c.  The  inflected  forms  of  substantives,  pridie,  postridie 
(1413),  tenus  (1420),  and  fini  (1419),  are  also  sometimes  used  as  preposi¬ 
tions.  And  vicem  (1145),  causa,  gratia,  ndmine,  erg5  (1257),  resemble 
prepositions  closely  in  meaning. 

1407.  A  trace  of  the  original  adverbial  use  of  prepositions  is  sometimes  retained, 
chiefly  in  poetry,  when  the  prefix  is  separated  from  its  word  by  what  is  called  Tmesis : 
as,  ire  inque  gredi,  i.  e.  ingredique,  Lucr.  4,  887,  to  walk  and  to  step  off.  per 
mihi  mirum  visum  est,  DO.  1,  214,  passing  strange  it  seemed  to  me. 

1408.  F.ven  such  words  as  are  used  almost  exclusively  as  prepositions  sometimes 
retain  their  original  adverbial  meaning  also  :  as,  adque  adque,  E.  in  Gell.  10,  29,  2, 
and  up  and  up,  and  on  and  on,  or  and  nearer  still  and  still  more  near,  occisis  ad 
hominurn  milibus  quattuor,  2,  33,  5,  about  four  thousand  men  being  killed. 
susque  deque,  Att.  14,  6,  1,  up  and  dotvn ,  topsy  turvy ,  no  matter  how. 

1409.  On  the  other  hand,  some  verbal  prefixes  are  never  used  as  separate  preposi¬ 
tions  with  a  substantive.  These  are  called  Inseparable  Prepositions;  they  are: 
amb-,  round,  an-,  up,  dis-}  in  two ,  por-,  towards ,  r6d-,  back.  Usually  also 
sed-,  apart  (1417). 


Prepositions  used  with  the  Accusative. 

1410.  The  accusative  is  accompanied  by  the  following 
prepositions : 


228 


The  Noun  :  Preposition.  [  1 4 1 1  - 1 4 1 7. 


ad,  to,  adversus  or  adversum,  towards,  against ,  ante,  in  composition 
also  antid-,  before,  apud,  necir ,  at,  circa,  circum,  circiter,  round ,  about,  cis, 
citra,  this  side  of,  contra,  opposite  to,  erga,  towards ,  extra,  outside,  infra,

possession  of  per,  through ,  pone,  post,  in  Plautus  postid,  poste,  pos,  behind, 
praeter,  past,  prope  (propius,  proxime),  propter,  near,  secundum,  after, 
subter,  under,  supra,  above,  trans,  across,  uls,  ultra,  beyond.  For  the 
various  shades  of  meaning  and  applications  of  these  prepositions,  see  the 
dictionary. 

1411.  Prepositions  which  accompany  the  accusative  may  be 
easily  remembered  in  this  order : 

ante,  apud,  ad,  adversum, 
circum,  cis,  ob,  trans,  secundum, 
penes,  pone,  prope,  per, 
post,  and  all  in  -a  and  -ter. 

1412.  Of  the  above  named  words  some  are  not  used  as  prepositions  till 
a  relatively  late  period. 

Thus,  infra  is  first  used  as  a  preposition  by  Terence  ;  circa,  citra, 
contra,  and  ultra,  are  first  used  as  prepositions  about  Cicero’s  time.  In 
Cicero  and  Sallust,  iuxta  is  still  used  only  as  an  adverb,  in  Caesar  and 
Nepos  as  a  preposition. 

1413.  The  substantive  forms  pridie,  the  day  before ,  and  postridie,  the  day 
after,  are  sometimes  used  with  an  accusative  like  prepositions,  mostly  in  Cicero,  to 
denote  dates:  as,  pridie  nonas  Maias,  Att.  2,  11,  2,  the  day  before  the  nones  of 
May,  i.  e.  6  May.  postridie  ludos  Apollinaris,  Att.  16,  4,  1,  the  day  afta ■  the 
games  of  Apollo ,  i.  e.  6  July.  For  the  genitive  with  these  words,  see  1232. 

1414.  The  adverb  vorsus  or  versus,  wards,  occurs  as  a  preposition,  standing 
after  its  accusative,  once  in  Sallust,  Aegyptum  vorsus,  J.  19,  3,  Egyptwards, 
and  once  or  twice  in  Pliny  the  elder.  Exceptionally  and  late,  usque  :  as,  usque 
initium  pontis,  L.  44,  5,  6,  even  to  the  beginning  of  the  bridge. 

1415.  clam,  secretly ,  is  ordinarily  an  adverb.  But  in  old  Latin  it  is  used  very 
often  as  a  preposition,  unknown  to,  with  an  accusative  of  a  person.  Terence  has  once 
the  diminutive  form  clanculum,  Ad.  52.  Once  in  Caesar,  and  then  with  an  abla¬ 
tive,  clam  vobis,  C.  2,  32,  8,  without  your  kiiowledge. 

1416.  subter,  under ,  is  used  in  poetry,  once  by  Catullus  and  once  by  Vergil, 
with  the  locative  ablative :  as,  RhoeteS  subter  litore,  Cat.  65,  7,  beneath  Rhoe- 
teutn's  strand. 

Prepositions  used  with  the  Ablative. 

1417.  The  ablative  is  accompanied  by  the  following  preposi¬ 
tions  : 

abs,  ab,  or  a,  from,  cSram,  face  to  face,  de,  down  from,  from,  of,  ex  or 
e,  out  of,  prae,  at  the  fore,  in  front  of,  pro,  before,  quom  or  cum,  with,  sine, 
without.  In  official  or  legal  language,  also  sed  or  se,  without.  For  the  dif¬ 
ferent  classes  of  ablatives  with  these  prepositions,  see  1297-1300;  for  the 
various  shades  of  meanings  and  applications,  see  the  dictionary.

1418.  Prepositions  which  accompany  the  ablative  may  be 
easily  remembered  in  this  order : 

abs  (ab,  a),  cum,  coram,  de, 
prae,  pro,  sine,  ex  (or  e). 

1419.  The  ablative  fini,  as  far  as,  is  used  in  old  Latin  as  a  preposition  with  the 
ablative:  as,  osse  fini,  PI.  Men.  859,  down  to  the  bone,  operito  terra  radi- 
cibus  fini,  Cato,  RR.  28,  2,  cover  with  loam  the  length  of  the  roots.  Also,  as  a 
real  substantive,  with  a  genitive  (1255):  as,  ansarum  infimarum  fini,  Cato,  RR. 
1 1 3,  2,  up  to  the  bottom  of  the  handles.  Rarely  fine,  and  before  the  genitive:  as, 
fine  genus,  O.  10,  537,  as  far  as  the  knee. 

1420.  tenus,  the  length,  was  originally  a  substantive  accusative  (1151 ).  From 
Cicero  on,  it  is  used  as  a  preposition  with  the  ablative,  and  standing  after  its  case :  as, 
Tauro  tenus,  D.  36,  not  further  than  Taurus,  pectoribus  tenus,  L.  21,  54,  9, 
quite  up  to  the  breast,  hactenus,  thus  far,  only  thus  far.  Also,  as  a  real  sub¬ 
stantive,  with  a  genitive,  usually  a  plural,  mostly  in  verse  (1232J:  as,  labrdrum 
tenus,  Lucr.  1,  940,  the  length  of  the  lips ,  up  to  the  lips.  Cumarum  tenus, 
Cael.  in  F  am.  8,  1,  2,  as  far  as  Cumae. 

1421.  The  adverbs  palam,  in  presence  of,  procul,  apart  from,  either  near  ox 
far,  simul,  with ,  are  rarely  used  in  poetry  and  late  prose  as  prepositions  with  the 
ablative.  For  the  peculiar  use  of  absque  or  apsque  in  a  coordinate  protasis,  see 
the  dictionary  and  1701. 


Prepositions  used  with  the  Accusative  or 

the  Ablative. 

1422.  Two  cases,  the  accusative  and  the  ablative,  are  accompanied  by 
the  prepositions  in,  older  endo,  indu,  into,  in,  sub,  under,  and  super,  over , 
on. 

1423.  (1.)  in  and  sub  accompany  the  accusative  of  the  end 
of  motion,  the  locative  ablative  of  rest :  as, 

(a.)  in  curiam  venimus,  V.  4,  138,  we  went  to  the  senate-house,  in 
vincla  coniectus  est,  V.  5,  17,  he  was  put  in  irons,  hie  pagus  eius  exer- 
citum  sub  iugum  miserat,  1,  12,  5,  this  canton  had  sent  his  army  under 
the  yoke,  {b.)  erimus  in  castris,  Pit.  12,  28,  we  shall  be  in  camp,  viridi 
membra  sub  arbut5  stratus,  H.  1,  1,  21,  stretched  out  —  his  limbs  —  all  lender 
an  arbute  green. 

1424.  Verbs  of  rest  sometimes  have  in  with  the  accusative,  because  of 
an  implied  idea  of  motion.  And,  conversely,  verbs  of  motion  sometimes 
have  in  with  the  ablative,  because  of  an  implied  idea  of  rest :  as, 

(a.)  mihi  in  mentem  fuit,  PI.  Am.  180,  it  popped  into  my  head,  \.e. 
came  in  and  is  in  (compare  venit  hoc  mi  in  mentem,  PI.  Aul.  226.  in  eius 
potestatem  venire  nolebant,  V.  1,  150.  in  eorum  potestatem  portum  fu- 
turum  intellegebant,  V.  5,  98,  they  knew  full  well  the  haven  would  get  under 
the  control  of  these  people),  (b.)  Caesar  exercitum  in  hibernis  conlocavit, 
3,  29,  3,  Caesar  put  the  army  away  in  winter  quarters,  i.  e.  put  them  into  and 
left  them  in.  earn  in  lecto  conlocarunt,  T.  Eu.  593,  they  laid  the  lady  on 
her  couch.  So  commonly  with  loco,  conlocS,  statuo,  constituo,  p5no,  and 
its  compounds.  For  expon5  and  impono,  see  the  dictionary.

de,  about,  in  reference  to:  as,  hac  super  re  scribam  ad  te  RegiS,  Att.  16, 6,  i, 
I'll  write  you  about  this  from  Reg  non.  In  other  senses,  the  accusative,  but  some¬ 
times  in  poetry  the  ablative,  chiefly  in  the  sense  of  on:  as,  ligna  super  foco 
large  reponens,  H.  i,  9,  5,  filing  on  hearth  the  faggots  high,  nocte  super 
media,  V.  9,  61,  at  dead  of  night,  paulum  silvae  super  his,  H.  S.  2,  b,  3, 
a  bit  of  wood  to  crown  the  whole. 


Combination  of  Substantives  by  a  Preposition. 

1426.  (1.)  Two  substantives  are  sometimes  connected  by  a  preposition, 
to  indicate  certain  attributive  relations  (1043) ;  such  are  particularly: 

(a.)  Place:  as,  illam  pugnam  navalem  ad  Tenedum,  Mur.  33,  the  sea- 
fight  off  Tenedus.  excessum  e  vita,  Fin.  3,  60,  the  departure  from  life, 
(b.)  Source,  origin,  material:  as,  ex  Aethiopia  ancillulam,  T.  Eu.  165,  a 
lady’s  maid  from  Aethiopia.  pdcula  ex  auro,  V.  4,  62,  bowls  of  gold  (1314). 
(c.)  Direction  of  action,  connection,  separation :  as,  amor  in  patriam,  FI.  103, 
love  of  country.  vestra  erga  me  voluntas,  C.  4,  1,  your  good  will  towards 
me.  proelium  cum  Tuscis  ad  Ianiculum,  L.  2,  52,  7,  the  battle  with  the 
Tuscans  at  Janiculum.  vir  sine  metu,  TD.  5,  48,  a  man  devoid  of  fear  (1043). 

1427.  (2.)  Very  commonly,  however,  other  constructions  are  used,  even 
to  indicate  the  relations  above  :  as, 

bellum  Venetdrum,  3,  16,  1,  war  with  the  Venetans  (1231).  bello  Cas- 
siano,  1,  13,  2,  in  the  war  with  Cassius  (1233).  in  aureis  poculis,  V-  4,  54, 
in  golden  benvls  (1233).  scutis  ex  cortice  factis,  2,  33,  2,  with  long  shields 
made  out  of  bark  ( 13  f4).  post  victoriam  eius  belli,  quod  cum  Persis  fuit, 

Off.  3,  49,  after  the  victory  in  the  zuar  with  the  Persians. 

1428.  Prepositional  expressions  are  sometimes  used  predicatively  :  as,  sunt 
omnes  sine  macula,  PI.  6,  14,  they  are  all  without  spot  or  blemish.  And  some¬ 
times  they  are  equivalent  to  adjectives  :  as,  contra  naturam,  TD.  4,  n,  unnatural , 
supra  hominem,  DN.  2,  34,  superhuman .  Or  to  substantives :  as,  sine  pondere, 
O.  1,  20,  things  without  weight.  Or  to  adverbs  :  as,  sine  labore,  PI.  R.  461,  easily. 


Repetition  or  Omission  of  a  Preposition  with 
several  Substantives. 


1429.  (1.)  A  preposition  is  often  repeated  with  emphasis  before  two  or 
more  substantives :  as, 

in  labore  atque  in  dolore,  PI.  Ps.  6S5,  in  toil  and  in  trouble.  Particu¬ 
larly  so  with  et  .  .  .  et,  aut  .  .  .  aut,  non  solum  .  .  .  sed  etiam,  non  minus 
.  .  .  quam,  &c.,  &c. :  as,  et  ex  urbe  et  ex  agris,  C.  2,  21,  from  Rome  ana 
from  the  country  too. 

1430.  (2.)  A  preposition  is  often  used  with  the  first  only  of  two  or  more  substan¬ 
tives  :  as,  in  labore  ac  dolore,  TD.  5,  41,  in  toil  and  trouble,  incidit  in 
eandem  invidiam  quam  pater  suus,  N.  5,  3, 1,  he  fell  under  the  selfsame ■  ban 
as  his  father.  Particularly  when  the  second  is  in  apposition:  as,  cum  duobus 
ducibus,  Pyrrhd  et  Hannibale,  L.  28,  with  two  commanders ,  Pyrrhus  and 
Hannibal.

1431-1438-]  Sentences  :  The  Simple  Sentence. 


Two  Prepositions  with  one  Substantive. 

1431.  (1.)  When  two  prepositions  belong  to  one  and  the  same  substan¬ 
tive,  the  substantive  is  expressed  with  the  first.  With  the  second,  the 
substantive  is  repeated,  or  its  place  is  taken  by  a  pronoun  :  as, 

contra  legem  proque  lege,  L.  34,  8,  1,  against  the  law  and  for  the  laiv. 
partim  contra  Avitum,  partim  prd  hoc,  Clu.  88,  partly  against  Avitus , 
partly  for  him.  If,  however,  the  two  prepositions  accompany  the  same  case, 
the  substantive  need  not  be  repeated :  as,  intra  extraque  munitiones, 
Caes.  C.  3,  72,  2,  inside  and  outside  the  works. 

1432.  (2.)  The  second  preposition  is  often  used  adverbially,  without  any  substan¬ 
tive  :  as,  et  in  corpore  et  extra,  Fin.  2,  68,  both  in  the  body  and  outside. 


Position  of  Prepositions. 

1433.  In  general  a  preposition  precedes  its  case:  see  178. 

1434.  Disyllabic  prepositions  sometimes  follow  their  substantives.  Thus, 
in  Cicero,  contra,  ultra,  and  sine,  sometimes  stand  after  a  relative;  so 
likewise  inter  in  Cicero,  Caesar,  and  Sallust ;  occasionally  also  penes  and 
propter.  For  versus,  see  1414  ;  for  flni,  1419;  for  tenus,  1420. 

M35-  of  monosyllables,  ad  and  de  often  follow  a  relative.  Also  cum 
often  in  Cicero  and  Sallust,  and  regularly  in  Caesar.  With  a  personal 
or  a  reflexive  pronoun,  cum  regularly  follows,  as  mecum,  nSblscum, 
secum. 

1436.  In  poetry  and  late  prose,  prepositions  are  freely  put  after  their  cases. 

1437.  In  oaths  and  adjurations,  per  is  often  separated  from  its  proper  accusative 
by  the  accusative  of  the  object :  as,  per  te  deds  oro,  T.  Andr.  538, 1  beg  thee  by  the 
gods,  in  the  gods'  name. 

- * - 


USE  OF  ADVERBS. 

1438.  Adverbs  qualify  verbs,  adjectives,  or  adverbs. 

(a.)  With  verbs,  all  sorts  of  adverbs  are  used:  as,  of  Place:  quis  istic 
habet  ?  PI.  B.  114,  who  lives  in  there  ?  Time  :  turn  dentes  mihi  cadebant 
primulum,  PI.  Men.  1116,  my  teeth  were  just  beginning  then  to  go.  Number  : 
bis  consul  fuerat  P.  Africanus,  Afur.  58,  Africanus  had  twice  been  consjtl. 
Degree,  Amount:  Ubii  magnopere  Srabant,  4,  16,  5 ,  the  Ubians  earnestly 
entreated.  Dumnorix  plurimum  poterat,  1,9,3,  Dumnorix  was  all-powerful. 
Manner:  bene  quievit,  libenter  cibum  sumpsit,  Plin.  Ep.  3,  16,  4,  he  has 
slept  beautifully ,  he  has  relished  his  food,  (b.)  With  adjectives  and  adverbs, 
oftenest  adverbs  of  degree  or  amount  only,  or  their  equivalents,  such  as  bene, 
egregie,  &c. :  as,  valde  dlligens,  Ac.  2,  98,  very  particular,  egregie  fortis, 
DO.  2,  268,  exceptionally  brave.  Adverbs  of  manner,  however,  are  also  used, 
especially  in  poetry:  as,  turpiter  hirtum,  H.  E.  1,  3,  22,  disreputably  rough, 
i.  e.  disreputable  and  rough. 

232 


The  Noun :  A dverb.  [  1 439- 1445. 


I439*  An  adverb  is  sometimes  used  with  the  meaning  of  an  ad¬ 
jective  :  as, 

rgliquis  deinceps  diebus,  3,  29,  1,  the  remaining  successive  days,  de 
suis  privatim  rebus,  5,  3,  5,  in  relation  to  their  personal  interests,  undique 
silvae,  Plin.  Ep.  1,  6,  2,  the  surrounding  woods.  Particularly  when  the  sub¬ 
stantive  expresses  character,  like  an  adjective:  as,  vere  Metellus,  Sest.  130, 
a  trueblooded  Metellus.  rusticanus  vir,  sed  plane  vir,  TD.  2,  53,  a  country 
man,  but  every  inch  a  man. 

1440.  Perfect  participles  used  as  substantives  are  commonly  qualified  by  an  ad¬ 
verb,  and  not  by  an  adjective.  Particularly  so  dictum,  factum,  inventum, 
responsum,  with  bene  and  male,  and  their  synonymes :  as,  recte  ac  turpiter 
factum,  7,  80,  5,  heroism  and  cowardice,  bene  facta  male  locata  male 
facta  arbitror,  E.  in  Off.  2,  62,  good  deeds  ill  put ,  bad  deeds  I  count.  In  superla¬ 
tive  qualifications,  however,  the  adjective  is  preferred. 

1441.  Other  substantives  also  may  be  qualified  by  an  adverb,  when  a  verb  construc¬ 
tion  or  a  participle  is  implied:  as,  C.  Flaminius  cSnsul  iterum,  Div.  1,  77, 
Flaminius  in  his  second  consulship.  5  totiens  servos,  Id.  S.  2,  7,  70,  time  and, 
again  a  slave,  ictu  comminus,  Caecin.  43,  by  a  hand-to-hand  blow,  publice 
testem,  V.  2,  156,  a  government  witness,  populum  late  regem,  V.  1,  21,  a 
nation  regnant  wide,  late  tyrannus,  H.  3,  17,  9,  lord  paramount  far  and  near. 

1442.  An  adverb  sometimes  takes  the  place  of  a  substantive :  as,  cum  amici 
partim  deseruerint  me,  partim  etiam  prodiderint,  QFr.  1,  3,  5,  since  my 
friends  have  some  of  them  abandoned  me,  and  others  again  have  actually  betrayed 
me,  i.  e.  alii  .  .  .  alii,  postquam  satis  tuta  circa  videbantur,  L.  1,  58,  2, 
finding  every  thing  round  about  looked  pretty  safe,  i.  e.  quae  circa  erant.  pa- 
’lam  laudares,  secreta  male  audiebant,  Ta.  H.  1,  10,  his  outward  walk  you 
would  have  admired ;  his privatelife  was  in  bad  odour ,  i.  e.  quae  palam  fiebant. 


Negative  Adverbs. 

1443.  (1.)  The  negative  oftenest  used  in  declaration  or  inter¬ 
rogation  is  non,  not:  as, 

n5n  metu5  mihi,  PI.  B.  225, 1  fear  not  for  myself,  non  semper  imbres 
nubibus  hispidds  manant  in  agros,  H.  2,  9,  1,  not  always  from  the  clouds 
do  showers  on  stubbly  fields  come  drippi)ig  dropping  down,  non  dices  hodie  ? 
H.  S.  2,  7,  21,  will  you  not  say  without  delay  ? 

1444.  ndn  is  a  modification  of  noenum  or  noenu,  compounded  of  ne,  no, 
and  the  accusative  oinom  or  oenum,  the  older  form  of  unum,  one  thing,  noenum 
occurs  in  Plautus  twice,  in  Ennius,  Lucilius,  Afranius,  and  Varro,  once  each,  and 
noenu  occurs  twice  in  Lucretius  (140). 

1445.  Negation  is  often  expressed  by  other  compounds  of  ne.  In  such 
cases  the  Latin  idiom  frequently  differs  from  the  English,  and  a  transfer  of 
the  negative  is  required  in  translation. 

Such  compounds  are:  (a.)  Verbs,  such  as  neg5,  nequeo,  nescid,  nolo: 
as,  negat  verum  esse,  Mur.  74,  he  maintains  it  is  not  true,  (b.)  Nouns, 
such  as  nemo,  neuter,  nullus,  nihil :  as,  nemini  meus  adventus  labori 
fuit,  V.  1,  16,  my  visit  did  not  trouble  anybody,  (c.)  Adverbs,  such  as  num- 
quam,  nusquam.  (d.)  Similarly,  the  conjunction  neque  is  used  for  and 
not,  but  not,  unless  a  single  word  is  to  be  emphasized  or  contrasted:  as,  nec 
frustra,  8,  5,  3,  and  not  in  vain.

144^-1454*]  Sentences:  The  Simple  Sentence. 


1446.  A  form  nec  is  used  rarely  in  old  Latin  in  the  sense  of  non  :  as,  tu  dis 
nec  recte  dicis,  PI.  B.  119,  thou  dost  abuse  the  gods,  i.  e.  non  recte  or  male 
dlcis.  After  Plautus’s  time,  nec  for  non  occurs  in  a  few  set  combinations,  such  as 
nec  opinans,  not  expecting ,  and,  from  Livy  on,  necdum,  not  yet,  i.  e.  nondum. 

1447.  The  form  ne  usually  introduces  an  imperative  or  a  subjunctive,  as  will  be 
explained  further  on.  But  ne  is  also  used  in  the  combination  ne  .  .  .  quidem,  not 
even,  not  .  .  .  either,  with  the  emphatic  word  between  ne  and  quidem:  as,  ne  turn 
quidem,  1,  50,  2,  not  even  then,  ne  Vorenus  quidem  sese  valid  continet, 

5,  44,  6,  Vorenus  did  not  keep  inside  the  palisade  cither. 

1448.  The  adjective  nullus  is  sometimes  used,  chiefly  in  colloquial  language,  for 
non  or  ne  (1051):  as,  Philotimus  nullus  venit,  Att.  it,  24,  4,  no  Philotimus 
has  shown  himself .  nullus  creduas,  PI.  Tri.  606,  you  needn't  believe  it  at  all. 

1449.  (2.)  The  negative  haut  or  haud,  not ,  is  used  principally 
with  adjectives  and  adverbs,  less  frequently  with  verbs  :  as, 

(a.)  haud  mediocris  vir,  KP.  2,  55,  no  ordinary  man.  rem  haud  sane 
difficilem,  CM.  4,  a  thing  not particiilarly  hard,  haud  procul,  CM.  15.  not 
far.  In  all  periods  of  the  language  often  combined  with  quisquam,  ullus, 
umquam,  usquam.  (b.)  In  old  Latin  haud  is  freely  used  with  all  sorts  of 
verbs,  especially  with  possum.  In  Cicero,  it  occurs  here  and  there  with  a 
few  verbs,  such  as  adsentior,  erro,  igndrd,  nitor,  amo,  but  is  principally 
confined  to  scio,  in  the  combination  haud  scio  an,  1  don' t  know  but  (3026). 
Caesar  uses  haud  once  only,  and  then  in  this  combination. 

1450.  A  shorter  form,  hau,  occurs  often  in  old  Latin,  and  a  few  times  in  the 
classical  period:  as,  heic  est  sepulcrum  hau  pulcrum  pulcrai  feminae, 
CIL.  I,  1007,  2,  on  the  burial  site  of  a  woman,  here  is  the  site  not  sightly  of  a  sightly 
dame.  In  Plautus  it  is  juxtaposed  with  sci5,  making  hauscid,  i.  e.  nescid. 

1451.  (3.)  Negation  may  also  be  intimated  by  such  words  as  vix,  hardly ,  pa- 
rum,  not  .  .  .  enough,  not  quite,  minus,  less,  not,  minime,  least  of  all,  male,  &c. 

1452.  Two  negatives  in  the  same  sentence  are  usually  equivalent 
to  an  affirmative. 

Thus,  with  non  first,  an  indefinite  affirmative  :  as,  non  nemo,  somebody, 
a  certain  gentleman,  one  or  another,  non  nullus,  some,  non  nihil,  something, 
somewhat,  non  numquam,  sometimes.  With  non  second,  a  universal  affir¬ 
mative  :  as,  nemo  non,  everybody,  every  human  being,  nullus  non,  every. 
nihil  non,  every  thing,  numquam  non,  always.  n5n  possum  n5n  ednfiteri, 
Pam.  9,  14,  1,  / must  confess.  nem5  igndrat,  V.  2,  in,  everybody  knerws. 

1453.  Sometimes,  however,  in  old  Latin,  a  second  negation  is  used  merely  to 
emphasize  the  negative  idea:  as,  lapideo  sunt  corde  multi,  quos  non  miseret 
neminis,  E.  in  Fest.  p.  162,  there's  many  a  man  with  heart  of  stone,  that  feels  for 
nobody.  For  doubled  negatives  in  compound  sentences,  see  1660.

USE  OF  DEGREES  OF  COMPARISON. 

The  Positive. 

1454.  The  positive  sometimes  expresses  an  idea  of  disproportion  :  as, 

pr5  multitudine  hominum  angustos  se  finis  habere  arbitrabantur, 

1,2,  5,  in  virw  of  their  large  numbers  they  thought  they  had  a  cramped  place  to 
live  in.  Generally,  however,  disproportion  is  expressed  as  in  1460  or  1461. 

234 


The  Noun :  Comparison.  [1455-1461. 


The  Comparative. 

1 455.  When  two  things  only  are  compared,  the  comparative 
is  used :  as, 

uter  igitur  melior  ?  Div.  2,  133,  which  of  the  two  then  is  the  better  ?  uter 
est  insanior  horum  ?  H.  S.  2,  3,  102,  which  of  these  two  is  crazier?  uter 
eratis,  tun  an  ille,  maior  ?  PI.  Men.  1119,  you  were  —  which  of  the  two  the - 
bigger,  thou  or  he  ? 

1456.  The  superlative  is  sometimes  loosely  used  when  only  two  things  are  meant : 
as,  NumitSri,  qui  stirpis  maximus  erat,  regnum  legat,  L.  1,  3,  10,  to  Nu- 
mitor ,  who  was  the  eldest  of  the  family ,  he  bequeaths  the  crown ,  of  two  brothers,  Nu- 
mitor  and  Amulius.  id  me!  minume  refert,  qui  sum  natu  maxumus,  T. 
Ad.  881,  that  is  of  small  concern  to  me,  who  am  the  eldest  son ,  says  Demea,  who  has 
only  one  brother. 

1457.  From  Cicero  on,  an  adjective  or  adverb  is  sometimes  compared 
with  another  adjective  or  adverb.  In  such  comparisons  quam  is  always 
used. 

In  this  case:  (a.)  Both  members  may  have  the  positive  form,  the  first 
with  magis :  as,  Celer  disertus  magis  est  quam  sapiens,  Att.  10,  1,  4, 
Celer  is  more  eloquent  than  wise,  magis  audacter  quam  parate,  Br.  241, 
with  more  assurance  than  preparation.  Or  ( b. )  Both  members  may  have  the 
comparative  suffix:  as,  lubentius  quam  verius,  Mil.  78,  with  greater  satisfac¬ 
tion  than  truth,  pestilentia  minacior  quam  perniciSsior,  L.  4,  52,  3,  a 
plague  more  alarming  than  destructive. 

1458.  Tacitus  sometimes  puts  the  second  member  in  the  positive,  even  when  the 
first  has  the  comparative  suffix:  as,  acrius  quam  considerate,  H.  1,  83,  with 
more  spirit  than  deliberation.  And  sometimes  both  members  :  as,  Claris  maioribus 
quam  vetustis,  4,  61,  of  a  house  famous  rather  than  ancient. 

J459-  The  comparative  may  be  modified  by  ablatives  of  difference,  such 
as  multo,  far,  aliquanto,  considerably,  paullo  or  paulo,  a  little,  nimio,  too 
much,  ever  so  much  (1393).  Also  by  etiam,  even,  still,  and  in  late  Latin  by 
Ion ge,far,  adhuc,  still. 

1460.  The  comparative  of  an  adjective  or  adverb  often 
denotes  that  which  is  more  than  usual  or  more  than  is  right : 
as, 

solere  aiunt  reges  Persarum  plures  uxores  habere,  V.  3,  76,  they  say 
the  Persian  kings  generally  have  several  wives,  senectus  est  natura  loqua- 
cior,  CM.  55,  age  is  naturally  rather  garrulous,  stomachabatur  senex,  si 

quid  asperius  dixeram,  DN.  1,  93,  the  old  gentleman  always  got  provoked  if 
/  said  anything  a  bit  rough. 

1461.  The  comparative  of  disproportion  is  often  defined  by  some  added 
expression  :  as, 

privatis  maiora  focis,  J.  4,  66,  something  too  great  for  private  hearths 
( x37 1  )•  flagrantior  aequo  n5n  debet  dolor  esse  viri,  J.  13,  11,  the  indig¬ 
nation  of  a  man  must  not  be  oz>er  hot  ( 1330).  In  Livy  and  Tacitus  by  quam 
pr5  with  the  ablative  :  see  the  dictionary.  Sometimes  a  new  sentence  is 
added:  as,  sum  avidior,  quam  satis  est,  glSriae,  Fam.  9,  14,  2,  lam  over 
greedy  of  glory.  For  quam  ut  or  quam  qui,  see  1896. 

235 


1462-1468.]  Sentences:  The  Simple  Sentence. 


1462.  The  comparative  with  a  sentence  of  negative  import  is  often  pre¬ 
ferred  to  the  superlative  with  a  positive  sentence  :  as, 

elephants  beluarum  nulla  prudentior,  DN.  1,  97,  of  the  larger  beasts  tiot 
one  is  more  sagacious  than  the  elephant ,  or  the  elephant  is  the  most  sagacious  of 
beasts,  sequamur  Polybium,  quo  nemo  fuit  diligentior,  RP.  2,  27,  let  us 
follow  Polybius ,  the  most  scrupulous  of  men.  For  nemo  or  quis,  the  more 
emphatic  nihil  or  quid  is  often  used :  as,  PhaedrS  nihil  elegantius,  nihil 
humanius,  DN.  1, 93,  Phaednts  zvas  the  most  refined  and  sympathetic  of  men. 

1463.  In  colloquial  language,  a  comparative  suffix  is  sometimes  emphasized  by  the 
addition  of  magis  :  as,  mollior  magis,  PI.  Aul.  422,  more  tenderer.  And 
sometimes  by  a  mixture  of  construction,  the  comparative  is  modified  by  aeque,  like 
the  positive:  as,  homo  me  miserior  nullus  est  aeque,  PI.  Mer.  335,  there's 
?iot  a  man  so  woebegone  as  /,  for  miserior  alone,  or  aeque  miser. 

1464.  T  he  comparative  with  the  ablative  is  particularly  common,  when  a  thing  is 
illustrated  by  some  striking  typical  object,  usually  an  object  of  nature.  In  such  illustra¬ 
tions,  the  positive  with  as  is  commonly  used  in  English :  as,  luce  clarius,  V.  2,  186, 
plain  as  day.  6  f5ns  Bandusiae,  splendidior  vitrS,  H.  3,  13,  1,  ye  waters  of 
Bandusia ,  as  glittering  as  glass,  melle  dulcior  5rati5,  E.  in  CM.  3 1 ,  words  sweet 
as  honey,  ventls  ocior,  V.  5,  319,  quick  as  the  winds,  vacca  candidior  ni- 
vibus,  O.  Am.  3,  5,  10,  a  cow  as  white  as  driven  snozv.  caelum  pice  nigrius, 
O.  H.  17,  7,  a  sky  as  black  as  pitch,  durior  ferro  et  saxo,  O.  14,  712,  as  hard 
as  steel  and  stone.

The  Superlative. 

1465.  When  more  than  two  things  are  compared,  the  super¬ 
lative  is  used  to  represent  a  quality  as  belonging  in  the  highest 
degree  to  an  individual  or  to  a  number  of  a  class :  as, 

proximi  sunt  Germanis,  1,  1,  3,  they  live  the  nearest  to  the  Germans . 
horum  omnium  fortissimi,  1,  1,  3,  the  bravest  of  these  all. 

1466.  The  superlative  may  be  strengthened  bv  the  addition  of  such  words 
as  unus,  preeminently ,  usually  with  a  genitive,  maxime,  quam,  with  or 
without  a  form  of  possum,  as  possible ,  &c.,  &c.  (1892).  From  Cicero  on,  by 
longe,  yizr,  and  vel ,  perhaps,  even:  as, 

confirmaverim  rem  unam  esse  omnium  difficillimam,  Br.  25,  lam 

not  afraid  to  avouch  it  is  the  one  hardest  thing  in  the  world,  longe  nobilis- 
simus,  1,  2,  1,  the  man  of  highest  birth  by  far.  quam  maximis  potest 
itineribus  in  Galliam  contendit,  1,7,  1,  he  pushes  into  Gaul  by  the  quickest 
marches  he  can.  quam  maturrime,  1,  33,  4,  as  early  as  possible. 

1467.  The  superlative  is  also  used  to  denote  a  very  high 
degree  of  the  quality. 

This  superlative,  called  the  Absolute  Superlati~>e,  or  the  Superlative  of 
Eminence ,  may  be  translated  by  the  positive  with  some  such  word  as  most , 
very  :  as,  homo  turpissimus,  V.  4.  16,  an  utterly  unprincipled  man.  Often 
best  by  the  positive  alone:  as,  vir  fortissimus,  PIs5  Aquitanus,  4,  12,  4, 
the  heroic  Piso  of  Aquitain  (1044). 

1468.  In  exaggerated  stvle,  the  superlative  of  eminence  may  be  capped  by  a  com¬ 
parative :  as,  stultior  stultissumo,  PI.  Am.  907,  a  greater  than  the  greatest  fool. 
ego  miserior  sum  quam  tu,  quae  es  miserrima,  Pant.  14,  3,  r,  / am  myself 

more  unhappy  than  you ,  who  are  a  most  unhappy  woman.

The  Verb :  Voice . 


[1469-1475 


(B.)  USE  OF  THE  VERB. 


VOICE. 

The  Active  Voice. 

1469.  In  the  active  voice,  the  subject  is  represented 
as  performing  the  action  of  the  verb. 

1470.  By  action  is  meant  the  operation  of  any  verb,  whether  active  or 
passive,  and  whether  used  intransitively  or  transitively. 

1471.  The  active  of  one  verb  sometimes  serves  as  the  passive  of  another :  thus, 
pereo,  go  to  destruction ,  die ,  serves  as  the  passive  of  perdS,  destroy ,  and  veneS, 
go  to  sale ,  am  sold,  as  the  passive  of  vendd,  put  for  sale ,  sell.  Similarly  flo,  become , 
get  to  be,  am  made,  is  used  in  the  present  system  as  the  passive  of  facid,  make  (78S). 


The  Passive  Voice. 

1472.  In  the  passive  voice,  the  subject  is  represented 
as  acted  upon. 

1473.  The  object  accusative  of  the  active  voice  becomes  the 
subject  of  the  passive  voice  (1 125)  ;  and  the  predicate  accusa¬ 
tive  of  the  active  voice  becomes  a  predicate  nominative  with  the 
passive  voice  (1167). 

Thus  (a.)  in  the  active  construction:  ilium  laudabunt  bonl,  hunc  etiam 
ipsi  culpabunt  mall,  PI.  B.  397,  the  one  the  good  will  praise,  the  other  e'en 
the  bad  themselves  will  blame.  In  the  passive :  laudatur  ab  his,  culpatur 
ab  illis,  II.  S.  1,  2,  ir,  he's  praised  by  some,  by  others  blamed.  Active  :  elves 
Romanos  interficiunt,  7,  3,  1,  they  slay  so?ne  citizens  of  Rome.  Passive: 
Indutiomarus  interficitur,  5,  58,  6,  Indutiomarus  is  slain.  (b.)  Active: 
milites  certiSres  facit,  3,  5,  3,  he  informs  the  soldiers.  Passive:  certior 
factus  est,  2.  34,  he  was  informed. 

1474.  Verbs  which  have  two  accusatives,  one  of  the  person  and  one  of  the  thing 
in  the  active  voice,  generally  have  the  person  as  subject  in  the  passive,  less  frequently 
the  thing  :  see  1 171 . 

1475.  An  emphasizing  or  defining  accusative,  or  an  accusative  of  extent 
or  duration,  is  occasionally  made  the  subject  of  a  passive :  as, 

haec  illic  est  pugnata  pugna,  PI.  Am.  253,  this  fight  was  fought  off 
there  (1140).  tota  mihi  dormitur  hiems,  Mart.  13,  59,  1,  all  winter  long  by 
me  is  slept ,  i.  e.  totam  dormio  hiemem  (1151). 

237 


1476-1483*]  Sentences:  The  Simple  Sentence. 


1476.  The  person  by  whom  the  action  is  done  is  put  in  the  abla¬ 
tive  with  ab  or  a  (1318)  ;  the  thing  by  which  it  is  done  is  put  in  the 
instrumental  ablative  (1377)  ;  as, 

(a.)  non  numquam  latrd  a  viatore  occiditur,  Mil.  55,  once  in  a  while 
the  robber  gets  killed  by  the  wayfarer,  respondit,  a  cive  se  spoliari  malle 
quam  ab  hoste  venire,  Quintil.  i2,  i,  43,  he  said  in  reply  that  he  would 
rather  be  plinidered  by  a  Roman  than  sold  by  an  enemy  (1471).  (b.)  unius 

viri  prudentia  Graecia  liberata  est,  N.  2,  5,  3,  Greece  was  saved  frojn  sla¬ 
very  by  the  sagacity  of  a  single  man ,  i.  e.  Themistocles.  Very  often,  however, 
the  person  or  thing  is  not  expressed,  particularly  with  impersonals. 

1477.  When  the  person  is  represented  as  a  mere  instrument,  the  ablative 
is  used  without  ab  (1378)  ;  and  when  collectives,  animals,  or  things  without 
life  are  personified,  the  ablative  takes  ab  (1318) :  as, 

(<z.)  neque  verb  minus  Plato  delectatus  est  Dione,  N.  10,  2,  3,  and 

Plato  on  his  part  was  jtist  as  much  bewitched  with  Dion.  ( b .)  eius  oratio  a 
multitudine  et  a  foro  devorabatur,  Br.  283,  his  oratory  was  swallowed  whole 
by  the  imtutored  many  and  by  the  bar. 

1473.  Sometimes  the  person  by  whom  the  action  is  done  is  indicated  by  the  dative 
of  the  possessor:  see  1216.  And  regularly  with  the  gerund  and  gerundive  construc¬ 
tion  (2243). 

1479.  Only  verbs  of  transitive  use  have  ordinarily  a  complete  pas¬ 
sive.  Verbs  of  intransitive  use  have  only  the  impersonal  forms  of  the 
passive  (1034)  :  as, 

diu  atque  acriter  pugnatum  est,  1,  26,  1,  there  7 vas  long  and  sharp 
fighting,  tbtls  trepidatur  castrls,  6,  37,  6,  all  through  the  camp  there  was 
tumuli  and  affright,  mih!  quidem  persuader!  numquam  potuit,  animos 
emorl,  CM.  80,  for  my  part ,  /  never  could  be  convinced  that  the  soul  becomes 
extinct  at  death  ( 1 181 ).  Similarly  verbs  which  have  a  transitive  use  may  also 
be  used  impersonally :  as,  dies  noctisque  estur,  bibitur,  PI.  Most.  235,  there 
is  eating  and  drinking  all  day  and  all  night  (1133). 

1480.  The  complementary  dative  of  a  verb  in  the  active  voice  is  in  poetry  very 
rarely  made  the  subject  of  a  passive  verb :  as,  invideor,  H.  AP.  56,  I  am  envied. 
imperor,  H.  E.  1,  5,  21,  I  charge  myself. 

1481.  The  passive  had  originally  a  reflexive  meaning,  which  is  still  to 
be  seen  in  the  passive  of  many  verbs  :  as, 

exercebatur  plurimum  currendo  et  luctando,  N.  15,  2,  4,  he  took  a  great 
deal  of  exercise  in  running  and  wrestling,  densos  fertur  in  bostls,  V.  2,  51 1, 
he  tries  to  charge  upon  the  serried  foes,  quod  semper  movetur,  aeternum 
est,  TD.  1,  53,  anything  that  is  always  moving ,  is  eternal. 

1482.  The  present  participle  of  reflexives  is  sometimes  used  in  a  reflexive  sense:  I 
as,  exercens,  exercising  oneself,  exercising,  ferens,  tearing  along ,  vehens, 
riding,  and  invehens,  mounted  on,  pascens,  browsing,  versans,  playing,  being , 
volvens,  rolling.  Also  the  gerund  :  as,  ius  vehendl,  the  privilege  of  riding. 

1483.  Passive  forms  of  coepi  and  desino  are  commonly  used  in  the 
perfect  system,  when  a  dependent  infinitive  is  passive  :  as,

[1484-1492. 


litteris  oratio  est  coepta  mandari,  Br.  26,  oratory  began  to  be  put  in 
black  and  white,  veteres  orationes  leg!  sunt  desitae,  Br.  123,  the  old 
speeches  ceased  to  be  read.  But  the  active  forms  are  sometimes  used  by  Cor- 
nificius,  Sallust,  and  Livy,  and  regularly  by  Tacitus.  The  active  forms  are 
used  with  fieri  also,  which  is  not  passive  (788)  ;  but  even  with  fieri,  Livy 
uses  the  passive  forms. 

1484.  Similar  attractions  with  a  passive  infinitive  occur  in  potestur,  & c.,  qui- 
tur  and  quitus  sum,  nequitur,  &c.,  rarely,  and  mostly  in  old  Latin  :  as,  forma 
in  tenebris  nosci  non  quitast,  T.  Hcc.  572,  her  shape  could  hardly  be  distin- 

j  guished  in  the  dark. 

1485.  Some  perfect  participles  have  an  active  meaning:  as,  adultus,  grown  up. 
See  907,  and  also  in  the  dictionary  cautus,  consultus,  concretus,  deflagratus, 
inconsideratus,  occasus,  nupta. 


Deponents. 

1486.  Many  verbs  have  only  passive  inflections,  but 
with  the  meaning  of  active  inflections.  Such  verbs  are 
called  Deponents. 

1487.  In  many  deponents,  a  reflexive,  passive,  or  reciprocal  action  is  still 
clearly  to  be  seen  :  as, 

nascor,  am  born;  moror,  delay  myself ,  get  delayed ;  utor,  avail  myself; 

amplectimur,  hug  each  other ;  fabulamur,  talk  together ;  partimur,  share 
with  one  another. 

1488.  Some  verbs  have  both  active  and  deponent  inflections:  as,  adsen- 
tio,  agree ,  more  commonly  adsentior.  mereS,  earn ,  and  mereor,  deserve. 
See  also  in  the  dictionary  altercor,  auguror,  comitor,  conflictor,  fabricor, 
faeneror,  muneror,  oscitor,  palpor,  populor,  revertor.  The  following  have 
active  inflections  in  the  present  system  and  deponent  inflections  in  the  perfect 
system  :  auded,  confido  and  diffido,  gaudeo,  soleo :  see  also  801. 

1489.  In  old  Latin  especially,  many  verbs  which  afterwards  became  fixed  as 
deponents  occur  with  active  inflections  also  :  as,  adulS,  arbitro,  aucupo,  auspied, 
lucto,  ludificS,  moro,  partio,  venero,  &c.,  &c. 

1490.  Verbs  which  are  usually  deponent  are  rarely  found  with  a  passive  meaning  : 
as,  Sullanas  res  defendere  criminor,  LAgr.  3,  13,  /  am  charged  with  de¬ 
fending  Sulla's  policy. 

I4gi.  When  it  is  desirable  to  express  the  passive  of  a  deponent,  a  synonyme  is 
sometimes  used:  thus,  the  passive  of  mlror,  admire,  may  sometimes  be  represented 
by  laudor,  am  praised.  Or  some  circumlocution:  as,  habet  venerationem 
quidquid  excellit,  DN.  1,  4',  anything  best  in  its  kind  is  looked  on  with  respect , 
as  passive  of  veneror.  familia  in  suspicionem  est  vocata,  V.  5,  10,  the 
household  was  suspected ,  as  passive  of  suspicor. 

1492.  The  perfect  participle  of  deponents  is  sometimes  used  with  a  pas¬ 
sive  meaning.  Some  of  the  commonest  of  these  participles  are  :  adeptus, 
commentus,  complexus,  cSnfessus,  ementitus,  expertus,  meditatus, 
opinatus,  pactus,  partitus,  testatus,  &c.,  &c.

THE  INDICATIVE  MOOD. 

Declarations. 

1493.  The  indicative  mood  is  used  in  simple,  abso¬ 
lute  declarations  :  as, 

arma  virumque  can5,  V.  1,  1,  arms  and  the  man  I  sing,  leve  fit  quod 
bene  fertur  onus,  O.  A.  4,  2,  10,  light  gets  the  load  that's  bravely  borne. 

1494.  The  negative  used  with  the  indicative  is  commonly  n5n,  not  (1443). 
For  other  negative  expressions,  see  1445-1451. 

1495-  Certain  verbs  and  verbal  expressions  denoting  ability,  duty, 
propriety,  necessity,  and  the  like,  mostly  with  an  infinitive,  are  regu¬ 
larly  put  in  the  indicative,  even  when  the  action  of  the  infinitive  is  not 
performed. 

This  applies  to  declarations,  questions,  or  exclamations  :  as,  (a.)  possum 
de  ichneumonum  utilitate  dicere,  sed  ndlo  esse  longus,  DN.  1,  101,  / 
might  expatiate  on  the  usefulness  of  the  ichneumon ,  but  I  do  not  care  to  be  long- 
winded.  inter  feras  satius  est  aetatem  degere  quam  in  hac  tanta  im- 
manitate  versari,  RA.  150,  it  would  be  better  to  pass  your  days  in  the  midst 
of  howling  beasts  than  to  live  and  move  among  such  brutish  men.  (b.)  stultl 
erat  sperare,  Ph.  2.  23,  it  would  have  been  folly  to  hope,  quid  enim  facere 
poteramus  ?  Pis.  13, for  what  else  could  we  have  done?  (c.)  licuit  uxorem 
genere  summS  ducere,  PI.  MG.  6S0,  /  might  have  married  a  wife  of  high 
degree,  non  potuit  pictor  rectius  describere  eius  formam,  PI.  As.  402, 
no  painter  could  have  hit  his  likeness  more  exactly,  (d.)  quanto  melius  fue- 
rat  promissum  patris  n5n  esse  servatum,  Off.  3,  94,  hcno  much  better  it 
would  have  been,  for  the  father's  word  not  to  have  been  kept. 

1496.  The  principal  verbs  and  verbal  expressions  thus  used  are:  (a.)  possum, 

licet,  debeo,  oportet,  convenit,  d«ecet.  (b.)  aequum,  aequius,  iustum, 
fas,  necesse  est ;  consentaneum,  satis,  satius,  optabile,  optabilius  est ; 
utilius,  melius,  optimum,  par,  rectum  est;  facile,  difficile,  grave,  infi¬ 
nitum,  longum,  magnum  est ;  est  with  the  predicative  genitive,  or  a  possessive 
pronoun  (1237).  (c.)  Similarly,  but  without  an  infinitive,  sum  with  a  gerund,  a 

gerundive,  or  a  future  participle. 

1497.  The  imperfect  of  most  of  the  above  verbs  and  verbal  expressions 
often  relates  to  action  not  performed  at  the  present  time:  as, 

his  alias  poteram  subnectere  causas ;  sed  eundum  est,  J.  3,  315,  to 

these  I  might  add  other  grounds  ;  hit  I  must  go.  The  context  must  determine 
whether  the  imperfect  relates  (a.)  to  action  not  performed  either  in  the  present 
as  here,  or  in  the  past  as  in  1495,  or  (^-)  to  action  performed  in  the  past:  as, 
sollicitare  poterat,  audebat,  C.  3,  16,  he  had  at  once  the  assurance  and  the 
ability  to  play  the  tempter's  part.

The  Verb :  Mood. 


[1498-1504. 


1498.  Forms  of  possum  are  sometimes  put  in  the  subjunctive  ( 1554).  Thus, 
possim,  &c.,  often  (1556),  also  possem,  &c.,  usually  of  present  time  (1560),  less 
frequently  of  past  time  (1559),  potuissem,  &c.,  particularly  in  sentences  of  negative 
import  (1561),  rarely  potuerim,  &c.  (1558).  Sometimes  also  deberem,  &c.,  of 
present  time  (1560),  debuissem,  &c.,  chiefly  in  apodosis. 

Questions. 

1499.  The  indicative  is  the  mood  ordinarily  used  in 
enquiries  and  in  exclamations  :  as, 

(«.)  huic  ego  ‘studes  ?’  inquam.  respondit  ‘  etiam.’  ‘ub!?’  (Me- 
diolani.’  ‘  cur  non  hie  ?  ’  ‘  quia  nullos  hie  praeceptores  habemus/  Plin. 
Ep.  4,  13,  3,  said  I  to  the  boy ,  ‘do  you  go  to  school?''  ‘yes,  sir,’  said  he  ; 
‘where?’  * at  Mediolanum  ‘ why  not  here?’  ‘oh  becazise  we  haven’t  any 
teachers  here.’  (b.)  ut  ego  tuum  amorem  et  dolorem  desidero,  Alt.  3,  11, 
12,  how  I  always  feel  the  absence  of  your  affectiozuite  syzzipathy. 

1500.  Questions  and  exclamations  are  used  much  more  freely  in  Latin 
than  in  English.  Particularly  common  are  two  questions,  of  which  the  first 
is  short  and  general,  leading  up  to  the  real  question  :  as, 

sed  quid  ais  ?  ubi  nunc  adulescens  habet  ?  PI.  7/7.  156,  but  tell  me, 
where  is  the  youngster  living  now  ?  estne  ?  vici  ?  et  tibl  saepe  litteras  do  ? 
Cael.  in  Fam.  8,  3,  I,  is  it  true?  have  I  beaten  ?  and  do  I  write  to  you  often  ? 
The  real  question  is  often  preceded  by  quid  est,  quid  dicis,  or  by  quid, 
quid  vero,  quid  turn,  quid  postea,  quid  igitur,  quid  ergo,  &c.,  &c.  :  as, 
quid  ?  canis  nonne  similis  lupo  ?  DN.  1,  97,  why,  is  not  the  dog  like  the  wolf? 

1501.  There  are  two  kinds  of  questions:  (1.)  Such  questions  as  call  for 
the  answer  yes  or  710  in  English  :  as,  is  he  gone?  These  may  conveniently  be 
called  Yes  or  No  Questions.  (2.)  Questions  introduced  by  an  interrogative 
pronoun,  or  by  a  word  derived  from  an  interrogative  pronoun :  as,  who  is 
gone  ?  where  is  he?  These  are  called  Pronoun  Questions. 


Yes  or  No  Questions. 

1502.  (1.)  Yes  or  No  questions  are  sometimes  put  without  any  interrog¬ 
ative  particle:  as, 

Thraex  est  Gallina  Syro  par?  H.  S.  2,  5,  44,  of  two  gladiators,  is 
Thracian  Bantam  for  the  Syrian  a  match  ?  Often  intimating  censure :  as, 
rogas  ?  PI.  Aul.  634,  dost  ask?  or  what  an  absurd  question,  prompsisti 
tu  ill!  vinum  ?  ::  non  prompsx,  PI.  MG.  830,  thou  hast  been  broaching 
wine  for  him  ?  : :  not  I.  Especially  with  non  :  as,  patere  tua  consilia  non 
sentis  ?  C.  1,  I,  you  don’t  see  that  your  schemes  are  out  ?  It  is  often  doubtful 
whether  such  sentences  are  questions,  exclamations,  or  declarations. 

1503.  (2.)  Yes  or  No  questions  are  usually  introduced  by  one 
of  the  interrogative  particles  -ne  or  -n,  nonne,  num,  an,  anne. 

1504.  A  question  with  -ne  or  -n  may  enquire  simply,  without  any  impli¬ 
cation  as  to  the  character  of  the  answer,  or  it  may  either  expect  an  affirmative 
answer  like  nonne,  or  less  frequently  a  negative  answer  like  num  :  as,

ever  see  any  universe  except  this  one  ?  you  will  say  no. 

1505.  Sometimes  the  -ne  of  an  interrogative  sentence  is  transferred  to  a  following 
relative,  chiefly  in  Plautus  and  Terence:  as,  rogas ?  qulne  arrabonem  a  me 
accepistl  ob  mulierem?  PL  R.  860,  how  can  you  ask,  when  you  have  got  the

estis  sen  studiorum,  qui  putetis  difficile  ?  Compare  1569. 

1506.  To  a  question  with  nonne,  a  positive  answer  is  usually  expected, 
seldom  a  negative :  as, 

(a.)  nonne  meministi  ?  : :  meminl  verb,  TD.  2,  10,  don't  you  remember? 
: :  oh  yes.  Sometimes  a  second  or  third  question  also  has  nbnne,  but  oftener 
non :  as,  nbnne  ad  te  L.  Lentulus,  non  Q.  Sanga,  non  L.  Torquatus 
venit  ?  Pis.  77,  did  not  Lentulus  and  Sanga  and  Torquatus  come  to  see  you? 
(b.)  nbnne  cogitas  ?  RA.  8o,  do  you  bear  in  mind?  nbnne  is  rare  in  Plautus, 
comparatively  so  in  Terence,  but  very  common  in  classical  Latin. 

1507.  To  a  question  with  num  a  negative  answrer  is  generally  expected. 
Less  frequently  either  a  positive  or  a  negative  answer  indifferently :  as, 

(a.)  num  negare  audes?  C.  1,  8,  do  you  tindertake  to  deny  it?  num, 
tibi  cum  fauces  urit  sitis,  aurea  quaeris  pocula  ?  H.  S.  1,  2,  114,  when

further  wish  ? 

1508.  A  question  with  an,  less  often  anne,  or  if  negative,  with  an 
non,  usually  challenges  or  comments  emphatically  on  something  previously 
expressed  or  implied :  as, 

an  habent  quas  gallinae  mantis  ?  PL  Ps.  29,  what,  what,  do  hens  have 
hands?  an  is  also  particularly  common  in  argumentative  language,  in  an¬ 
ticipating,  criticising,  or  refuting  an  opponent:  as,  quid  dicis  ?  an  bello 
Siciliam  virtute  tua  liberatam  ?  V.  1,  5,  what  do  you  say?  possibly  that  it

Ph.  2,  38,  but  it  may  be  urged  that  my  way  of  speaking  estranged  Pompey  from 
me.  why ,  was  there  anybody  the  man  loved  more?  In  old  Latin,  an  is  oftener 
used  in  a  single  than  in  an  alternative  question,  while  in  classical  Latin  it  is 
rather  the  reverse. 

1509.  (3.)  Yes  or  No  questions  are  sometimes  introduced  by  ecquis, 
ecquo,  ecquando,  or  en  umquam :  as, 

heus,  ecquis  hie  est  ?  PL  Am.  420,  hollo ,  is  e'er  a  person  here?  ecquid 
animadvertis  horum  silentium  ?  C.  1,  20,  do  you  possibly  observe  the  silence

[1510-1518. 


1510.  (4.)  In  Plautus,  satin  or  satin  Ut,  really ,  actually ,  sometimes  becomes  a 
mere  interrogative  or  exclamatory  particle  :  as,  satin  abut  ille  ?  PL  MG.  \^>\,has 
that  man  really  gone  his  -way  ? 

Positive  and  Negative  Answers. 

1511.  There  are  no  two  current  Latin  words  corresponding  exactly  with 
yes  and  no  in  answers. 

i512*  OO  A  positive  answer  is  expressed  by  some  emphatic 
word  of  the  question,  repeated  with  such  change  as  the  context  may 
require :  as, 

an  non  dixi  esse  hoc  futurum  ?  : :  dixti,  T.  Andr.  621,  didn't  I  say  that 
this  would  be  ?  : :  you  did.  hue  abiit  Clitipho  : :  solus  ?  : :  solus,  T.  Iiau. 
904,  here  Clitipho  repaired  : :  alone  ?  : :  alone.  The  repeated  word  may  be 
emphasized  by  sane,  vero  :  as,  dasne  manere  animos  post  mortem  ?  : :  do 
vero,  TD.  1,  25,  do  you  grant  that  the  soul  lives  on  after  death  ?  : :  oh  yes.  Of¬ 
ten,  however,  adverbs  are  used,  without  the  repetition,  such  as  certe,  certo, 
etiam,  factum,  ita,  ita  enimvero,  ita  verb,  sane,  sane  quidem,  scilicet, 
oh  of  course,  vero,  rarely  verum. 

15*3-  (2-  )  A  negative  answer  is  expressed  by  a  similar  repetition, 
with  non  or  some  other  negative  added  :  as, 

estne  frater  intus  ?  : :  non  est,  T.  Ad.  569,  is  brother  in  ?  : :  he's  not.  Or, 
without  repetition,  by  such  words  as  non,  non  ita,  non  quidem,  non  hercle 
verb,  minime,  minime  quidem,  minime  verb,  nihil  minus. 

1514.  immo  introduces  a  sentence  rectifying  a  mistake,  implied  doubt,  or  under¬ 
statement  in  a  question  :  as,  nullane  habes  vitia?  : :  immo  alia,  et  fortasse 
minora,  H.  S.  1,  3,  20,  have  you  no  faults  ?  ::  I  beg  your  pardon ,  other  faults , 
and  per  adventure  lesser  ones,  causa  igitur  non  bona  est?  immo  optima, 

Att.  g,  7,  4,  isn't  the  cause  a  good  one  then  ?  good  ?  yes,  more  than  good ,  very  good. 

Alternative  Questions. 

'V 

1515.  The  alternative  question  belongs  properly  under  the  head  of  the 
compound  sentence.  But  as  the  interrogative  particles  employed  in  the  single 
question  are  also  used  in  the  alternative  question,  the  alternative  question  is 
most  conveniently  considered  here. 

1516.  In  old  English,  the  first  of  two  alternative  questions  is  often  introduced  by 
the  interrogative  particle  whether ,  and  the  second  by  or:  as,  whether  is  it  easier  to 
say ,  Thy  sins  be  forgiven  thee ,  or  to  say  Arise?  In  modem  English,  whether  is  not 
used  thus. 

1517.  The  history  of  the  Latin  alternative  question  is  just  the  reverse  of 
the  English.  In  old  Latin,  the  first  question  is  very  often  put  without  any 
interrogative  particle.  Later,  in  the  classical  period,  the  use  of  -ne,  or 
oftener  of  utrum,  etymologically  the  same  as  whether ,  is  overwhelmingly 
predominant. 

1518.  In  the  simplest  form  of  the  alternative  sentence,  neither  question 
is  introduced  by  an  interrogative  particle  :  as, 

quid  ago  ?  adeo,  maneo  ?  T.  Ph.  736,  what  shall  I  do  ?  go  up  and  speak, 
or  wait  ?  (1531).

1 5  1 9~~1 5  2 6.]  Sentences :  The  Simple  Sentence. 


1519.  Of  two  alternative  questions,  the  first  either  has  no 
interrogative  particle  at  all,  or  is  more  commonly  introduced  by 
utrum,  -ne,  or  -n.  The  second  is  introduced  by  an,  rarely  by 
anne,  or  if  it  is  negative,  by  an  non :  as, 

(a.)  album  an  atrum  vinum  potas  ?  PI.  Men.  915,  do you  lake  light  wine  or 
dark  ?  Tacitus  es  an  Plinius  ?  Plin.  Ep.  9,  23,  3,  are  you  Tacitus  or  Pliny  ? 
sortietur  an  non?  PC.  37,  will  he  draw  lots  or  not  l  (b.)  iam  id  porrS 
utrum  libentes  an  inviti  dabant  ?  V.  3,  118,  then  furthermore  did  they  offer 
it  voluntarily  or  did  they  consent  to  give  it  under  stress  ?  utrum  cetera  no- 
mina  in  codicem  accept!  et  expensi  digesta  habes  an  ndn  ?  PC.  9,  have 
you  all  other  items  methodically  posted  in  your  ledger  or  not  ?  (c.)  servosne 

es  an  liber?  PI.  Am.  343,  art  bond  or  free  ?  esne  tu  an  non  es  ab  ills 
militi  MacedoniS  ?  PI.  Ps.  616,  art  thou  or  art  thou  not  the  Macedonian  cap¬ 
tain's  man  ?  videdn  Cliniam  an  non  ?  T.  Han.  405,  do  I  see  Clinia  or  not  ? 

1520.  necne  for  an  non  is  rare  :  as,  semina  praeterea  linquontur  necne 
animal  corpore  in  exanimo?  Lucr.  3,  713,  are  seeds  moreover  left  or  not  cf 
soid  within  the  lifeless  frame ?  Twice  in  Cicero:  as,  sunt  haec  tua  verba 
necne  ?  TD.  3, 41,  are  these  your  words  or  not  ?  But  necne  is  common  in  indirect 
questions. 

1521.  Instead  of  a  single  second  question  with  an,  several  questions  may  be  used 
if  the  thought  requires  it,  each  introduced  by  an. 

1522.  Sometimes  an  introductory  utrum  precedes  two  alternative  questions  with 
-ne  and  an  :  as,  utrum  tu  masne  an  femina’s  ?  PI.  P.  104,  which  is  it,  art 
thou  man  or  maid  ?  This  construction  has  its  origin  in  questions  in  which  utrum 
is  used  as  a  live  pronoun :  as,  utrum  mavis?  statimne  n5s  vela  facere  an 
paululum  remigare  ?  TD.  4,  9,  which  would  you  rather  do,  have  us  make  sail  at 
once,  or  row  just  a  little  bit  l  in  Horace  and  late  prose,  utrumne  ...  an  is  found 
a  few  times. 

1523.  Sometimes  a  second  alternative  question  is  not  put  at  all :  as,  utrum  hoc 
bellum  non  est  ?  Ph.  8,  7,  in  old  English,  whether  is  not  this  war  ? 

1524.  Two  or  more  separate  questions  asked  with  -ne  .  .  .  -ne,  or  with  num 

.  .  .  num,  must  not  be  mistaken  for  alternative  questions:  as,  num  Homerum, 
num  Hesiodum  coegit  obmtitescere  senectus?  CM.  23,  did  length  of  days 
compel  either  Homer  or  Hesiod  to  hush  his  voice  ?  (1692). 

1525.  An  alternative  question  is  answered  by  repeating  one  member  or 
some  part  of  it,  with  such  changes  as  the  context  may  require. 

Pronoun  Questions. 

1526.  Pronoun  questions  or  exclamations  are  introduced 
by  interrogative  pronouns,  or  words  of  pronoun  origin. 

Such  words  are  :  (a.)  quis  qul,  quoius,  uter,  qualis,  quantus,  quotus  : 
as,  quid  rides?  H.  S.  2,  5,  3,  why  dost  thou  laugh?  (1144).  uter  est  in- 
sanior  hSrum  ?  H.  S.  2,  3,  102,  which  of  these  is  the  greater  crank?  hora 
quota  est?  H.  S.  2,  6,  44,  what's  o'clock?  (b.)  Or  unde,  ubl,  quo,  quor 
or  cur,  qui  ablative,  how ,  quin,  why  not,  quam,  hcnu,  quando,  quotiens :  as, 
unde  venis  et  quo  tendis  ?  II.  S.  1,  9,  62,  whence  dost  thou  come,  and  whither 
art  thou  bound?  deus  falli  qui  potuit  ?  DAT.  3,  76,  how  could  a  god  have 
been  taken  in?  (1495).  quam  bellum  erat  confiteri  nescire,  DAr.  1,  84, 
how  pretty  it  would  have  been  to  own  up  that  you  did  not  know  (1495).

The  Verb  :  Mood . 


[1527-1532. 


1527.  Sometimes  quin  loses  its  interrogative  force,  and  introduces  an 
impatient  imperative,  particularly  in  Plautus  and  Terence,  or  an  indicative 
of  sudden  declaration  of  something  obvious  or  startling  :  as, 

(<?.)  quin  me  aspice,  PI.  Most.  172,  why  look  me  over ,  won’t  you  ?  i.  e. 
me  aspice,  quin  aspicis  ?  (b.)  quin  discupid  dicere,  PI.  Tri.  932,  why  1 

am  bursting  with  desire  to  tell. 

1528.  In  Plautus,  Terence,  Horace,  and  Livy,  ut,  how ,  also  is  used  in  questions: 
as,  ut  vales  ?  PI./?.  1304,  how  do  you  dot  ut  sese  in  Samnio  res  habent  ? 
L.  10,  18,  11,  how  is  every  thing  in  Samnium  ?  Very  commonly,  and  in  Cicero  only  so, 
in  exclamations  also :  as,  ut  fSrtunati  sunt  fabri  ferrarii,  qui  apud  Carbo¬ 
nes  adsident ;  semper  calent,  PI.  /?.  531,  what  lucky  dogs  the  blacksmiths  be, 
that  sit  by  redhot  coals  ;  they  're  always  warm. 

1529.  In  poetry,  quis,  Uter,  and  quantus  are  found  a  few  times  with  -ne  at¬ 
tached  ;  as,  uterne  ad  casus  dubios  fidet  sibi  certius  ?  H.  S.  2,  2,107, 
~which  of  the  two  in  doubtful  straits  will  better  in  himself  confide! 

153°.  Two  or  more  questions  or  exclamations  are  sometimes  united  with 
one  and  the  same  verb :  as, 

unde  quo  veni  ?  H.  3,  27,  37,  \ whence  whither  am  I  come  ?  quot  dies 
quam  frigidis  rebus  absumpsi,  Plin.  Ep.  1,  9,  3,  how  many  days  have  1

praeclarae  fuerunt,  Mil.  38,  what  great  chances  there  were ,  time  and  again, 
splendid  ones  too. 

Some  Applications  of  Questions. 

1531-  A  question  in  the  indicative  present  or  future  may  be  used 
to  intimate  command  or  exhortation,  deliberation,  or  appeal :  as, 

(a.)  abin  hinc  ?  T.  Eu.  861,  will  you.  get  out  of  this  ?  abin  an  n5n  ?  : :

1532.  Some  set  forms  occur  repeatedly,  especially  in  questions  of  curios¬ 
ity,  surprise,  incredulity,  wrath,  or  captiousness:  as, 

sed  quid  ais  ?  T.  Andr.  575.  but  apropos,  or  but  by  the  way  (1500).  quid

THE  INFINITIVE  OF  INTIMATION. 

1534.  The  infinitive  is  principally  used  in  subordination,  and  will  be 
spoken  of  under  that  head.  One  use,  however,  of  the  present  infinitive 
in  main  sentences,  as  a  kind  of  substitute  for  a  past  indicative,  requires 
mention  here. 

1535.  In  animated  narration,  the  present  infinitive 
with  a  subject  in  the  nominative  sometimes  takes  the 
place  of  the  imperfect  or  perfect  indicative  :  as, 

interim  cotidie  Caesar  Aeduos  frumentum  flagitare,  1,  16,  1,  there 
was  Caesar  meantime  every  day  dunning  and  dunning  the  Aeduans  for  the 
grain.  Diodorus  sordidatus  circum  hospites  cursare,  rem  omnibus 
narrare,  V.  4,  41,  Diodorus  kept  running  round  in  sackcloth  and  ashes  from 
friend  to  friend ,  telling  his  tale  to  everybody,  interea  Catilina  in  prima  acle 
versari,  laborantibus  succurrere,  S.  C.  60,  4,  Catiline  meantime  bustling 
round  in  the  forefront  of  battle,  helping  them  that  were  sore  bestead,  turn  verb 
ingenti  sono  caelum  strepere,  et  micare  Ignes,  metu  omnes  torpere, 
L.  21,  58,  5,  at  this  crisis  the  welkin  ringing  with  a  dreadful  roar,  fires  flash¬ 
ing,  everybody  paralyzed  zuith  fear.  This  infinitive  occurs  in  almost  all  writers, 
for  instance,  Plautus,  Terence,  Cicero,  Horace,  and  particularly  Sallust,  Livy, 
and  Tacitus.  Less  commonly  in  Caesar.  Usually  two  or  more  infinitives  are 
combined,  and  infinitives  are  freely  mixed  with  indicatives.  The  subject  is 
never  in  the  second  person. 

1536.  This  infinitive  is  used  to  sketch  or  outline  persistent,  striking,  or  porten¬ 
tous  action,  where  description  fails ;  and  as  it  merely  intimates  the  action,  without 
distinct  declaration,  and  without  notation  of  time,  number,  or  person,  it  is  called  the 
Infinitive  of  Intimation.  It  cannot  be  adequately  represented  in  English. 

1537.  The  infinitive  of  intimation  is  sometimes  used  without  a  subject, 
when  emphasis  centres  in  the  action  alone  ;  as, 

ub!  turrim  procul  constitui  viderunt,  inrldere  ex  murd,  2,  30,  3,  when 

they  saw  the  tower  planted  some  way  off,  jeer  after  jeer  from  the  wall,  turn 
spectaculum  horribile  in  campis  patentibus:  sequi  fugere,  occidi  capi, 
S.  I.  101,  II,  then  a  heartrending  spectacle  in  the  open  fields :  chasing  and  rac¬ 
ing,  killing  and  catching. 

1538.  This  infinitive  has  rarely  an  interrogative  implication  :  as,  rex  te  erg5  in

['539-1542. 


1539-  It  may  be  mentioned  here,  that  the  infinitive  of  intimation  is  some¬ 
times  used  from  Sallust  on  with  cum,  when.  Also  by  Tacitus  in  a  temporal 
protasis  with  ubl,  ut,  or  postquam,  coordinated  with  a  present  or  imperfect 
indicative  protasis :  as, 

(a.)  cingebatur  interim  milite  domus,  cum  Libo  vocare  percussS- 
rem,  Ta.  2,  31,  the  house  meantime  was  C7ico7)ipassed  with  soldiers,  whe7i  Libo 
called  for  somebody  to  kill  him  (1869).  ( b .)  ub!  crudescere  seditio  et  a  con- 

viciis  ad  tela  transibant,  inici  catenas  Flaviano  iubet,  Ta.  H.  3,  10,  when

THE  SUBJUNCTIVE  MOOD. 

Declarations. 


I.  THE  SUBJUNCTIVE  OF  DESIRE. 

(A.)  Wish. 

1540.  The  subjunctive  may  be  used  to  express  a 
wish. 

Wishes  are  often  introduced  by  utinam,  in  old  and  poetical  Latin  also  by 
uti,  ut,  and  curses  in  old  Latin  by  qui ;  these  words  were  originally  inter¬ 
rogative,  ho70.  Sometimes  the  wish  is  limited  by  modo,  07ily.  In  negative 
wishes  ne  is  used,  either  alone,  or  preceded  by  utinam  or  modo ;  rarely 
non,  or  the  old-fashioned  nec,  7iot  (1446). 

1541.  (1.)  The  present  and  perfect  represent  a  wish  as  prac¬ 
ticable  ;  although  a  hopeless  wish  may,  of  course,  if  the  speaker 
chooses,  be  represented  as  practicable  :  as, 

(a.)  te  spectem,  suprema  mih!  cum  venerit  hora,  Tib.  1,  t,  59,  on 
thee  I'd  gaze,  whe7i  7ny  last  hour  shall  come,  utinam  ilium  diem  videam, 
Aft.  3,  3,  I  hope  I  may  see  the  day.  (b.)  utinam  conere,  Ph.  2,  101,  I  hope 
you  may  make  the  effort.  ( c .)  di  vortant  bene  quod  agas,  T.  Hec.  196,  may 
gods  speed  well  whate'er  you  U7idertahe.  qui  ilium  di  omnes  perduint,  T. 
Ph.  123,  him  7nay  all  gods  fordo.  6  utinam  hibernae  duplicentur  tempora 
brumae,  Prop.  1,  8,  9,  oh  that  the  winter  s  time  may  doubled  be.  utinam 
reviviscat  frater,  Gell.  10,  6,  2,  /  hope  7ny  brother  may  rise  froin  his  grave. 
ne  istuc  Iuppiter  sirit,  L.  28,  28,  1  r,  now  Jupiter  forefend.  The  perfect  is 
found  principally  in  old  Latin. 

1542.  The  present  is  very  common  in  asseveration  :  as, 

peream,  nisi  sollicitus  sum,  Fam.  15,  19,  4,  may  I  die,  if  1  am  7iot  wor¬ 
ried.  sollicitat,  ita  vivam,  me  tua  valetudo,  Fa7n.  16,  20,  your  state  of 
health  worries  me,  as  I  hope  to  live,  ita  vivam,  ut  maximos  sumptus  facio, 
Att.  5,  15,  2,  as  I  hope  to  be  saved \  I  a  771  making  great  outlays.  See  also  1622. 

*  247 


1 543— 1 548.]  Sentences:  The  Simple  Sentence. 


1543.  The  perfect  subjunctive  sometimes  refers  to  past  action  now  completed : 
as,  utinam  abierit  malam  crucem,  PI.  Poen.  799,  /  hope  he's  got  him  to  the 
bitter  cross  (1165).  utinam  spem  impleverim,  Plin.  Ep .  1,  10,  3,  I  hope  I  may 

have  fulfilled  the  expectations. 

1544.  (2.)  The  imperfect  represents  a  wish  as  hopeless  in 
the  present  or  immediate  future,  the  pluperfect  represents  it  as 
unfulfilled  in  the  past :  as, 

(a.)  tecum  ludere  slcut  ipsa  possem,  Cat.  2,  9,  could  I  with  thee  but 
play ,  e’en  as  thy  mistress'  self  to  Lesbia’s  sparrow,  utinam  ego  tertius  v5- 
bis  amicus  adscriberer,  TD.  5,  63,  would  that  I  could  be  enrolled  with  you 
myself,  as  the  third  friend,  says  tyrant  Dionysius  to  Damon  and  Phintias. 
(b.)  utinam  me  mortuum  prius  vldisses,  QFr.  1,  3,  1,  I  wish  you  had  seen 
me  dead  first.  (r.)  utinam  ne  in  nemore  Peli5  securibus  caesa  acce- 
disset  abiegna  ad  terram  trabes,  E.  in  Cornif.  2,  34,  had  but,  in  Pelion's 
grove ,  by  axes  felled,  ne’er  fallen  to  the  earth  the  beam  of fir ,  i.  e.  for  the  Argo, 
utinam  ille  omnis  secum  copias  eduxisset,  C.  2,  4,  I  07ily  wish  the  man 
had  marched  out  all  his  train-bands  with  him. 

1545.  In  old  or  poetical  Latin,  the  imperfect  sometimes  denotes  unfulfilled  past 
action,  like  the  usual  pluperfect ;  as,  utinam  in  Sicilia  perbiteres,  PI.  R.  494, 
would  thou  hadst  died  in  Sicily,  utinam  te  dl  prius  perderent,  PI.  Cap.  5 37, 
I  wish  the  gods  had  cut  thee  off  before. 

1546.  In  poetry,  a  wish  is  sometimes  thrown  into  the  form  of  a  conditional  protasis 
with  si  or  o  si  :  as,  5  si  urnam  argent!  f5rs  quae  mihi  mbnstret,  H.  S.  2, 

6,  10,  oh  if  some  chance  a  pot  of  money  may  to  me  reveal. 


(B.)  Exhortation,  Direction,  Statement  of  Propriety. 

1547.  The  subjunctive  may  be  used  to  express  an 
exhortation,  a  direction,  or  a  statement  of  propriety. 

The  subjunctive  of  exhortation  is  sometimes  preceded  in  old  Latin  by 
uti  or  ut,  originally  interrogative.  In  negative  exhortations  or  directions, 
ne,  nemo,  nihil,  or  numquam,  See.,  is  used,  rarely  non. 


1548.  (1.)  T  he  present  expresses  what  is  to  be  done  or  is  not 
to  be  done  in  the  future :  as, 

(a.)  hoc  quod  coepl  primum  enarrem,  T.  Hau.  27^,  first  let  me  tell  the 
story  I’ve  begun,  taceam  nunc  iam,  PI.  B.  1058,  let  me  now  hold  my  tongue. 
considamus  hie  in  umbra,  Leg.  2,  7,  let  tes  sit  down  here  in  the  shade,  ne 
difficilia  optemus,  V.  4,  15,  let  us  not  hanker  after  impossibilities.  ( b .)  haice 
•  vtei  •  in  •  coventionid  •  exdeicatis,  CIL.  1,  1 9 6,  23,  this you  are  to  proclaim 
in  public  assembly.  ( c .)  nomina  declinare  et  verba  in  primis  pueri  sciant, 
Quintil.  1,  4,  22,  first  and  foremost  boys  are  to  know  hoiv  to  inflect  nouns  and 
verbs,  uti  adserventur  magna  diligentia,  PI.  Cap.  115,  let  them  be  watched 
with  all  due  care,  ne  quis  tamquam  parva  fastidiat  grammatices  ele- 
menta,  Quintil.  1,4,  6,  let  no  man  look  down  on  the  rudiments  of  grammar f 
fancying  them  insignificant.

The  Verb:  Mood . 


1549.  (2.)  The  perfect  subjunctive  is  rare:  as,  idem  dictum  sit,  Quintil,  1,  1, 
8,  the  sam e  be  said ,  once  for  all.  Mostly  in  prohibitions  :  as,  moratus  sit  nemo 
quo  minus  abeant,  L.  9,  11,  13,  let  no  man  hinder  them  from  going  away . 

1550.  In  positive  commands,  the  second  person  singular  often  has  a  defi¬ 
nite  subject  in  old  or  epistolary  Latin,  and  particularly  sis,  for  the  imperative 
es  or  estd.  Usually  however  an  indefinite  subject  ( 1030) :  as, 

(tf.)  eas,  PI.  B.  519,  be  off.  hie  apud  nos  hodie  cenes,  PI.  Most.  1129, 
dine  here  with  us  today,  cautus  sis,  mi  Tiro,  Fam.  16,  9,  4,  you  must  be  care¬ 
ful,  dear  Tiro,  (b.)  ist5  bond  utare,  dum  adsit,  CM.  33,  enjoy  this  blessing 
while  you  have  it  with  you. 

1551.  In  prohibitions,  the  second  person  singular  of  the  present  is  often 
used  in  old  Latin  with  a  definite  subject.  Usually  however  the  perfect 
is  employed,  either  with  a  definite  or  with  an  indefinite  subject:  as, 

(a.)  ne  ilium  verberes,  PI.  B.  *jtfl,you  must  n't  thrash  the  man.  Once  in 
Horace :  ne  sis  patruos  mihi,  S.  2,  3,  88,  don't  flay  stern  governor  to  me. 
( b .)  ne  transieris  Iberum,  L.  21,  44,  6,  do  not  cross  the  Iberus.  quod  dubi- 
tas  ne  feceris,  Plin.  Ep.  1,  18,  5,  what  you  have  doubt  about ,  never  do. 

1552-  (3-)  T  he  imperfect  or  pluperfect  subjunctive  is  sometimes  used  to 
express  past  obligation  or  necessity  :  as, 

(a.)  Imperfect:  quae  hie  erant  curares,  T.  Hec.  230,  thou  shouldst  have 
looked  to  matters  here,  pateretur,  T.  Hau.  202,  he  should  have  stood  it.  quod 
si  meis  incommodis  laetabantur,  urbis  tamen  periculd  commoverentur, 
Best.  54,  7 uell,  if  they  did  gloat  over  my  mishaps ,  still  they  ought  to  have  been 
touched  by  the  danger  to  Rome,  eras  ires  potius,  PI.  Per.  710, you'd  better 
have  gone  totnorroiu,  i.  e.  have  resolved  to  go  tomorrow,  poenas  penderes, 
PI.  B.  427,  thou  hadst  to  pay  a  penalty.  ( b .)  Pluperfect:  restitisses,  repug- 
nasses,  mortem  pugnans  oppetisses,  Poet,  in  Sest.  45,  thou  shouldst  have 
made  a  stand,  fought  back,  and  fighting  met  thy  fate,  quid  facere  debuisti  ? 
frumentum  ne  emisses,  V.  3,  195,  what  ought  you  to  have  done  l  you  should 
not  have  bought  any  wheat.  Usually,  however,  past  obligation  or  necessity  is 
expressed  by  the  gerundive  construction,  or  by  some  separate  verb  meaning 
ought  (1496). 

(C.)  Willingness,  Assumption,  Concession. 

1553.  The  subjunctive  of  desire  may  be  used  to  denote  will¬ 
ingness,  assumption,  or  concession  :  as, 

oderint  dum  metuant,  Poet,  in  Suet.  Cal.  30,  they  are  welcome  to  hate,  as 
long  as  they  fear.  ,  ne  sit  sane  summum  malum  dolor,  malum  certe  est, 
TD.  2,  14,  grant  for  aught  I  care  that  pain  is  not  the  worst  evil,  an  evil  it 
certainly  is.  nil  fecerit,  esto,  J.  6,  222,  he  may  be  guiltless,  be  it  so. 


II.  THE  SUBJUNCTIVE  OF  ACTION  CONCEIVABLE. 

1554.  The  subjunctive  is  ofterl  used  to  represent  ac¬ 
tion  as  conceivable,  without  asserting  that  it  actually 
takes  place. 

249 


1 5 5 5 — 1 5 5^-H  Sentences:  The  Simple  Sentence, 


In  some  of  its  applications,  this  subjunctive  is  often  more  exactly  defined 
by  an  expression  of  doubt  or  of  assurance :  as,  fors  fuat  an  in  Plautus, 
forsitan  from  Terence  on  (rarely  forsan,  fors),  fortasse,  may  be^  perhaps; 
opinor,  haud  sci5  an,  /  fancy ;  facile,  easily, .  sine  ulla  dubitatione,  unhes¬ 
itatingly,  &c.,  &c.  The  negative  used  with  this  subjunctive  is  non. 

1555.  This  subjunctive  is  particularly  common  in  guarded  or  diffident  state¬ 
ments  :  thus,  velim,  /  could  wish ,  nolim,  /  shoidd  not  be  willing,  malim,  I  would 
rather,  dlxerim,  I  should  say ,  are  often  preferred  to  a  blunter  void,  I  insist,  nolo, 
I  won't,  maid,  I  prefer,  or  died,  I  say. 

1556.  The  present  denotes  action  in  an  indefinite  future  :  as, 

(a.)  ego  forsitan  in  grege  adnumerer,  RA.  89,  as  for  me,  I  might  per¬ 
haps  be  counted  in  the  common  herd,  mutuom  argentum  rogem,  PI.  Tri.  758, 
money  I  might  borrozo.  haud  scio  an  recte  dicamus,  Sest.  58, 1  rather  think 
we  may  say  with  propriety,  (b.)  The  second  person  singular  generally  has  an 
imaginary  subject  (1030) :  as,  dicas  hie  forsitan,  J.  1,  150,  here peradventure 
thou  mayst  say,  i.e.  anybody  may  say.  roges  me  quid  sit  deus,  auctore 
utar  Simonide,  DN.  1,  60,  you  may  ask  me  what  god  is  ;  I  should  foil ozv  the 
lead  of  Simonides,  migrantis  cernas,  V.  4,  401,  thou  canst  descry  them  on  the 
move  (1635).  Often  with  some  generalizing  word,  such  as  saepe,  numqjuam, 
plures  :  as,  saepe  videas,  H.  S.  1,  4>  86,  thou  oft  canst  see.  Fortunam 
citius  reperias  quam  retineas,  Publil.  Syr.  168,  dame  Fortune  thou  mayst 
sooner  find  than  bind,  (c.)  nunc  aliquis  dicat  mihi,  H.  .9.  1,  3,  19,  now 
somebody  may  say  to  me  (more  commonly  dicet  aliquis,  dices,  1620).  for- 
sitan  aliquis  dicat,  L.  5,  52,  5, perhaps  somebody  may  say.  mirum  fortasse 
hoc  vobis  videatur,  V.  3,  109 ,  perhaps  this  may  seem  strange  to  you. 

J557*  (r-)  The  perfect  is  rarely  used  of  past  time.  In  this  use  it  resem¬ 
bles  the  perfect  of  concession  ( 1 553 ) :  as> 

(a.)  forsitan  temere  fecerim,  RA.  31,  peradventure  I  may  have  acted 
rashly,  erraverim  fortasse,  Plin.  Ep.  1,  23,  2,  I  may  have  been  mistaken 
perhaps,  (b.)  concedo ;  forsitan  aliquis  aliquando  eius  modi  quippiam 
fecerit,  V.  2,  78,  I  grant  it;  perhaps  somebody,  at  some  time  or  other,  may 
have  done  something  of  the  sort,  haec  ipsa  forsitan  fuerint  non  necessaria, 
Br.  52,  even  this  may  perhaps  have  been  superfluous. 

1558.  (2.)  The  perfect  is  oftenest  used  with  a  future  meaning,  and 
particularly  the  first  person  singular  active  of  verbs  meaning  think  or 
say  :  as, 

(a.)  non  facile  dixerim,  TD.  5,  121,  I  could  not  readily  say.  hoc  sine 
ulla  dubitatione  ednfirmaverim,  Br.  25,  this  I  can  assert  zvithout  any  hesita¬ 
tion.  pace  tua  dixerim,  TD.  5,  12,  by  your  leave  I  zvould  say.  The  first 
person  plural  occurs  first  in  Cornificius,  and  is  rare :  as,  hunc  deum  rite 
beatum  dixerimus,  DAr.  1,  52,  such  a  god  we  should  be  right  in  pronouncing 
happy,  (b.)  plane  perfectum  Demosthenem  facile  dixeris,  Br._  fy,  you 
zuould  readily  pronounce  Demosthenes  absolutely  perfect  (1030).  tu.  vero  eum 
nec  nimis  valde  umquam  nec  nimis  saepe  laudaveris,  Leg.  3,  1,  oh  no, 
rest  assured  you  never  can  praise  him  too  emphatically  nor  too  often,  conlu- 
viem  istam  non  nisi  metu  coercueris,  Ta.  14,  44,  such  a  motley  rabble 
you  can  only  keep  under  by  terrorism,  [c.)  forsitan  quispiam  dixerit,  Off. 
3,  29.  perhaps  somebody  may  say.

The  Verb  :  Mood ' 


[1559-1563- 


1559-  (1.)  The  imperfect  sometimes  denotes  action  which  might 
have  taken  place  in  the  past  :  as, 

(a.)  non  ego  h5c  ferrem  calidus  iuventa  consule  Planed,  H.  3,  14, 

27,  this  I  should  not  have  brooked  in  my  hot  youth,  in  Plan  cits'  consulate . 
(b.)  The  second  person  singular,  particularly  of  verbs  meaning  see,  make  out, 
think,  say,  generally  has  an  imaginary  subject  (1030) :  as,  videres,  H.  S.  2, 
8,  77,  thou  might st  have  seen,  cerneres,  L.  22,  7,  12,  you  might  have  descried. 
nescires,  L.  3,  35,  3,  you  could  not  have  told .  te  columen  rgi  publicae 
dlceres  intueri,  Sest.  19,  you  would  have  sworn  you  were  gazing  on  a  pillar 
of  the  state.  (<:.)  qui  videret,  urbem  captam  diceret,  V.  4,  52,  anybody  who 
salt)  it,  would  have  said  it  was  a  captured  city,  dlcl  hoc  in  te  non  potest,

said  in  your  case ;  it  might  have  been  said  in  Tar  quin's,  when  he  was  driven 
from  the  throne. 

1560.  (2.)  The  imperfect  often  denotes  action  not  performed  at 
the  present  time;  so  especially  vellem  (nSllem,  mallem)  :  as, 

(a.)  nimis  vellem  habere  perticam,  PI.  As.  589,  I  wish  so  much  I  had 
a  stick,  vellem  adesse  posset  Panaetius ;  quaererem  ex  eo,  TD.  1,81, 
I  only  wish  Panaetius  could  be  with  us:  I  should  ask  him  (Panaetius  was 
dead),  cuperem  voltum  videre  tuum,  Alt.  4,  16,  7,  I  should  like  to  see  the 
expression  of  your  face,  mallem  Cerberum  metueres,  TD.  1,  12,  I  would 
rather  you  stood  in  dread  of  Cerberus,  possem  idem  facere,  TD.  1,  84, 
I  could  do  the  same,  (b.)  melius  sequerere  cupidine  captam,  O.  14,  28, 
better  for  thee  it  were  a  loving  bride  to  woo.  (c.)  in  hac  fortuna  perutilis 
eius  opera  esset,  Alt.  9,  17,  2,  in  the  present  pinch  his  services  would  be 
extremely  valuable. 

1561.  The  pluperfect  represents  action  which  did  not  take  place 
in  the  past :  as, 

(a.)  vellem  quidem  liceret :  hoc  dixissem,  PA.  138,  I  only  wish  it 
were  allowed;  I  should  have  said  so  and  so.  (b.)  dedisses  huic  animd  par 
corpus,  fecisset  quod  optabat,  Plin.  Ep.  1,  12,  8,  you  might  have  given  tins 
spirit  a  body  to  match  ;  he  would  have  done  what  he  craved  to  do.  (c.)  urbes 
et  regna  celeriter  tanta  nequitia  devorare  potuisset,  Ph.  2,  67,  such  colos¬ 
sal  prodigality  might  have  been  capable  of  swallowing  down  cities  and  kingdoms 
speedily,  vicissent  inprobos  boni ;  quid  deinde  ?  Sest.  43,  the  good  might 
have  overpowered  the  bad ;  what  next  ? 

1562.  It  may  be  mentioned  here,  that  the  subjunctive  of  action  conceiv¬ 
able  often  extends  to  subordinate  sentences:  see  1731. 


Questions. 

1563.  I.  The  subjunctive  is  often  used  to  ask  what  action 
or  whether  any  action  is  desired,  commanded,  proper,  or  neces¬ 
sary. 

In  many  instances  a  negative  answer  or  no  answer  at  all  is  expected. 
The  negative  is  ne,  sometimes  n5n.

ium  indicamus,  an  n5n  ?  Inv.  1,  17,  are  we  to  declare  war  against  Corinth,  or 
not  i  utrum  indicare  meet  thensaurum  aequom  fuit,  an  ego  alium  do- 
minum  paterer  fieri  hisce  aedibus  ?  PI.  Tri.  175,  should  I  have  pointed  out 
the  hoard  to  him ,  or  should  I  have  allowed  another  to  become  the  owner  of  this 
house  ?  here  paterer  is  equivalent  to  aequom  fuit  pati  (1495)- 

1565.  11.  The  subjunctive  is  often  used  to  ask  whether  action 
is  conceivable :  as, 

(a.)  quis  putet  celeritatem  ingenii  L.  Brutd  defuisse  ?  Br.  53,  who 
can  suppose  that  Brutus  lacked  ready  wit?  i.  e.  nemo  putet  (1556),  putabit 
(1620),  or  putare  potest,  si  enim  ZenSni  licuit,  cur  non  liceat  Cat5ni  ? 
Fin.  3,  1 5,  for  if  it  was  allowed  Zeno,  why  should  not  it  be  al/o7ued  Cato  ? 
(b.)  hoc  tantum  bellum  quis  umquam  arbitraretur  ab  und  imperatore 
confici  posse  ?  IP.  31,  who  would  ever  have  dreamed  that  this  stupendous 
7oar  could  be  brought  to  a  close  by  a  single  commander  ?  The  imperfect 
sometimes  denotes  action  not  performed  at  the  present  time  (1560)  : 
quis  enim  civis  regi  non  faveret?  D.  6,  for  7uhat  Roman  would  not  feel 
for  the  king?  (c.)  ego  te  videre  nSluerim  ?  QFr.  1,3,  1,  I  have  objected  to 
seeing  you  ? 

1566.  The  subjunctive  is  often  used  in  interrogative  outbursts  of 
surprise,  disapprobation,  indignation,  or  captious  rejoinder.  In  such 
questions  a  pronoun,  ego,  tu  (ille),  is  usually  expressed.  The  nega¬ 
tive  is  non. 

This  subjunctive  occurs  in  Plautus  and  Terence,  in  Cicero,  oftenest  the 
letters,  in  Horace,  Vergil,  and  Livy.  Not  in  Caesar  nor  Sallust. 

1567.  (1.)  The  question  may  have  no  interrogative  word,  or  may  have 
-ne,  especially  in  comedy  :  as, 

(a.)  non  taces  ?  : :  taceam  ?  T.  Ph.  987,  you  hold  your  tongue  : :  I  hold 
my  tongue?  ne  fle  : :  egone  ilium  non  fleam?  PI.  Cap.  139,  7veep  not:: 
zvhat,  I  not  7ucep  for  him  ?  tu  pulses  omne  quod  obstat  ?  H.  S.  2,  6,  30, 
what,  you,  sir,  punch  whatever ’s  in  your  way  ?  faveas  tu  host!  ?  ille  litteras 
ad  te  mittat  ?  Ph.  7,  5,  you, sir,  sympathize  with  the  enemy  ?  he  correspond  with 
yoji?  sapiensne  n5n  timeat?  Ac.  2,  135,  a  sage  not  be  afraid?  (b.)  ego 
mihl  umquam  bonorum  praesidium  defuturum  putarem  ?  Mil.  94,  could 
I  have  dreamed  that  I  should  ever  lack  the  protection  of  the  patriotic  ?  (c.)  ‘  apud 
exercitum  mihl  fueris  *  inquit  ‘tot  annSs  ?’  Mur.  21, 1  to  think  of  your  hav¬ 
ing  been  with  the  army,  bless  my  soul?  says  he,  1  so  many  years?  (d.)  mihl  cuius- 
quam  salus  tanti  fuisset,  ut  meam  neglegerem  ?  Sull.  45,  could  anybody's 
safety  have  been  so  important  in  my  eyes  as  to  make  me  disregard  my  own  ?

1568.  (2.)  The  question  may  have  uti  or  ut:  as, 

te  ut  ulla  res  frangat  ?  tu  ut  umquam  te  corrigas  1C.  i,  22,  any  thing 
break  you  down  ?  you  ever  reform  ?  pater  ut  obesse  filio  debeat  1  Plane . 
31,  a  father  morally  bound  to  work  against  his  sou  ? 

1569.  (3.)  The  question  with  uti  or  ut  is  sometimes  attended  by  a  remnant 
of  another  question  with  -ne  or  -n.  In  this  combination,  -ne  either  pre¬ 
cedes,  joined  to  an  emphatic  word,  or  it  is  attached  directly  to  uti  or  ut :  as, 

(a.)  egone  ut  te  interpellem  1  TD.  2,  42,  what  I  ?  interrupt  you?  illine 
ut  impune  concitent  finitima  bella  ?  L.  4,  2,  12,  what ,  they  be  allowed  to  stir 
up  border  warfare  with  impunity  ?  virgo  haec  liberast  : :  meane  ancilla 
libera  ut  sit,  quam  ego  numquam  emisi  manu  ?  PI.  Cur.  615,  this  girl  is 
free  : :  my  servant-girl  ?  she  to  be  free ,  when  I  have  never  set  her  free  ?  [b.)  utne 
tegam  spurc5  Damae  latus  ?  H.  S.  2,  5,  iS,  what,  I'm  to  shield  a  nasty 
Damn's  side?  somnium.  utine  haec  ignoraret  sudm  patrem  ?  T .  Ph. 
874,  oh  bosh,  not  to  have  known  the  father  that  begat  her  ?  See  1505  and  1532. 

1570.  It  may  be  mentioned  here,  that  the  interrogative  subjunctive  is 
often  used  in  subordinate  sentences  :  see  1731. 


THE  IMPERATIVE  MOOD. 

Command. 

1571.  The  second  person  of  the  imperative  mood  is 
used  in  commands,  either  particular  or  general. 

Commands  are  very  often  attended  by  a  vocative  or  vocative  nominative, 
or  by  tu,  sir ,  sirrah ,  or  v5s,  gentlemen,  you  people  ( 1 1  iS).  1  hey  are  of  various 
kinds,  as  follows :  (<■?.)  Order,  often  to  an  inferior  :  thus,  to  an  official :  lictor, 
conliga  manus,  Rab.  13,  L.  1,  26,  7,  Gell.  12,  3,  2,  lictor,  tie  up  his  wrists. 
To  soldiers:  as,  desilite  milites,  4,  25,  3,  ozerboard,  my  men.  signifer, 
statue  signum,  L.  5,  55,  1,  standardbearer,  plant  your  standard.  Infer  miles 
signum,  L.  6,  8,  1,  advance  your  standard,  man,  or  charge.  To  sailors:  as, 
hue  dirigite  naves,  L.  29,  27,  13,  head  your  galleys  this  way.  To  slaves  :  as, 
convorrite  aedes  scopis,  agite  strenue,  PI.  B.  10,  sweep  up  the  house  with 
brooms ,  be  brisk.  Also  to  an  equal :  as,  aperite  aliquis,  PI.  Mer.  130,  open  the 
door  there  somebodv  (10S0).  Or  to  a  superior  :  as,  heus,  exi,  Phaedrome, 
PI.  Cur.  276,  ho  Phaedromus,  come  out.  (b.)  Exhortation,  entreaty,  summons, 
request,  prayer,  imprecation,  wish,  concession,  &c. :  as,  vos  vobis  consulite, 
7,  50,  5,  every  man  of  you  for  himself,  es,  bibe,  animo  obsequere,  PI.  MG. 
677,  eat,  drink ,  and  be  merry,  sperne  voluptates,  H.  E.  1,  2,  55,  scorn  thou 
delights,  quin  tu  i  intro,  PI.  Most.  815,^  in,  go  in,  won't  you  go  in  ?  ( 1527 ). 
patent  portae,  proficiscere,  educ  tecum  etiam  omnis  tubs,  C.  1,  10,  the 
gates  are  open ,  march  forth;  take  out  all  your  myrmidons  with  you  too.  audi, 
Iuppiter,  I..  1,  32,  6,  bow  derwu  thine  ear ,  fupiter.  I  in  crucem,  PI.  As.  940, 
get  you  gone  to  the  cross,  vive  valeque,  H.  S.  2,  5>  1 09  ’  l°ng  itve  and  thrive , 
or  farezvell.  tib!  habe,  PI.  Men.  690,  you  keep  it  yourself. 

253 


1 5  72—1 5  79.]  Sen tences  :  T he  Simple  Sen te?ice. 


1572.  The  imperative  is  often  softened  by  the  addition  of  amabd,  obse- 
cro,  quaes o,  prithee,  I  beg ,  or  sis,  sultis,  s5des,//m^  (774).  It  is  sharp¬ 
ened  by  age,  agedum  or  agidum,  age  sis,  mark  me,  or  i,  go,  come  on,  or  by 
modo,  only.  The  concessive  imperative  sometjmes  has  sane, /hr  all  me. 

1573.  In  Plautus  and  Terence,  the  enclitic  dum,  a  while ,  a  minute,  just,  is  often 
attached  to  the  imperative:  as,  manedum,  PI.  As.  585,  wait  a  minute.  In  classi¬ 
cal  Latin,  dum  is  retained  with  age  and  agite  :  as,  agedum  cSnferte  cum 
illius  vita  P.  Sullae,  Sull.  72,  come  now,  compare  Sulla's  life  with  that  man's 
(1075). 

1574.  It  may  be  mentioned  here,  that  the  imperative  is  often  used  in  the 
protasis  of  a  conditional  sentence  :  as, 

tolle  hanc  opinionem,  luctum  sustuleris,  TD.  1,  30,  do  azvay  with 
this  notion,  and  you  will  do  away  with  mourning  for  the  dead.  Once  only  in 
old  Latin,  but  often  in  late  Latin,  with  a  copulative  :  as,  perge,  ac  facile 
ecfeceris,  PI.  B.  695,  start  on,  and  you  will  do  it  easily. 

1 575-  (1.)  The  third  person,  and  the  longer  forms  of  the  sec¬ 
ond  person,  are  used  particularly  in  laws,  legal  documents,  and 
treaties,  and  also  in  impressive  general  rules  and  maxims:  as, 

(a.)  regio  imperio  du5  suntd,  Leg.  3,  8,  there  shall  be  two  men  vested  with 
the  power  of  kings,  amicitia  regl  Antiochd  cum  populS  Romans  his  le- 
gibus  estS,  L.  38,  38,  I,  there  shall  be  amity  between  king  Antiochus  and  Rome 
on  the  following  terms,  (b.)  vicinis  bonus  estS,  Cato,  RR.  4,  always  be  good 
to  your  neighbours.  mSribus  vivito  antiquis,  PI.  Tri.  295,  live  thou  in  old- 
time  ways.  The  longer  forms  are  often  called  the  Future  Imperative. 

1576.  (2.)  The  longer  forms  of  the  second  person  are  also  sometimes  used  in  the 
ordinary  speech  of  everyday  life  :  as,  cavetS,  QFr.  1,  3,  8,  beware.  In  old  Latin, 
often  es,  be  thou ,  but  in  classical  Latin,  oftener  estS  (or  sis).  Usually  habeto, 
meaning  keep ,  or  consider,  regularly  scitS,  SCltSte,  you  must  knozu  (846).  In  verse, 
the  long  forms  may  sometimes  be  due  to  the  metre  :  as,  hie  hodie  cenatS,  PI.  R. 
1417,  take  dinner  here  today,  par  prS  pari  refertS,  T.  Eu.  445,  pay  tit  for  tat. 
But  also  without  such  necessity:  as,  auferto  intrS,  PI.  Tru.  914,  take  it  within. 
quietus  esto,  inquam,  T.  Ph.  713,  be  not  concerned,  I  say. 

1577.  (3.)  It  may  be  mentioned  here,  that  the  longer  forms  are 
very  often  used  in  the  apodosis  of  a  complex  sentence,  particularly 
with  a  future  or  a  future  perfect  protasis  :  as, 

si  iste  ibit,  ito,  PI.  Ps.  863,  if  he  shall  go,  go  thou.  medied  mercedis 
quantum  poscet,  promitti  iubeto,  Fam.  16,  14,  1 ,  you  must  order  your  med¬ 
ical  man-  to  be  promised  all  he  shall  charge  in  the  voay  of  a  fee.  ub!  nihil  erit 
quod  scribas,  id  ipsum  scribito,  Att.  4,  8  b,  4.  when  you  don't  have  anything 
to  write,  then  write  just  that,  cum  ego  P.  Granium  testem  produxero, 
refellito,  si  poteris,  V.  5,  154,  when  I  put  Granins  on  the  witness  stand, 
refute  him  if  you  can. 

1578.  In  such  combinations,  however,  the  shorter  forms  are  sometimes  found  : 
as,  ubi  voles,  accerse,  T.  Andr.  84 S,  fetch  me  when  you  will.  And  conversely 
the  longer  forms  are  also  found  with  a  present  protasis:  as,  unum  illud  videtS,  si 
me  amas,  Fam.  16,  1,  2,  attend  to  this  one  thing ,  an  thoji  lovest  me. 

1579.  A  command  is  sometimes  expressed  by  the  subjunctive,  accompany¬ 
ing  fac,  facitS,  fac  ut,  facitd  ut,  cura  ut,  curatd  ut,  vide,  vide  ut,  void, 

or  particularly  velim  :  as,

magnum  fac  animum  habeas  et  spem  bonam,  QFr.  1,  2,  16,  see  that 
you  keep  up  an  heroic  soul  and  unabated  hope  (1712).  fac  cogites,  Pam.  11, 
3,  4,  see  that  you  bear  in  mind,  cura  ut  valeas,  Pam.  12,  29,  3,  take  good  care 
of  yourself,  velim  exjstimes,  P'am.  12,  29,  2,  /  should  like  to  have  you

indicative,  1624  ;  in  the  form  of  a  question,  1531. 

1580.  A  periphrastic  perfect  passive  form  is  rare:  as,  iure  caesus  estd,  Twelve 
Tables  in  Macrob.  Sat.  1,  4,  19,  he  shall  be  regarded  as  killed  with  justifying  cir¬ 
cumstances.  probe  factum  estd,  L.  22,  10,  6,  let  it  be  considered  justified,  at 

vos  admoniti  nostris  quoque  casibus  este,  O.  Tr.  4,  8,  51,  but  be  ye  warned 
by  our  misfortunes  too. 

Prohibition. 

1581.  (1.)  In  prohibitions  with  the  second  person,  the  imperative  with 
ne  is  used  in  old  Latin,  and  with  neve  as  a  connective,  rarely  neque  :  as, 

ne  fle,  PL  Cap.  139,  weep  not.  ne  saevi  tanto  opere,  T.  Andr.  868,  be 
hot  thus  wroth.  Sometimes  in  classical  poetry  also,  in  imitation  of  old  style  : 
as,  ne  saevi,  magna  sacerdos,  V.  6,  544,  rave  not ,  thou  priestess  grand. 
Once  in  Livy  :  ne  timete,  3,  2,  9,  be  not  afraid. 

1582.  From  Ovid  on,  non  is  used  a  few  times  for  ne  :  as,  non  carls  aures 
onerate  lapilllS,  O.  A  A.  3,  129,  load  not  with  precious  stones  your  ears. 

I583-  (2-)  Prohibitions  in  the  second  person  are  usually  ex¬ 
pressed  by  noli  or  nolite  with  the  infinitive,  particularly  in 
classical  prose  :  as, 

obiurgare  noli,  Att.  3,  n,  2,  don't  scold,  nolite  id  velle  quod  fieri  non 
potest,  Ph.  7,  25,  don't  yearn  after  the  unattainable. 

1584.  In  poetry,  equivalents  for  noli  are  sometimes  used  with  the  infinitive,  such 
as  fuge_,  parce  or  comperce,  conpesce,  mitte  or  omitte,  absiste  :  as,  quid 
sit  futurum  eras,  fuge  quaerere,  H.  1,  9,  13,  what  fate  the  morrow  brings , 
forbear  to  ask.  Livy  has  once  parce,  34,  32,  20. 

1585.  (3.)  A  prohibition  in  the  second  person  is  often  expressed  by  the 
subjunctive  accompanying  cavg,  cav6  ne,  caveto  ne,  fac  ne,  vide  ne,  videtS 
ne,  cura  ne,  curato  ne,  or  nolim  :  as, 

cave  festines,  Fam.  16,  12,  6,  don't  be  in  a  hurry,  caveto  ne  suscen- 
seas,  PI.  As.  372,  see  that  thou  beest  not  wroth,  hoc  nolim  me  iocarl  putes, 
Fam.  9,  15,  4,  /  should  hate  to  have  you  think  P  am  saying  this  in  fun.  For 
prohibitions  in  the  second  person  with  ne  and  the  present  or  perfect  sub¬ 
junctive,  see  1551.  For  the  subjunctive  coordinated  with  cavi,  see  1711. 

1586.  In  law  language,  prohibitions  are  expressed  by  the  third  person  of 
the  imperative  with  ne,  and  with  neve  as  a  connective :  as,. 

hominem  mortuom  in  urbe  ne  sepellto  neve  urito,  Twelve  Tables  in 
Leg.  2,  58,  he  shall  not  bury  nor  yet  shall  he  burn  a  dead  man  in  town,  mulie- 
res  genas  ne  raduntS  neve  lessum  funeris  ergo  habento,  Twelve  Tables 
in  Leg.  2,  59,  women  shall  not  tear  their  cheeks  nor  shall  they  keen  in  lamentation 
for  the  dead  (1257).  Likewise  with  nemo:  as,  neminl  parento,  Twelve 
Tables  in  Leg.  3,  8,  they  shall  not  be  subject  to  anybody.  See  also  1548.

THE  TENSES  OF  THE  INDICATIVE. 

The  Present  Tense. 

1587.  The  present  indicative  represents  action  as 
going  on  at  the  time  of  speaking  or  writing :  as, 

scribo,  I  write,  or  I  am  writing,  nunc  primum  audio,  T.  Andr.  936, 
for  the  first  time  I  hear,  notat  ad  caedem  unum  quemque  nostrum, 

C.  1,  2,  he  is  marking  ns  out  for  death ,  each  and  all.  domus  aedificatur, 
Att.  4,  2,  7,  the  house  is  building. 

1588.  T  he  present  is  used  to  denote  action  customary  or 
repeated  at  any  time,  or  a  general  truth  :  as, 

agri  culturae  non  student,  6,  22,  1,  they  do  not  apply  thetnselves  to  fawn¬ 
ing.  viri  in  uxores  vitae  necisque  habent  potestatem,  6,  19,  3,  the  mar¬ 
ried  meti  have  power  of  life  and  death  over  their  wives,  probitas  laudatur  et 
alget,  J.  1,  74,  uprightness  gets  extolled ,  and  left  out  in  the  cold,  dum  vitant 
stulti  vitia,  in  contraria  currunt,  H.  S.  1,  2,  24,  while  fools  essay  a  vice  to 
shun,  into  its  opposite  they  run.  mors  sola  fatetur  quantula  sint  hominum 
corpuscula,  j.  10,  172,  death  is  the  only  thing  that  tells  what  pygmy  things 
men’s  bodies  be.  stultdrum  plena  sunt  omnia,  Fam.  9,  22,  4,  the  world  is 
full  of  fools,  risu  ineptd  res  ineptior  nullast,  Cat.  39,  16,  there’s  nothing 
sillier  than  a  silly  laugh. 

1589-  The  present,  when  accompanied  by  some  expression  of 
duration  of  time,  is  often  used  to  denote  action  which  has  been  going 
on  some  time  and  is  still  going  on. 

This  present  is  translated  by  the  English  perfect:  as,  Lilybael  multos 
iam  annos  habitat,  V.  4,  38,  he  has  lived  at  Lilybaeum  this  many  a  year. 
iam  dudum  auscultd,  H.  S.  2,  7,  1,  I  have  been  listening  for  an  age.  satis 
diu  h5c  iam  saxum  vors5,  T.  Eu.  1085,  I’ve  trundled  at  this  boiilder  long 
enough  as  Pis.  nimium  diu  te  castra  desiderant,  C.  1,  10,  the  camp  has 
felt  your  absence  altogether  too  long,  iam  diu  ignoro  quid  agas,  Fam.  7,  9, 1, 
I  have  not  known  this  long  time  how  you  are  getting  on.  This  use  extends  to 
the  subjunctive  and  to  nouns  of  the  verb  also.  But  if  the  action  is  conceived 
as  completed,  the  perfect  is  used :  as,  sero  resistimus  61,  quern  per  annos 
decern  aluimus,  Att.  7,  5,  5,  it  is  too  late  to  oppose  a  man  whom  we  have  been 
supporting  ten  long  years. 

1590.  The  present  is  often  used  to  represent  past  action  as 
going  on  now.  This  is  called  the  Present  of  Vivid  Narration :  as, 

transfigitur  scutum  Pulioni  et  verutum  in  baited  defigitur.  avertit 
hie  casus  vaginam,  inpeditumque  hostes  circumsistunt,  5,  44,  7,  Pulio 
has  his  shield  run  through,  and  a  javelin  sticks  fast  in  his  sword  belt.  This 
mischance  puts  his  scabbard  out  of  reach ,  and  the  enemy  encompass  him  in 
this  hampered  condition.  This  present  often  stands  side  by  side  with  a  pasf 
tense.  It  is  common  in  subordinate  sentences  also.

This  is  called  the  Annalistic  Present:  as, 

Proca  deinde  regnat,  is  Numitorem  prScreat.  Numitori  regnum 
vetustum  Silviae  gentis  legat,  L.  1,  3,  9,  after  this  Proca  is  king  ;  this  man 
begets  Nicmitor  ;  to  Numitor  he  bequeaths  the  ancient  throne  of  the  Silvian 
race,  duplicator  clvium  numerus.  Caelius  additur  urbi  mons,  L.  1, 
30,  r,  number  of  citizens  doubled ;  Mt.  Caelius  added  to  city,  in  Mamurrarum 
lassi  deinde  urbe  manemus,  H.  S.  1,  5,  37,  in  the  Mamurras’  city  then 
forspent  we  sleep.  Particularly  common  with  dates:  as,  A.  Verginius  inde 
et  T.  Vetusius  consulatum  ineunt,  L.  2,  28,  1,  then  Verginius  and  Vetusius 
enter  on  the  consulship.  M.  Silano  L.  Norbano  consulibus  Germanicus 
Aegyptum  proficlscitur,  Ta.  2,  59,  in  the  consulship  of  Silanus  and  Norbanus, 
Germanicus  leaves  for  Egypt. 

1592.  Verbs  of  hearing,  seeing,  and  saying  are  often  put  in  the  present, 
even  when  they  refer  to  action  really  past :  as, 

audio  Valerium  Martialem  decessisse,  Plin.  Ep.  3,  21,  1,  I  hear  that 
Martial  is  dead ,  i.  e.  the  epigrammatist,  102  a.  d.  Particularly  of  things  men¬ 
tioned  in  books,  or  in  quoting  what  an  author  says:  as,  Hercyniam  silvam, 
quam  Eratostheni  notam  esse  video,  6,  24,  2,  the  Hercynian  forest ,  which 
/  see  was  known  to  Eratosthenes.  Plats  ‘  escam  maldrum  ’  appellat  vo- 
luptatem,  CM.  44,  Plato  calls  pleasure  the  *  bait  of  sink 

I593-  The  present  is  sometimes  loosely  used  of  future  action  :  as, 

eras  est  mihi  iudicium,  T.  Eu.  338,  tomorrow  I've  a  case  in  court. 
ego  sycophantam  iam  conducd  de  ford,  PI.  Tri.  815,/^  me,  a  sharper 
from  the  market  place  I'll  straight  engage,  quam  mox  inruimus  ?  T.  Eu. 
788,  hoxu  soon  do  we  pitch  in  ?  This  present  is  also  used  in  subordinate  sen¬ 
tences  with  antequam  and  priusquam  (1912,  1915),  with  dum,  until  (2006), 
and  sometimes  with  si. 

The  Imperfect  Tense. 

1594.  The  imperfect  indicative  represents  action  as 
going  on  in  past  time  :  as, 

scribebam,  I  was  writing,  or  1  wrote,  ei  mihi  qualis  erat,  V.  2,  274, 
woe's  me,  hoxo  ghastly  he  appeared,  multosque  per  annds  errabant  act! 
fatis,  V.  1,  31,  and  they  for  many  a  year  xvere  roaming  round,  by  fates  pxirsxied. 

1595.  The  imperfect  often  denotes  past  action  lasting  while 
something  else  occurred  :  as, 

an  turn  eras  cdnsul,  cum  mea  domus  ardebat  ?  Pis.  26,  xvere  yoxi  per¬ 
haps  consid  at  the  time  my  house  xuas  burning  down  ?  neque  vero  turn 
igndrabat  se  ad  exquisita  supplicia  proficisci,  Off.  3,  100,  and  all  the 

time  he  knexv  perfectly  well  that  he  xuas  starting  off  to  suffer  studied  torments. 

1596.  The  imperfect  is  used  to  denote  repeated  or  customary 
past  action  or  condition  :  as, 

commentabar  declamitans  cotidie,  Br.  310,  /  alxuays practised  speaking 
my  compositions  every  day.  noctu  ambulabat  in  publico  Themistocles, 

TD.  4,  44,  Thcixiistocles  used  to  promenade  the  streets  nights.

I597~I^°3-]  Sentences:  The  Simple  Sentence. 


I597*  The  imperfect,  when  accompanied  by  some  expression  of 
duration  of  time,  is  used  to  denote  action  which  had  been  going  on  for 
some  time,  and  was  still  going  on. 

This  imperfect,  which  is  translated  by  the  English  pluperfect,  is  analo¬ 
gous  to  the  present  in  1589 :  as,  pater  grandis  natu  iam  diu  lect5  teneba- 
tur,  V.  5,  16,  his  aged  father  had  long  been  bedridden,  horam  amplius  iam 
permulti  homines  moliebantur,  V.  4,  95,  something  over  an  hour  a  good 
many  men  had  been  prizing  azoay.  But  if  the  action  is  conceived  as  completed 
at  a  past  time,  the  pluperfect  is  used  :  as,  diem  iam  quintum  cib5  caruerat, 
6,  38,  four  70  hole  days  he  had  gone  without  eating. 

1598.  In  a  few  examples,  the  imperfect  is  used  to  denote  action  suddenly  recog¬ 
nized,  though  going  on  before:  as,  ehem,  Parmeno,  tun  hie  eras  ?  T.  Hcc.  340, 

why  bless  me.  Parmeno ,  ivere  you  here  all  this  time  ? 

1599.  In  descriptions  of  place  or  in  general  truths,  where  the  present  might  be 
expected,  the  imperfect  is  sometimes  used,  by  assimilation  to  past  action  in  the  con¬ 
text  :  as,  ipsum  erat  oppidum  Alesia  in  colie  summo,  7,  69,  x,  Alesia proper 
was  situated  on  the  top  of  a  hill.  Often  also  in  subordinate  sentences. 

1600.  For  the  imperfect  indicative  of  certain  verbs  relating  to  action  not  per¬ 
formed  at  the  present  time,  see  1497. 

1601.  In  letters,  the  imperfect  may  denote  action  at  the  time  of  writing, 
the  writer  transferring  himself  to  the  time  of  the  reader:  as, 

haec  tibi  dictabam  post  fanum  putre  Vacunae,  H.  E.  1,  10,  49,  I  dic¬ 
tate  this  for  thee  behind  Vaeuna's  crumbling  shrine,  nihil  habebam  quod 
scriberem,  Att.  9,  10,  1,  I  have  nothing  to  write.  Similarly  in  the  delivery 
of  messages :  as,  scribae  orabant,  H.  S.  2,  6,  36,  the  clerks  request.  The 
present,  however,  is  very  often  used  where  the  imperfect  would  be  applicable. 
Compare  1616. 


The  Perfect  Tense. 

1602.  The  Latin  perfect  indicative  represents  two  English  tenses :  thus, 
the  preterite,  I  wrote,  and  the  perfect,  I  have  written ,  are  both  expressed  by 
the  perfect  scrips!.  In  the  first  sense,  this  perfect  is  called  the  Historical 
Perfect ;  in  the  second  sense,  it  is  called  the  Perfect  Definite. 


The  Historical  Perfect. 

1603.  The  historical  perfect  simply  expresses  action 
as  having  occurred  at  an  indefinite  past  time,  without 
implying  anything  as  to  the  duration  of  the  action :  as, 

scrips!,  I  wrote,  veni,  vidi,  vici,  Caesar  in  Suet.  Iul.  37,  came,  sazv,  oz’er- 
came.  apud  Helvetios  longe  nobilissimus  fuit  Orgetorix,  1,  2,  1,  among 
the  Helvetians ,  the  man  of  highest  birth  by  all  odds  7oas  Orgetorix.  Diodorus 
prope  triennium  domo  caruit,  V.  4,  41,  for  nearly  three  years  Diodorus  had 
to  keep  away  from  home,  in  Graecia  musici  flbruerunt,  discebantque  id 
omnes,  TD.  1,  4,  in  Greece  musicians  stood  high,  and  everybody  studied  the 
art  (1596). 


The  Verb:  Tense . 


[1604-1610. 


1604.  It  may  be  mentioned  here,  that  in  subordinate  sentences  the  historical  per¬ 
fect  is  sometimes  loosely  used  from  the  writer’s  point  of  view,  instead  of  the  more 
exact  pluperfect  demanded  by  the  context  :  as,  aliquantum  spatii  ex  e5  loco, 
ub!  pugnatum  est,  aufugerat,  L.  1,  25,  8,  he  had  run  off  some  distance  froyn 
the  spot  where  the  fighting  had  occurred. 


The  Perfect  Definite. 

1605.  The  perfect  definite  expresses  action  already 
completed  at  the  present  time,  and  whose  effects  are 
regarded  as  continuing  :  as, 

scrips!,  I  have  written,  dixerunt,  Clu.  73,  dixere,  Quintil.  1,  5,  43,  they 
have  finished  speaking,  spectatores,  fabula  haec  est  acta,  PI.  Most.  1181, 
ladies  and  gentlemen,  this  play  is  done. 

1606.  In  old  Latin,  habeo  with  the  perfect  participle  is  sometimes  equivalent  to 
a  periphrastic  perfect:  as,  ilia  omnia  missa  habeo,  PI.  Ps.  602,  I've  dropped 
all  that ,  i.  e.  misi.  But  in  classical  Latin,  the  participle  and  a  tense  of  habeo  are 
more  or  less  distinct  in  their  force  :  as,  Caesar  aciem  instructam  habuit,  1, 
48,3,  Caesar  kept  his  line  drawn  up,  not  had  drawn  up.  Compare  2297. 

1607.  With  verbs  of  inceptive  meaning  the  perfect  definite  is  equivalent 
to  the  English  present :  as, 

consisto,  take  my  stand, ,  constiti,  stand,  consuescS,  get  used,  consuevi, 
am  used,  nSsco,  learn,  n5vi,  know.  Similarly  memini,  remember,  and  odi, 
hate.  The  pluperfect  of  such  verbs  is  represented  by  the  English  imperfect, 
and  the  future  perfect  by  the  English  future. 

1608.  The  perfect  often  denotes  a  present  resulting  state:  as,  vicine,  peril, 
interii,  PI.  Most.  1031,  my  neighbour ,  I  am  dead  and  gone.  Particularly  in  the 
passive  voice :  as,  Gallia  est  omnis  divisa  in  partes  tres,  1,  1,  1,  Gaul,  includ¬ 
ing  everything  under  the  name ,  is  divided  into  three  parts.  Compare  1615. 

1609.  In  the  perfect  passive,  forms  of  fui,  &c.,  are  sometimes  used  to  represent 
a  state  no  long_er  existing  :  as,  monuments  statua  superimposita  fuit,  quam 
deiectam  nuper  vidimus  ipsi,  L.  38,  56,  3,  on  the  monument  there  once  stood 
a  statue  which  /  saw  not  long  ago  with  my  own  eyes,  lying  flat  on  the  ground.  Sim¬ 
ilarly,  in  the  pluperfect^,  fueram,  &c. :  as,  arma  quae  fixa  in  parietibus  fue- 
rant,  ea  sunt  humi  inventa,  Div.  1,  74,  the  ar/ns  which  had  once  bec7i  fastened 
on  the  walls  were  fo7aid  071  the  floor.  Sometimes,  however,  forms  of  fui,  &c., 
fueram,  &c.,  and  fuerS,  &c.,  are  used  by  Plautus,  Cicero,  especially  in  his  letters, 
Nepos,  Sallust,  and  particularly  Livy,  in  passives  and  deponents,  quite  in  the  sense  of 
sum,  &c. 

1610.  The  perfect  sometimes  implies  a  negative  idea  emphatically  by 
understatement :  as, 

fuit  Ilium,  V.  2,  323,  Ilium  has  been,  i.e.  Ilium  is  no  more,  viximus, 
floruimus,  Fain.  14,  4,  5,  we  have  lived  our  life,  we  have  had  our  day.  filium 
unicum  adulescentulum  habe5.  ah,  quid  dixi?  habere  me  ?  immo  ha- 
bui,  T.  Hau.  93,  I  have  one  only  son,  a  growing  boy.  Ah  me,  what  did  I  say, 
/  have  ?  Oh  no,  have  had. 


259 


1 6 1 1 — 1 6 1 6.]  Sentences :  The  Simple  Sentence . 


1611.  The  perfect  may  denote  an  action  often  done,  or  never  done  :  as, 

iam  saepe  homines  patriam  carosque  parentes  prodiderunt,  Lucr. 

3,  85,  time  and  again  have  men  their  land  betrayed  and  parents  dear,  non 
aeris  acervus  et  auri  deduxit  corpore  febrxs,  H.  E.  1,  2,  47,  no  pile  of 
brass  and  gold  hath  fevers  from  the  body  drawn,  multi,  cum  obesse  vellent, 
profuerunt  et,  cum  prddesse,  obfuerunt,  DN.  3,  70,  many  a  man  has  done 
good,  when  he  meant  to  do  harm,  and  when  he  meant  to  do  good,  has  done  harm. 
Common  from  Cicero,  Sallust,  and  Catullus  on,  especially  in  poetry. 

1612.  The  perfect  is  sometimes  used  as  a  lively  future  perfect  to  express 
completed  future  action  :  as, 

quam  mox  coctumst  prandium  ?  PI.  R.  342,  how  soon  is  lunch  all  cooked? 
cui  si  esse  in  urbe  licebit,  vicimus,  Att.  14,  20,  3,  if  he  shall  be  allozved  to 
stay  in  town,  the  day  is  ours,  peril,  si  me  aspexerit,  PI.  Am.  320,  I’m  gone , 
if  he  lays  eyes  on  me. 

1613.  It  may  be  mentioned  here,  that  the  perfect  is  regularly  used  in  a 
subordinate  sentence  denoting  time  anterior  to  a  present  of  repeated  action 
(1588).  In  such  sentences  the  present  is  preferred  in  English  :  as, 

rgliqui,  qui  domi  manserunt,  se  atque  illos  alunt,  4,  1,  5,  the  others, 
that  stay  at  home,  always  support  themselves  and  the  above-mentioned  also,  si 
qui  aut  privatus  aut  populus  edrum  decreto  non  stetit,  sacrificiis  in- 
terdlcunt,  6,  13,  6,  if  any  man  or  any  community  does  not  abide  by  their  decree , 
they  always  debar  them  from  sacrifices .  So  also  with  quom  or  cum,  quo- 
tiens,  simul  atque,  ubl.  Compare  1618. 

The  Pluperfect  Tense. 

1614.  The  pluperfect  indicative  expresses  past  ac¬ 
tion,  completed  before  another  past  action  expressed  or 
understood  :  as, 

scripseram,  I  had  written.  Pyrrhi  temporibus  iam  Apollo  versus 
facere  desierat,  Div.  2,  116,  in  Pyrrhus's  day  Apollo  had  quite  given  tip 
making  poetry,  mortuus  erat  Agis  rex.  filium  reliquerat  Leotychidem, 

N.  17,  1,4,  Agis  the  king  had  died ;  he  had  left  a  son  Leotychides. 

1615.  The  pluperfect  often  expresses  a  past  resulting  state  :  as, 

castra  oportunis  locis  erant  posita,  7,  69,  7,  the  camp  was  pitched  on 
favourable  ground,  ita  uno  tempore  et  longas  naves  aestus  compleverat, 
et  onerarias  tempestas  adflictabat,  4,  29,  2,  thus  at  one  arid  the  same  time 
the  tide  had  filled  the  mcn-ofi-war,  and  the  gale  of  wind  kept  knocking  the  trans¬ 
ports  about.  This  use  is  analogous  to  that  of  the  perfect  in  1608. 

1616.  In  letters,  the  pluperfect  is  sometimes  used  to  denote  action  occur¬ 
ring  previous  to  the  time  of  writing,  the  writer  transferring  himself  to  the 
time  of  the  reader  :  as, 

unam  adhuc  a  te  epistolam  acceperam,  Att.  7,  12,  1,  I  have  only  had 
one  letter  from  you  thus  far.  This  use  is  analogous  to  that  of  the  imperfect 
in  1601,  and  very  often,  where  this  pluperfect  would  be  applicable,  the  perfect 
is  used. 


260 


The  Verb :  Tense. 


[1617-1622. 


1617.  The  pluperfect  is  sometimes  used  where  the  perfect  would  be  expected. 
Particularly  so  when  it  anticipates  a  past  tense  to  follow  in  a  new  sentence :  as,  quod 
factum  prim5  popularis  coniurationis  concusserat.  neque  tamen 
Catilinae  furor  minuebatur,  S.  C.  24,  1,  this  terrified  the  conspirators  at first ; 
and  yet  Catiime's  frenzy  was  not  getting  abated.  Verbs  of  saying  are  also  often  put 
in  the  pluperfect  in  subordinate  sentences  referring  to  a  preceding  statement  :  as, 
Epidamniensis  ille,  quem  dudum  dixeram,  adoptat  ilium  puerum  sur- 
rupticium,  PI.  Men.  frol.  57,  said  man  of  Epidamnus  that  I  named  erewhile 
adopts  said  kidnapped  boy. 

1618.  It  may  be  mentioned  here,  that  the  pluperfect  is  used  in  a  subordi¬ 
nate  sentence  denoting  time  anterior  to  a  past  tense  of  repeated  action.  In 
such  sentences  the  preterite  is  preferred  in  English  :  as, 

hostes  ubi  aliquos  singulares  conspexerant,  incitatis  equls  adorie- 
bantur,  4,  26,  2,  every  time  the  enemy  caught  sight  of  detached  parties ,  they  would 
always  charge  full  gallop.  Compare  the  analogous  perfect  in  1613. 

The  Future  Tense. 

i6ig.  The  future  indicative  expresses  future  action, 
either  momentary  or  continuous:  as, 

scribam,  I  shall  write ,  I  shall  be  writing,  or  I  toil l  write ,  I  will  be  writing. 
The  future  commonly  expresses  either  prediction,  or  will,  determination, 
promise,  threat :  as,  (a.)  tuas  litteras  exspectabo,  Att.  5,  7,  I  shall  boon  the 
lookout  for  letters  from  you.  ( b .)  vivum  te  non  relinquam  ;  moriere  virgis, 
V.  4,  85, 1  will  not  leave  you  alive  ;  you  shall  die  under  the  rod.  But  the  sharp 
distinction  which  exists  between  shall  and  will  in  the  English  future  and 
future  perfect  is  utterly  unknown  in  Latin:  thus,  in  occldar  equidem,  sed 
victus  non  peribo,  Cornif.  4,  65,  I  shall  be  murdered,  to  be  sure,  but  I  will 
not  die  a  vanquished  man,  the  difference  between  the  prediction  contained  in 
J  shall,  and  the  determination  contained  in  I  will,  cannot  be  expressed  in 
Latin. 

1620.  The  future  is  often  used  in  diffident  assertion,  to  express  an  as¬ 
sumption,  a  belief,  conviction,  or  concession,  of  the  speaker  himself,  without 
implying  its  universal  acceptance  :  as, 

dices,  TD.  2,  60,  you  1 will  say.  dicet  aliquis,  TD.  3,  46,  somebody  will 
say  (1556).  dabit  hoc  Zenoni  Polemo,  Fin.  4,  51,  Polemo  will  concede  this 
point  to  Zeno,  excudent  alii  spirantia  mollius  aera,  credS  equidem,  V.  6, 
847,  with  greater  grace,  I  well  believe,  shall  others  shape  the  bronze  that  breathes. 
Particularly  in  conclusions :  as,  sequetur  igitur  vel  ad  supplicium  beata 
vita  virtutem,  TD.  5,  87,  happiness  then  will  walk  with  goodness  even  to  the 
scaffold.  Or  in  general  truths :  as,  cantabit  vacuus  coram  latrone  viator, 
J.  10,  22,  the  pour e  man  'whan  he  goth  by  the  weye,  bifore  the  thev'es  he  may 
synge  and  pleye. 

1621.  The  future  sometimes  predicts  that  a  thing  not  yet  known  to  be  true  will 
prove  to  be  true  :  as,  haec  erit  bono  genere  nata,  PI.  Per.  645,  this  maid ,  you  'll 
find,  is  come  of  honest  stock ,  i.  e.  esse  reperietur.  Compare  the  imperfect  in 
1598. 

1622.  In  Plautus  and  Terence,  the  future  is  sometimes  used  in  protestations  or 
thanks:  as,  ita  me  dl  amabunt,  T.  Hau.  749,  so  help  me  heaven,  di  te  ama- 
bunt,  PI.  Men.  278,  the  gods  shall  bless  thee.  Usually,  however,  the  subjunctive  : 
see  1542  and  1541. 


261 


1623-1629.]  Sentences :  The  Simple  Sentence. 


1623.  The  future  is  sometimes  used  in  questions  of  deliberation  or  appeal :  as, 
dedemus  ergo  Hannibalem  ?  L.  21, 10,  n ,are  we  then  to  surrender  Hannibal ? 
hancine  ego  ad  rem  natam  memorabo?  PI.  R.  x8S,  am  I  to  say  that  I  -was 
born  for  such  a  fate  ?  Oftener  the  present  subjunctive  (1563),  or  sometimes  the  pres¬ 
ent  indicative  (1531). 

1624.  The  future  is  sometimes  used,  particularly  in  the  second  person, 
to  express  an  exhortation,  a  direction,  a  request,  a  command,  or  with  non 
a  prohibition :  as, 

eras  ferramenta  Teanum  tolletis,  Ii.  E.  1,  1,  86,  tomorrow  to  Teaman 
yo:i  will  take  your  tools.  bona  venia  me  audies,  DN.  1,  59,  you  will  listen 
to  me  with  kind  indulgence,  tu  interea  non  cessabis,  Earn.  5,  12,  10,  mean¬ 
time  you  zuill  not  be  inactive,  haec  igitur  tib!  erunt  curae,  Earn.  3,  9,  4, 
you  zuill  attend  to  this  then,  i.  e.  haec  curabis. 

1625.  It  may  be  mentioned  here,  that  the  future  is  used  in  sentences  sub¬ 
ordinate  to  a  future,  an  imperative,  or  a  subjunctive  implying  a  future  :  as, 

profecto  nihil  accipiam  iniuriae,  si  tu  aderis,  Att.  5,  18,  3,  lam  sure 
I  shall  suffer  no  harm,  if  you  are  with  me.  ut  med  esse  voles,  ita  ero,  PI. 
Ps.  239,  as  you  will  have  me  be,  so  will  I  be.  ut  is  qui  audiet,  cogitet  plura, 
quam  videat,  DO.  2,  242,  so  that  the  hearer  may  imagine  more  than  he  secs. 
Put  sometimes  a  present  is  used  (1593). 

The  Future  Perfect  Tense. 

1626.  The  future  perfect  indicative  expresses  com¬ 
pleted  future  action  :  as, 

scrlpserd,  I  shall  have  written,  or  I  will  have  written.  The  future  perfect 
is  very  common  in  Latin,  particularly  in  protasis  with  a  relative,  with  cum, 
ubT,  &c.,  with  antequam  or  priusquam,  with  ut  (.  .  .  ita),  as  (.  .  .  so),  or 
with  si,  to  express  action  anterior  in  time  to  a  future  ;  in  English,  this  future 
perfect  is  usually  represented  by  a  loose  present  or  perfect :  as,  quicquid 
feceris,  adprobabo,  Earn.  3,  3,  2,  whatever  you  do,  I  shall  think  right. 
Examples  will  be  given  further  on,  in  speaking  of  the  complex  sentence. 

1627.  It  may  be  mentioned  here  that  the  future  perfect  in  protasis  and 
apodosis  both  denotes  two  actions  occurring  at  one  and  the  same  time ; 
these  actions  are  usually  identical :  as, 

qui  Antonium  oppresserit,  is  hoc  bellum  taeterrimum  confecerit, 

Earn.  10,  19,  2,  the  man  that  puts  dozun  Antony  will  put  an  end  to  this  cruel 
zuar,  i.  e.  putting  down  Antony  will  be  ending  the  war.  respiraro,  si  te 
videro,  Att.  2,  24,  5,  I  shall  take  breath  again,  if  I  set  eyes  on  you. 

1628.  The  future  perfect  sometimes  denotes  a  future  resulting  state  :  as, 

molestus  certe  ei  fuero,  T.  Andr.  641,  at  all  events  I  shall  have  proved  a 
bane  to  him.  meum  rli  publicae  atque  imperatori  officium  praestitero, 

4,  25,  3,  I  zuill  have  my  duty  all  done  to  country  and  commander  too. 

1629.  The  future  perfect  is  sometimes  used  to  express  rapidity  of  future 
action,  often  with  the  implication  of  assurance,  promise,  or  threat :  as, 

abiero,  PI.  Most.  590,  I'll  instantly  be  gone,  iam  hue  revenero,  PI.  MG. 
863,  B.  1066,  I'll  be  back  here  again  forthwith,  primus  impetus  castra 
ceperit,  L.  25,  38,  17,  the  first  rush  will  see  the  camp  carried. 

262 


The  Verb :  Tense. 


[1630-1635. 


1630.  The  future  perfect  often  denotes  action  postponed  to  a  more  con¬ 
venient  season,  or  thrown  upon  another  person. 

Often  thus  with  post,  alias,  and  particularly  mox:  as,  vobis  post  nar- 
raverS,  PL  Ps.  721,  I’ll  tell  you  by  and  by,  i.  e.  I  won’t  tell  you  now.  ad 
fratrem  mox  lero,  PL  Cap.  194,  I'll  to  my  brother's  by  and  by,  i.  e.  not  yet. 
fuerit  ista  eius  deliberatio,  L.  1,  23,  8,  that  is  a  question  for  him  to  settle, 
i.  e.  not  me.  Especially  videro ;  as,  quae  fuerit  causa,  mox  videro,  Fin. 
I,  35,  what  the  reason  was,  I  won' t  consider  now.  recte  secusne  alias  vide- 
rimus,  Ac.  2,  135,  whether  right  or  not,  we  will  consider  some  other  time,  i.  e. 
never,  vos  videritis,  L.  1,  58,  10,  that  is  a  question  for  you,  i.  e.  not  me. 

1631.  The  future  perfect  sometimes  denotes  action  which  will  have  oc¬ 
curred  while  something  else  takes  place  :  as, 

non  er5  vobis  morae  :  tibicen  vos  interea  hie  delectaverit,  PL  Ps. 

573%  I  will  not  keep  you  long  ;  meantime  the  piper  will  have  entertained  you 
here,  tu  invita  mulieres,  ego  accivero  pueros,  Att.  5»  h  3>  do  you,  sir,  in¬ 
vite  the  ladies ,  and  I  will  meantime  have  fetched  the  children. 

1632.  The  future  perfect  is  often  not  perceptibly  different  from  the  future, 
especially  in  the  first  person  singular  in  old  Latin  :  as, 

ego  mihi  providero,  PL  Most.  526,  I'll  look  out  for  myself,  eros  in 
obsidione  linquet,  inimicum  animos  auxerit,  PL  As.  280,  he’ll  leave  his 
owners  in  a  state  of  siege,  he  'll  swell  the  courage  of  the  enemy.  Similarly  Cicero, 
in  the  protases  si  potuero,  si  voluero,  si  licuerit,  si  placuerit. 


The  Future  Active  Participle  with  sum. 

1633.  T  he  future  active  participle  combined  with  the  tenses  of 
sum  expresses  action  impending,  resolved  on,  or  destined,  at  the  time 
indicated  by  the  tense  of  the  verb :  as, 

cum  hoc  equite  pugnaturi  estis,  L.  21,  40,  10,  with  this  hind  of  cavalry 
are  you  going  to  fight,  bellum  scripturus  sum,  quod  populus  Romanus 

cum  Iugurtha  gessit,  Sail.  I.  5,  1,  I  purpose  to  write  the  history  of  the  war 
that  the  people  of  Rome  carried  on  with  fugurtha.  fiet  illud,  quod  futurum 
est,  Div.  2,  21,  whatever  is  destined  to  be,  will  be.  Delphos  petiit,  ubi  co- 
lumnas,  quibus  impositurl  statuas  regis  Persei  fuerant,  suis  statuis 
destinavit,  L.  45,  27,  6,  he  went  to  Delphi ,  where  he  appropriated  for  his  own 
statues  the  pillars  on  which  they  had  intended  to  put  statues  of  king  Perse s. 


THE  TENSES  OF  THE  SUBJUNCTIVE. 

1634.  In  simple  sentences,  the  tenses  of  the  subjunctive  correspond  in 
general  to  the  same  tenses  of  the  indicative.  But  the  present  has  a  future 
meaning  ;  the  imperfect  sometimes  expresses  past,  sometimes  present  action-, 
and  the  perfect  sometimes  expresses  past  action,  and  sometimes  future  action. 

1635.  The  present  subjunctive  is  sometimes  used  in  reference  to  past  action,  like 
the  indicative  present  of  vivid  narration  (1590)  :  as,  migrantis  cernas,  V.  4,  401, 
you  can  descry  them  swarming  out  (1556).  comprehendl  iussit ;  quis  non 
pertimescat  ?  V.  5,  14,  he  ordered  them  to  be  arrested ;  who  would  not  be  thor¬ 
oughly  scared  l  (1565). 


263 


1636-1641.]  Sentences :  The  Coordinate  Sentence . 


THE  COMPOUND  SENTENCE,  OR  COORDINATION. 

1636.  Two  or  more  independent  simple  sentences 
may  be  coordinated  to  form  a  compound  sentence  in 
one  of  two  ways :  either  without  a  connective,  or  with 
a  connective. 

What  applies  to  the  coordination  of  sentences,  also  applies  to  the 
coordination  of  the  parts  of  sentences  in  abridged  sentences  (1057). 

(A.)  Without  a  Connective. 

1637.  When  simple  sentences  or  parts  of  sentences  are  co¬ 
ordinated  without  any  connective,  this  mode  of  arrangement  is 
called  Asyndetic  Coordination  or  Asyndeton. 

Asyndeton,  whether  in  unabridged  or  in  abridged  sentences,  is  more  usual 
with  three  or  more  members  than  with  two.  It  occurs  particularly  often  in 
Plautus,  Terence,  Ennius,  and  Cato,  also  in  Cicero,  especially  in  his  early 
works  and  letters. 

1638.  The  sentences  in  which  asyndeton  occurs  are  commonly  such  as 
might  be  connected  by  words  meaning  and  or  but ;  less  often  by  words 
meaning  as, for,  &c.  Asyndeton  is  especially  common: 

1639.  (Vz.)  In  animated  narration  of  events  happening  at  the  same 
moment,  in  description,  and  in  climaxes.  Also  in  mention  of  col¬ 
leagues  in  office,  and  in  many  set  phrases  and  formulas  :  as, 

venl,  vidi,  vici,  Caesar  in  Suet.  Iul.  37,  came,  saw,  overcame,  nostri  ce- 
leriter  ad  arma  concurrunt,  vallum  conscendunt,  5,  39,  3,  our  men  rush 
speedily  to  arms,  clamber  up  the  palisade,  huic  s.  c.  intercessit  C.  Caelius, 
C.  Pansa,  tribum  pi.,  Fam .  8,  8,  7,  this  decree  of  the  senate  was  objected  to  by 
Caelius  and  Pansa,  tribunes  of  the  commons,  hi  ferre  agere  plebem,  L.  3, 
37,  7,  there  were  these  people  worrying  and  harrying  the  commons  (1535). 

1640.  (b.)  In  contrasts  or  antitheses:  as, 

opinionis  commenta  delet  dies,  naturae  iudicia  confirmat,  DN.  2, 

5,  the  fictions  of  speculation  are  szvept  away  by  time,  but  the  judgements  of  nattire 
are  confirmed.  Particularly  when  either  member  is  positive,  the  other  nega¬ 
tive  :  vincere  scis,  Hannibal,  victoria  utl  nescis,  L.  22,  51,  4, you  knozv 
how  to  conquer,  Hannibal,  but  not  how  to  use  victory,  says  Maharbal  after 
Cannae,  216  B.  c. 

1641.  Asyndeton  is  very  common  with  two  or  more  imperatives:  as,  egredere 
ex  urbe,  Catilina,  libera  rem  publicam  metu,  in  exsilium  proficiscere, 

C.  1,  20,  go  forth  from  Rome ,  Catiline,  relieve  the  commonwealth  from  its  fear,  depart 
into  exile.  Particularly  when  the  first  is  age,  come  on,  mark  me,  or  i,  go  (1572). 
Rut  from  Horace  on,  i  nunc,  go  to  now,  is  followed  by  et  with  a  second  imperative 
in  derisive  orders. 


264 


Copulative  Coordination .  [1642-1647. 


1642.  Asyndeton  is  also  common  with  parentheses.  These  often  take  the  place 
of  a  modern  foot-note:  as,  legatus  capite  velatS  filo  (lanae  velamen  est) 
‘  audi,  Iuppiter,’  inquit,  E.  x,  32,  6,  the  envoy  with  his  head  covered  with  a 
‘filum  ’  ( that  is  to  say  a  wrap  of  wool )  says  ‘how  down  thine  ear ,  Jupiter. ’  Paren¬ 
theses  however  are  often  introduced,  from  Terence  on  by  nam,  and  from  Sallust  and 
Cicero  on,  by  et,  neque,  autem,  enim,  &c. 

(B.)  With  a  Connective. 

(1.)  CONJUNCTIONS  AS  CONNECTIVES. 

1643.  Simple  sentences  or  parts  of  sentences  may  be  con¬ 
nected  by  copulative,  disjunctive,  or  adversative  conjunctions. 

(a.)  Copulative  Conjunctions. 

1644.  Copulative  conjunctions  denote  union,  and  connect 
both  the  sentences  and  their  meaning.  They  are  et,  -que, 
atque  or  ac,  and ,  and  neque  or  nec,  neither . 

1645.  (1.)  et,  and ’  is  the  commonest  copulative,  and  connects  ei¬ 
ther  likes  or  unlikes  ;  with  two  members  only,  it  is  either  used  between 
them,  or  is  prefixed  for  emphasis  to  both  :  as, 

Dumnorix  apud  Sequands  plurimum  poterat  et  Helvetiis  erat  ami¬ 
cus,  I,  9,  3,  Dumnorix  was  very  influential  among  the  Sequani  and  a  friend 
to  the  Helvetians.  Democritus  alba  discernere  et  atra  non  poterat,  TD. 
5,  1 1 4,  Democritus  could  not  tell  white  and  black  apart,  et  discipulus  et 
magister  perhibebantur  inprobi,  PI.  B.  425,  both  pupil  and  master  were 
rated  as  knaves. 

1646.  With  three  or  more  members,  et  is  either  used  between  the  mem¬ 
bers  or,  frequently,  prefixed  for  emphasis  to  all.  Often,  however,  it  is 
omitted  throughout  (1637),  or  a  third  member  is  appended  by  -que  (1651): 
as, 

persuadent  Rauricis  et  Tulingis  et  Latovicis  uti  una  cum  his  profi- 
ciscantur,  I,  5,  4,  they  induce  the  Rauricans,  Tidingans ,  and  Latovicans  to 
join  them  in  their  march,  is  et  in  custodiam  cives  Romanos  dedit  et 
supplicationem  mih!  decrevit  et  indices  maximis  praemiis  adfecit,  C. 

4,  10,  this  person  voted  in  the  first  place  to  put  Roman  citizens  in  ward,  then 
to  decree  a  thanksgiving  in  my  honour,  and  lastly  to  reward  the  informers  with 
liberal  gifts. 

1647.  Two  members  belonging  closely  together  as  a  pair,  and  connected 
by  et,  atque,  or  -que,  ai'e  sometimes  put  asyndetically  with  another  member 
or  members  :  as, 

Aedui  ferunt  se  deiectSs  principatu  ;  queruntur  fortunae  commu- 
tationem  et  Caesaris  indulgentiam  in  se  requirunt,  7,  63,  8,  the  Aeduans 
set  forth  that  they  were  cast  dozen  from  the  chief  place  ;  they  cotnplain  of  the 
change  of  fortune,  and  say  they  miss  Caesar's  former  kindness  to  them,  nun- 
tiatum  est  equites  Ariovisti  propius  tumulum  accedere  et  ad  nostrSs 
adequitare  ;  lapides  in  nostrSs  conicere,  1,  46,  1,  it  was  reported  that  Ario- 
vistus’s  cavalry  were  moving  nearer  the  hillock  and  galloping  lip  to  the  Romans  ; 
that  they  were  throzoing  stones  at  our  men.

1648-1654-]  Sentences:  The  Coordinate  Sentence. 


1648.  et  has  sometimes  the  meaning  of  also  or  of  mid  also,  particularly  when  there 
is  a  change  of  speakers,  or  before  a  pronoun  :  as,  et  hoc  scio,  Plin.  Ep.  1,  12,  11,  / 
know  that  too.  Sometimes  also  after  verum,  nam,  and  simul,  especially  when  a 
pronoun  follows.  Not  in  Caesar. 

1649.  (2-)  -clue>  and,  combines  members  which  belong  together 
and  make  a  whole,  though  they  may  be  different  or  opposed  to  each 
other;  the  second  member  is  often  a  mere  appendage  :  as, 

rogat  dratque  te,  RA.  144,  he  begs  and  entreats  yon,  or  he  earnestly  entreats 
yon.  liberti  servolique  nobilium,  RA.  141,  the  freedme?i  and  slaves  of 
the  great,  or  retainers,  bond  and  free,  omnes  ea,  quae  bona  videntur, 
sequuntur  fugiuntque  contraria,  TD.  4,  12,  everybody  runs  after  what  seems 
good  and  avoids  the  opposite,  -que  is  usually  put  after  the  first  word  of  the 
new  member.  It  is  particularly  common  in  old  or  legal  style. 

1650.  The  combination  -que  .  .  .  -que,  both  .  . .  and,  is  very  common  in  poetry : 
as,  noctesque  diesque,  E.  in  CM.  1,  both  night  and  day.  In  prose,  it  is  used 
by  Sallust  when  the  first  word  is  a  pronoun:  as,  meque  regnumque  meum, 
I.  10,  2,  both  myself  and  my  throne;  and  by  Livy  to  connect  two  relative  sentences: 
as.  omnes  quique  Romae  quique  in  exercitu  erant,  22,  26,  5,  everybody , 
both  people  in  Rome  and  people  in  the  army. 

1651.  After  two  members  without  a  connective,  a  third  member  is  some¬ 
times  appended  by  -que  :  as, 

satis  habebat  hostem  rapinis,  pabulationibus,  populationibusque 
prohibere,  1,  15,  4,  he  was  satisfied  with  keeping  the  enemy  from  plundering, 
foraging,  and  ravaging. 

1652.  (3.)  atque,  or  before  any  consonant  except  h  often  ac,  and \ 
and  besides ,  adds  something  belonging  essentially  to  what  goes  before, 
but  more  important  as  a  supplement  or  extension  ;  as, 

se  ex  navi  prSiecit  atque  in  hostes  aquilam  ferre  coepit,  4,  25,  4,  he 

sprang  overboard  and  furthermore  proceeded  to  bear  the  eagle  npon  the  enemy. 

magna  dis  immortalibus  habenda  est  atque  huic  Iovi  StatbrI  gratia, 

C.  1,  11,  we  owe  a  great  debt  of  gratitude  to  the  gods  immortal  in  general,  and  to 
yon  fove  the  Stayer  in  particular,  atque  .  .  .  atque  occurs  for  et  .  .  .  et 
once  in  Vergil,  and  once  in  Silius  Italicus. 

1653.  atque  is  used  in  comparisons,  after  words  of  likeness  and  unlike¬ 
ness  :  as, 

pari  spatiS  transmissus,  atque  ex  Gallia  est  in  Britanniam,  5,  13,  2, 

the  journey  across  is  just  as  long  as  it  is  from  Gaid  to  Britain,  idemque  ius- 
serunt  simulacrum  Iovis  facere  maius  et  contra,  atque  antea  fuerat, 
ad  orientem  convertere,  C.  3,  20,  and  they  furthermore  gave  orders  to  make 
a  statue  of  Jupiter,  a  bigger  one,  and  to  turn  it  round  to  the  east,  the  opposite  of 
the  way  it  originally  faced.  Sometimes  et  is  thus  used  after  alius,  aliter, 
aeque,  pariter,  &c.  :  see  the  dictionary. 

1654.  With  adjectives  and  adverbs  in  the  comparative  degree,  atque  sometimes 
takes  the  place  of  quam  than,  when  the  first  member  of  comparison  is  negative 
(1895) :  as,  amicior  mihi  nullus  vlvit  atque  is  est,  PI.  Mer.  897,  /  have  no 
greater  friend  alive  than  that  man  is.  So  in  Plautus,  Terence,  Catullus,  Vergil, 
rarely  in  Cicero.  Horace  uses  atque  thus,  even  when  the  first  member  is  positive. 

266 


Copulative  Coordination .  [1655-1661. 


1655.  A  sentence  is  often  introduced  by  et,  -que,  or  atque,  where  but 
would  be  used  in  English,  particularly  so  when  a  positive  sentence  follows 
a  negative  one  :  as, 

Socrates  nec  patrSnum  quaesivit  nec  iudicibus  supplex  fuit  adhi- 
buitque  liberam  contumaciam,  TD.  I,  71,  Socrates  did  not  try  to  find  an 
advocate  nor  bow  the  knee  to  his  judges,  but  he  was  plain-spoken  and  defiant. 
nostrorum  militum  impetum  hostes  ferre  non  potuerunt  ac  terga  ver- 
terunt,  4,  35,  2,  the  e)ie?ny  could  not  stand  the  dash  of  our  people,  but  turned 
their  backs,  hominis  ne  Graeci  quidem  ac  Mysl  potius,  QFr.  1,  1,  19, 
a  creature  who  is  not  even  a  Greek,  but  more  of  a  Mysian. 

1656.  Two  sentences,  one  of  which  would  ordinarily  be  introduced  by  a  subordinat¬ 
ing  temporal  conjunction,  are  sometimes,  mostly  in  poetry,  coordinated  by  et  or  -que: 
as,  dixit  et  in  silvam  pennis  ablata  refugit,  V.  3,  258,  she  spake,  and  on  her 
pinions  sweeping,  vanished  to  the  wood ,  i.  e.  simul  atque  dixit,  refugit. 

i657-  (4-)  neque  or  nec,  neither ,  nor ,  and .  .  .  not,  but .  .  .  not ,  is 
used  as  a  negative  copulative,  sometimes  as  a  negative  adversative : 
as, 

opinionibus  volgi  rapimur  in  errorem  nec  vera  cernimus,  Leg.  2,  43, 
we  are  swept  into  error  by  the  delusions  of  the  world  and  cannot  i?iake  out  the 
truth.  n5n  enim  temere  nec  fortulto  creati  sumus,  TD.  1,  118,  for  we 
were  not  created  at  adventure  nor  by  accident,  subsidio  suis  ierunt  col- 
lemque  ceperunt,  neque  nostrorum  militum  impetum  sustinere  potu¬ 
erunt,  7,  62,  8,  they  went  to  aid  their  people  and  carried  the  hill,  but  they  coidd 
not  stand  the  fiery  onset  of  our  soldiers,  neque  or  nec  is  often  repeated  :  as, 
nec  melidres  nec  beatiores  esse  possumus,  RP.  1,  32,  we  can  neither  be 
better  nor  wiser. 

1658.  nec  is  rarely  used  in  the  sense  of  ne  .  .  .  quidem,  not  even,  not .  .  .  ei¬ 
ther:  as,  nec  nunc,  H.  S.  2,  3,  262,  not  eve7i  now,  a  free  quotation  of  ne  nunc 
quidem,  T.  Eu.  46.  nec  .  . '.  quidem,  and  not  even,  is  used  once  or  twice  for 
the  common  ac  ne  .  .  .  quidem  or  et  ne  .  .  .  quidem. 

1659.  Instead  of  neque  or  nec,  and  not,  the  copulatives  et,  atque,  rarely 
-que,  followed  by  a  negative,  non,  nemo,  nihil,  &c.,  are  sometimes  used  in  Cicero 
and  Livy,  less  often  in  old  Latin,  and  rarely  in  Caesar  and  Sallust :  as,  quid  tu 
fecisses,  si  te  Tarentum  et  non  Samarobrivam  misissem  ?  Fam.  7,  12, 
1,  what  would  you  have  done,  if  I  had  sent  yoti  to  Tarentum ,  and  not  to  Samaro- 
briva  7  Particularly  thus  et  n5n,  or  oftener  ac  non,  in  corrections.  But  ordinarijy 
neque  or  nec  is  preferred  to  et  non,  and  nec  quisquam,  &c.,  to  et  nemo, 
&c.  (1445). 

1660.  When  neque  is  followed  by  another  negative,  the  assertion  is 
positive  (1452):  as, 

nec  hoc  ille  non  vidit,  Fin.  4,  60,  and  the  man  did  not  fail  to  see  this. 
This  positive  use  begins  with  Varro.  In  old  Latin  two  negatives,  and  partic¬ 
ularly  neque  .  .  .  haud,  are  often  used,  as  in  old  English,  to  strengthen  the 
negation  (1453). 

1661.  After  a  general  negative,  a  word  may  be  emphasized  by  ne  .  .  . 
quidem  or  n5n  modo,  or  the  parts  of  a  compound  sentence  may  be  distrib¬ 
uted  by  neque  .  .  .  neque,  without  destroying  the  negation:  as,

nihil  in  locis  communibus,  ne  in  fanis  quidem,  nihil  istum  neque 
privati  neque  public!  t5ta  in  Sicilia  reliquisse,  V.  4,  2,  that  the  defendant 
has  left  nothing  untouched  in  public  places ,  no ,  not  even  in  the  temples ,  nothing 
cither  in  the  way  of  private  or  of  public  property,  in  all  Sicily.  Similarly  when 
a  coordinate  member  is  appended  with  neque :  as,  nequeo  satis  mirari 
neque  conicere,  T.  Eu.  547,  /  can't  quite  puzzle  out  or  guess. 


Combination  of  Different  Copulatives. 

1662.  Different  copulatives  are  sometimes  combined,  as  follows. 

1663.  (1.)  The  affirmative  copulatives  et  and  -que  are  sometimes  com¬ 
bined,  particularly  in  abridged  sentences  :  as, 

et  Epamlnondas  praeclare  cecinisse  dicitur,  Themistoclesque  est 
habitus  indoctior,  TD.  1,  4,  Epaminondas  in  the  first  place  is  said  to  have 
played  beautifully,  and  Themistocles  was  not  considered  exactly  an  educated 
man.  This  combination  occurs  in  Ennius,  is  used  by  Cicero  rarely,  and  by 
Horace  in  the  satires. 

1664.  The  sequence  -que  .  .  .  et  is  rare  in  old  Latin,  and  not  used  by  Caesar, 
Vergil,  or  Horace,  -que  .  .  .  atque  is  first  used  by  Lucretius,  then  by  Vergil,  Ovid, 
Livy,  and  Tacitus,  atque  .  .  .  et,  or  atque  .  .  .  -que,  does  not  occur. 

1665.  (2.)  Affirmative  and  negative  copulatives  are  sometimes  combined. 
Thus  neque  or  nec  combined  with  et,  in  the  sequences  neque  .  .  .  et  and 
et  .  .  .  neque,  which  is  rare  in  old  Latin,  is  common  in  Cicero:  as, 

nec  miror  et  gaudeo,  Fam.  10,  1,  4,  in  the  first  place  /  am  not  surprised, 
and  in  the  second  place  I  feel  glad  ;  neque  .  .  .  et  non,  however,  is  rare,  pa- 
tebat  via  et  certa  neque  longa,  Eh.  n,  4,  there  lay  a  road  open  at  once 
plain  and  not  long,  neque  .  .  .  -que  begins  with  Cicero,  but  is  rare  (1655), 
neque  .  .  .  ac  begins  with  Tacitus. 

1666.  Of  all  the  Latin  writers,  Tacitus  aims  most  at  varietv  by  combination  of 
asyndeton  and  by  the  use  of  different  copulatives:  as,  regem  Rhamsen  Libya 
Aethiopia  Medlsque  et  Persis  et  Bactrianb  ac  Scytha  potitum,  2,  60, 

that  king  Rhamses  got  control  of  Libya  and  Aethiopia  and  the  Medes  and  Persians , 
and  the  Bactrian  and  Scythian. 

(b.)  Disjunctive  Conjunctions. 

1667.  Disjunctive  conjunctions  connect  the  sentences,  but 
disconnect  the  meaning.  They  are  aut,  vel,  sive  or  seu, 
-ve,  and  an,  or.  Of  these  conjunctions,  aut,  vel,  and  sive, 
are  often  placed  before  two  or  more  members  of  a  sentence  in 
the  sense  of  either . . .  or.  And  in  poetry,  -ve  .  .  .  -ve  sometimes 
occurs. 

1668.  (1.)  aut,  or,  sometimes  or  even,  or  at  least,  is  used  between 
two  members  which  are  to  be  represented  as  essentially  different  in 
meaning,  and  of  which  one  excludes  the  other:  as,

sideribus  dubiis  aut  illo  tempore  qu5  se  frigida  circumagunt  pigri

round  rolls  slow  Bootes'  frigid  wain,  qua  re  vi  aut  clam  agendum  est, 
Att.  10,  12,  5  [10,  12  b,  2],  so  we  must  use  force ,  or  at  any  rale  secrecy.  Some¬ 
times  aut  connects  kindred  ideas:  as,  equi  icti  aut  vulnerati  consterna- 
bantur,  L.  21,  33,  6,  the  horses  kept  getting  frantic  from  being  hit  or  wounded. 

1669.  aut,  in  the  sense  of  otherwise ,  or  else ,  sometimes  intro¬ 
duces  a  statement  of  what  necessarily  follows,  if  something  else  is  not 
done :  as, 

audendum  est  aliquid  universis,  aut  omnia  singulis  patienda,  L. 

6,  iS,  7,  you  must  make  some  bold  dash  collectively,  or  else  you  must  suffer  every 
thing  individually,  vel  is  also  occasionally  used  in  this  sense. 

1670.  (2.)  vel,  or,  introduces  an  alternative  as  a  matter  of  choice 
or  preference,  and  often  relates  merely  to  the  selection  of  an  expres¬ 
sion  :  as, 

eius  modi  coniunctionem  tectorum  oppidum  vel  urbem  appellave- 

runt,  KP.  1,  41,  such  a  collection  of  dwelling-houses  they  called,  well,  a  town  or 
a  city,  ^whichever you  please,  vel  imperatore  vel  milite  me  utimini,  S.  C. 
20,  16,  use  me  as  your  generalissimo  or  as  a  private,  whichever  you  will.  Catili- 
nam  ex  urbe  vel  eiecimus  vel  emisimus  vel  ipsum  egredientem  verbis 
prosecuti  sumus,  C.  2,  1,  we  have  —  what  shall  I  say  1  —  driven  Catiline  out 
of  town,  or  allcrwed  him  to  go  out,  or,  when  he  was  going  out  of  his  own  accord, 
wished  him  a  pleasant  journey,  vel  is  often  followed  by  etiam,  potius,  or 
dicam.  From  Tacitus  on,  vel  is  sometimes  used  in  the  sense  of  aut :  as, 
vincendum  vel  cadendum  esse,  Ta.  14,  35,  they  must  do  or  die  (1668). 

1671.  vel  is  sometimes  used  in  the  sense  of  if  you  will,  even,  ox  perhaps, 
especially  before  superlatives,  or  in  the  sense  of  for  instance :  as, 

huius  domus  est  vel  optima  Messanae,  notissima  quidem  certe, 

V.  4,  3,  this  gentleman' s  house  is  perhaps  the  finest  in  all  Messana,  at  any  rate 
the  best  known,  amant  ted  omnes  mulieres,  neque  iniuria  :  vel  illae,  quae 
here  pallio  me  reprehenderunt,  PI.  MG.  5S,  the  girls  all  idolize  you,  well 
they  may  ;  for  instance  those  that  buttonholed  me  yesterday. 

1672.  (3.)  sive  or  seu,  or,  used  as  a  disjunctive  conjunction,  de¬ 
notes  a  distinction  which  is  not  essential,  or  the  speaker’s  uncertainty 
as  to  some  matter  of  detail;  when  used  once  only,  it  is  chiefly  in 
corrections,  often  with  potius,  rather,  added  ;  as, 

is  Ascanius  urbem  matri  seu  novercae  reliquit,  L.  1,3,3,  sa‘d  risca-  . 
nius  left  the  city  to  his  mother,  or  his  stepmother,  if  you  prefer,  dixit  Pom- 
peius,  sive  voluit,  QFr.  2,  3,  2,  Pompey  made  a  speech,  or  rather  attempted  to 
make  one. 


1673.  sive  is  often  repeated  in  the  sense  of  either,  or  no  matter 
whether  ...  or :  as,

ita  sive  casu  sive  consiliS  deorum,  quae  pars  calamitatem  popul5 
Romano  intulerat,  ea  princeps  poenas  persolvit,  i,  12,  6,  thus ,  no  matter 
whether  from  chance  or  through  special  providence ,  the  part  which  had  done 
damage  to  Rome  was  the  first  to  pay  penalty  in  full. 

1674.  (4.)  -ve  rarely  connects  main  sentences,  usually  only  the  less  impor¬ 
tant  parts  of  the  sentence,  or,  oftener  still,  subordinate  sentences :  as, 

cur  timeam  dubitemve  locum  defendere  ?  J.  1,  103,  why  should  I  fear 
or  hesitate  to  stand  my  ground  ?  Appius  ad  me  bis  terve  litteras  miserat, 

Alt.  6,  1,2,  Appius  had  1 written  me  two  or  three  times.  With  ne  it  forms  neve 
or  neu,  which  is  used  as  a  continuation  of  ne  or  ut :  see  1581 ;  1586;  1947. 

1675.  (5-)  The  interrogative  particle  an  sometimes  becomes  a  disjunctive  conjunc¬ 
tion,  or ,  or  possibly,  or  perhaps :  as,  Simonides  an  quis  alius,  Fin.  2,  104, 
Simonides  or  possibly  somebody  else.  Common  in  Cicero,  though  not  so  in  his 
speeches,  and  in  Livy,  commonest  in  Tacitus. 

(cl)  Adversative  Conjunctions. 

1676.  Adversative  conjunctions  connect  the  sentences,  but 
contrast  the  meaning.  They  are  autem,  on  the  other  hand , 
sed,  verum,  ceterum,  but,  vero,  but,  indeed,  at,  but,  tamen, 
nihil  6  minus,  nevertheless. 

Of  these  conjunctions,  autem  and  verb  are  put  after  one  word,  or  some¬ 
times  after  two  closely  connected  words  ;  tamen  is  put  either  at  the  begin¬ 
ning,  or  after  an  emphatic  word. 

1677.  (1.)  autem,  again ,  on  the  other  hand ,  however ,  simply 
continues  the  discourse  by  a  statement  appended  to  the  preceding, 
without  setting  it  aside  :  as, 

horum  principibus  pecunias,  civitati  autem  imperium  totius  pro- 
vinciae  pollicetur,  7.  64,  8,  to  the  chieftains  of  this  nation  on  the.  one  hand  he 
pro?Jiises  moneys ,  and  to  the  community  on  the  other  hand  the  hegemony  of  the 
whole  province.  The  opposition  in  a  sentence  introduced  by  autem,  again, 
is  often  so  weak  that  a  copulative,  and,  might  be  used  :  as,  ille  qui  Dlo- 
genem  adulescens,  post  autem  Panaetium  audierat,  Fin.  2,  24,  the  man 
who  in  his  early  youth  had  sat  at  the  feet  of  Diogenes,  and  afterwards  of 
Panaetius.  autem  is  oftenest  used  in  philosophical  or  didactic  discourse, 
less  frequently  in  history,  oratory,  or  poetry. 

1678.  autem  is  often  used  in  questions:  as,  metuo  credere  :  :  credere 
autem  ?  PI.  Ps.  304,  /  am  afraid  to  trust::  trust ,  do  you  say  ? 

1679.  (2.)  sed  or  set,  and  verum,  btit ,  are  used  either  in  restric¬ 
tion,  or,  after  a  negative,  in  direct  opposition:  as, 

vera  died,  sed  nequiquam,  quoniam  non  vis  credere,  PI.  Am.  835,  1 

tell  the  truth ,  but  all  in  vain,  since  you  are  bent  not  to  believe,  non  ego  erus 
tibi,  sed  servos  sum,  PI.  Cap.  241,  I  am  not  your  master ,  but  your  slave. 

1680.  non  modo,  or  non  solum,  not  only ,  ?wt  alone,  is  followed 
by  sed  etiam  or  verum  etiam,  but  also,  by  sed  .  .  .  quoque,  but .  .  .

bus  negbtiis  non  interfuit  solum,  sed  praefuit,  Fam.  1,  6,  1.  non  tantum 
is  sometimes  used  by  Livy,  and  once  or  twice  by  Cicero,  but  not  by  Caesar 
or  Sallust,  for  non  modo.  Livy  and  Tacitus  sometimes  omit  sed  or  verum. 

1681.  n5n  modo  has  sometimes  the  meaning  of  non  dicam  :  as,  n5n  modo 
ad  certam  mortem,  sed  in  magnum  vitae  discrimen,  Sest.  45,  /  won' t  say 

to  certain  death ,  but  to  great  risk  of  life. 

1682.  non  modo  or  non  solum,  when  attended  by  another  negative, 
may  also  be  followed  by  sed  ne  .  .  .  quidem,  but  not  even ,  or  sed  vix,  but 
hardly:  as, 

non  modo  tib!  non  irascor,  sed  ne  reprehendo  quidem  factum  tuum, 

Sull.  50,  so  far  from  being  angry  with  you  I  do  not  even  criticise  your  action. 
Wb"  both  members  have  the  same  predicate,  usually  placed  last,  the  nega¬ 
tion  in  ne  .  .  .  quidem  or  vix  usually  applies  to  the  first  member  also  :  as, 
talis  vir  non  modo  facere,  sed  ne  cogitare  quidem  quicquam  audebit, 
quod  n5n  audeat  praedicare,  Off.  3,  7 7,  a  man  of  this  kind  will  not  only  not 
venture  to  do ,  but  not  even  to  conceive  anything  which  he  would  not  venture  to 
trumpet  to  the  world ,  or  will  not  venture  to  conceive ,  much  less  do. 

1683.  (3.)  ceterum  is  sometimes  used  in  the  sense  of  sed,  in  Terence,  Sallust, 
and  Livy.  Sometimes  also  in  the  sense  of  sed  re  vera,  in  Sallust  and  Tacitus, 
to  contrast  reality  with  pretence. 

1684.  (4.)  vero,  but,  indeed ,  introduces  an  emphatic  contrast  or  a 
climax:  as, 

sed  sunt  haec  leviora,  ilia  vero  gravia  atque  magna,  PL  86,  however , 
all  this  is  less  important ,  but  the  following  is  weighty  and  great,  scimus  mu- 
sicen  nostris  moribus  abesse  a  principis  persSna,  saltare  vero  etiam 
in  vitiis  poni,  N.  15,  1,2,  we  know  that ,  accordi/ig  to  our  Roman  code  of  ethics, 
music  is  not  in  keeping  with  the  character  of  an  eminent  man,  and  as  to  dancing, 
why  that  is  classed  among  vices.  In  Plautus,  vero  is  only  used  as  an  adverb  ; 
its  use  as  an  adversative  conjunction  begins  with  Terence.  In  the  historians, 
vero  is  often  equivalent  to  autem. 

1685.  (5.)  at,  but,  denotes  emphatic  lively  opposition,  an  objec¬ 
tion,  or  a  contrast:  as, 

brevis  a  natura  nobis  vita  data  est ;  at  memoria  bene  redditae  vitae 

sempiterna,  Ph.  14,  32,  a  short  life  hath  been  given  by  nature  unto  man;  but 
the  memory  of  a  life  laid  down  in  a  good  cause  endureth  for  ever,  at  is  often 
used  before  a  word  indicating  a  person  or  a  place,  to  shift  the  scene,  espe¬ 
cially  in  history.  In  law  language,  ast  sometimes  occurs,  and  ast  is  also 
sometimes  used,  generally  for  the  metre,  in  Vergil,  Horace,  and  late  poetry. 

1686.  (6.)  tamen,  nihilo  minus,  nevertheless. 

accusatus  capitis  absolvitur,  multatur  tamen  pecunia,  N.  4,  2,  6,  he 

is  accused  on  a  capital  charge  and  acquitted,  but  is  nevertheless  fried  in  a  sum 

of  money,  minus  dolendum  fuit  re  non  perfecta,  sed  poeniendum  certe 
nibilo  minus,  Mil.  19,  there  was  less  occasion  for  sorrow  because  the  thing  was 
not  done,  but  certainly  none  the  less  for  punishment.

(2.)  OTHER  WORDS  AS  CONNECTIVES. 

1687.  Instead  of  a  conjunction,  other  words  are  often  used  as 
connectives :  as,  pars  .  .  .  pars,  alii  .  .  .  alii ;  adverbs  of  order  or 
time :  as,  primum ,  first,  or  primo,  at  first  .  .  .  deinde  .  .  .  turn,  &c.  ; 
and  particularly  adverbs  in  pairs  :  as,  modo  .  .  .  modo,  turn  .  .  .  turn, 
less  frequently  qua  .  .  .  qua,  simul  .  .  .  simul :  as, 

multitudo  pars  prdcurrit  in  vias,  pars  in  vestibulis  stat,  pars  ex 
tectis  prbspectant,  L.  24,  21,  8,  part  of  the  throng  runs  out  into  the  streets, 
others  stand  in  the  fore-courts ,  others  gaze  from  the  house-tops,  prdferebant 
alii  purpuram,  tils  alii,  gemmas  alii,  V.  5.  146,  they  produced  some  of  them 
purple ,  others  frankincense ,  others  precious  stones,  primo  pecuniae,  deinde

minute  this  seems  to  me  more  likely ,  and  another  minute  that. 

1688.  Simple  sentences  may  also  be  coordinated  by  words  denoting  infer¬ 
ence  or  cause,  such  as  ergo,  igitur,  itaque,  therefore ;  nam,  namque,  enim, 
for ,  ztznxm.,  for  you  see :  as, 

adfectus  animi  in  bon5  vird  laudabilis,  et  vita  igitur  laudabilis  boni 
viri,  et  honesta  ergo,  quoniam  laudabilis,  TD.  5,  47,  the  disposition  in  a 
good  man  is  praiseworthy ,  and  the  life  therefore  of  a  good  man  is  praiseworthy, 
and  virtuous  accordingly,  seeing  it  is  praiseworthy.  Of  these  words,  nam, 
namque,  and  itaque  are  usually  put  first  in  the  sentence;  enim  and  igitur 
usually  after  one  word,  rarely  after  two.  But  in  Plautus  regularly,  and  gener¬ 
ally  in  Terence,  enim  has  the  meaning  of  indeed,  verily,  truly,  depend  upon  it, 
and  may  stand  at  the  beginning. 

l68g.  In  Plautus,  the  combination  ergd  igitur  occurs,  and  in  Terence  and  Livy, 
itaque  erg5  :  as,  itaque  erg5  cSnsulibus  dies  dicta  est,  L.  3,  31,  5,  accord¬ 
ingly  then  a  day  ivas  set  for  the  trial  of  the  consuls. 

1690.  The  interrogative  quippe,  why  ?  losing  its  interrogative  meaning,  is  also 
used  as  a  coordinating  word,  why,  or  for:  as,  hoc  genus  omne  maestum  ac 
sollicitum  est  cantdris  morte  Tigelll  :  quippe  benignus  erat,  H.  S.  1,  2, 

2,  such  worthies  all  are  sad,  are  woebegone  over  Tigellius  the  minstrel's  death  ;  why 
he  was  generosity  itself. 

1691.  Simple  sentences  may  also  be  coordinated  by  pronominal  words, 
such  as  hinc,  inde,  hence,  eo,  ideo,  idcirco,  propterea,  so,  on  that  account, 
&c. :  as, 

nocte  perveniebant ;  e5  custSdias  hostium  fallebant,  L.  23,  19,  10, 

they  got  there  in  the  night ;  in  that  way  they  eluded  the  enemy's  pickets.  But 
eo  and  ideo  are  not  used  thus  by  Cicero,  Caesar,  or  Sallust,  or  idcirco  and 
propterea  by  Cicero  or  Caesar. 

1692.  In  animated  rhetorical  discourse  any  word  repeated  with  emphasis 
may  serve  as  a  copulative  ;  this  is  called  Anaphora  :  as, 

miles  in  forum,  miles  in  curiam  comitabatur,  Ta.  1,  7 ,  soldiers  went, 
with  him  to  the  forum,  soldiers  to  the  senate  chamber,  erepti  estis  ex  interitu, 
erepti  sine  sanguine,  sine  exercitu,  sine  dimicatione,  C.  3,  23,  you  are 
rescued  from  death,  rescued  without  bloodshed,  without  an  army,  without  a 
struggle.

The  Intermediate  Coordinate  Sentence.  [1693-1698. 


The  Intermediate  Coordinate  Sentence. 

1693.  A  sentence  coordinate  in  form  with  another  sentence 
is  often  equivalent  in  meaning  to  a  subordinate  sentence.  Such 
sentences  are  called  Intermediate  Coordinate  Sentences. 

The  most  varied  relations  of  a  subordinate  sentence  may  be  thus  ex¬ 
pressed  by  a  coordinate  sentence,  and  the  combination  of  the  two  coordinate 
sentences  is  in  sense  equivalent  to  a  complex  sentence. 

1694.  Such  coordinated  sentences  are  a  survival  of  a  more  primitive  state 
of  the  language.  They  occur  oftenest  in  Plautus  and  Terence,  in  Cicero’s 
philosophical  works  and  letters,  in  Horace’s  satires  and  epistles,  and  in 
Juvenal.  In  general  they  have  been  superseded  by  complex  sentences,  even 
in  the  oldest  specimens  of  the  language. 


1695.  I.  The  relation  of  the  two  members  may  not  be  indi¬ 
cated  by  the  mood,  but  left  to  be  determined  from  the  context. 

Thus,  in  the  combination  amat,  sapit,  PI.  Am.  995,  he  is  in  love ,  he  shows 
his  sense,  the  two  members  amat  and  sapit  are  alike  in  form.  But  in  sense, 
sapit  is  the  main  member  and  amat  is  the  subordinate  member.  Just  what 
the  relation  of  the  amat  is,  whether  it  is  si  amat,  if  he  is  in  love ,  cum  amat, 
when  he  is  in  love,  quod  amat,  because  he  is  in  love,  or  etsi  amat,  though 
he  is  in  love,  &c.,  &c.,  is  left  to  the  reader  to  make  out.  The  following  are 
some  of  the  commonest  combinations  of  this  class  : 

1696.  (1.)  The  coordinated  member  may  stand  instead  of  the  commoner 
accusative  and  infinitive  with  a  verb  of  perceiving,  thinking,  knowing,  or 
saying  (2175).  Such  are  credS,  fateor,  opinor,  puto,  certum  est,  &c. :  as, 

ludSs  me  facitis,  intellego,  PI.  Per.  802 ,  you  are  making  game  of  me,  1 
1  m  aware,  narro  tib! :  plane  relegatus  mihl  videor,  Alt.  2,  n,  1,  7  tell 
vou  what,  I  seevi  to  myself  regularly  banished,  spero,  servabit  fidem,  PI.  E. 
[24,  I  hope  he  'll  keep  his  word  (2235). 

1697.  (2.)  The  coordinated  member  may  be  a  direct  question  or  an  ex- 
damation. 

Thus  (a.)  in  enquiries  calling  for  an  answer:  as,  sign!  die  quid  est,  PI. 
Am.  421,  tell  me,  what  is  there  in  the  shape  of  seal?  (1251).  Or  \b.)  in  ejacu- 
ation:  as,  viden  ut  astat  furcifer?  PI.  Most.  1172 ,  seest  how  the  knave  is 
losing  there  ?  videte  quaeso,  quid  potest  pecunia,  PI.  St.  410,  see  pray  how 
ill-commanding  money  is.  This  construction  occurs  oftenest  in  comedy,  and 
with  an  imperative  meaning  say,  tell,  or  look.  The  subordinate  construction 
s  the  rule  :  see  1773. 

1698.  (3.)  The  coordinated  member  rarely  represents  a  relative  sentence 
4816)  :  as, 

urbs  antiqua  fuit,  Tyrii  tenuere  colSni,  V.  1,  12,  there  was  an  ancient 
' own ,  which  Tyrian  settlers  held,  est  locus,  Hesperiam  Gral  cognomine 
iicunt,  V.  1,  530,  there  is  a  place,  the  Greeks  by  name  Hesperia  call,  imitated 
from  est  locus  Hesperiam  quam  mortales  perhibebant,  E.  in  Macrob. 
Sat.  6,  I,  there  is  a  place  which  sons  of  men  Hesperia  called.

ter  of  the  Manilius  law ,  I  went  through  the  ample  material  for  glorification  in

1700.  (5.)  The  coordinated  member  may  be  equivalent  to  a  member

iam  faxo  scies,  T.  Eu.  663,  I'll  let  you  know  at  once,  i.  e.  scias  (1712)  or

The  Intermediate  Coordinate  Sentence .  [1703-1707. 


1703.  (8.)  The  coordinated  member  may  denote  efficient  cause  or  rea¬ 
son  :  as, 

peregrinus  ego  sum,  Sauream  non  novi,  PI.  As.  464,  lam  a  stranger , 
and  I  don' t  know  Saurea.  mulier  es,  audacter  iuras,  PI.  Am.  836,  because 
you  are  a  woman ,  you  are  bold  to  swear,  tacent,  satis  laudant,  T.  Eu.  476, 
their  silence  is  sufficient  praise. 

1704.  (9.)  The  coordinated  member  may  represent  the  protasis  of  a  com¬ 
parative  sentence  with  ut  (1937) :  as, 

ita  me  di  ament,  honestust,  T.  Eu.  474,  so  help  me  heaven ,  he  is  a 
broper  man.  sollicitat,  ita  vivam,  me  tua,  mi  Tiro,  valetudo,  Fain.  16, 20, 
your  health ,  dear  Tiro ,  keeps  me  fidgety ,  as  I  hope  to  live. 


1705.  II.  T  he  subordinate  idea  is  often  indicated  by  the 
subjunctive  of  desire  coordinated  with  another  verb,  usually 
with  one  which  has  a  different  subject. 

Thus,  the  combination  ames :  oportet,  you  should  love  ;  it  is  right  (1547 ), 
in  which  the  two  verbs  are  used  separately,  blends  into  one  whole,  ames 
oportet,  Fin.  2,  35,  it  is  right  you  should  love.  The  verb  with  which  the  sub¬ 
junctive  is  coordinated  specifies  more  exactly  the  general  idea  of  desire  con¬ 
tained  in  the  subjunctive  itself.  The  tense  of  the  coordinate  subjunctive  is 
regulated  by  that  of  the  other  verb. 

1706.  The  negative  employed  with  coordinated  subjunctives  is  the 
adverb  ne,  not. 

Thus,  the  combination  vide:  ne  me  ludas,  see  to  it;  don't  you  fool  me 
(1547),  in  which  the  two  verbs  are  used  separately,  blends  into  one  whole, 
vide  ne  me  ludas,  PI.  Cur.  325,  see  to  it  you  don't  fool  me.  Similarly,  metuo : 
ne  peccet,  /  am  afraid;  let  her  not  slip  up  (154S),  becomes  metuo  ne 
peccet,  PI.  Per.  624,  lam  afraid  she  may  slip  tip.  From  its  frequent  use  in 
sentences  of  subordinate  meaning,  ne  came  at  an  early  period  to  be  regarded 
as  a  subordinating  conjunction  also,  lest ,  that  .  .  .  not ,  as  well  as  an  adverb, 
and  took  the  place  of  the  less  usual  ut  ne.  Hence  members  with  ne  are 
more  conveniently  treated  under  the  head  of  subordination  (1947). 

1707.  (1.)  The  subjunctive  is  often  coordinated  with  verbs  of  wishing. 
Such  are  volo,  nolo,  rarely  mal5,  opto,  placet,  &c. :  as, 

animum  advortas  volo,  PI.  Cap.  388,  I  wish  you  would  pay  heed  (1548). 
quid  vis  faciam  ?  T.  Hau.  846,  what  wilt  thou  I  should  do?  (1563).  vin 
conmutemus  ?  tuam  ego  ducam  et  tu  meam  ?  PI.  Tri.  59,  would  you 
like  to  swap  ?  I  take  your  wife,  and  you  take  mine  ?  ( 1 563).  mal5  te  sapiens 
hostis  metuat,  quam  stulti  cives  laudent,  L.  22,  39,  20,  I  would  rather 
a  wise  enemy  should  fear  you,  than  stupid  fellow-citizens  admire  you  (1548). 
Coordination  is  the  rule  with  velim,  vellem,  & c.,  used  in  the  sense  of 
utinam  ( 1540)  :  as,  de  Menedemo  vellem  verum  fuisset,  de  regina  velim 
verum  sit,  Alt.  15,  4,  4,  about  Menedemus  I  could  \ wish  it  had  been  true ,  about 
the  queen  I  hope  it  may  be  true,  tellus  optem  prius  ima  dehiscat,  V.  4,  24, 
/  would  the  earth  to  deepest  depths  might  sooner  yawn.  L.  Domitius  dixit 
placere  sib!  sententias  de  singulis  ferrent,  Caes.  C.  3,  83,  3,  Domitius  said 
his  view  was  they  should  vote  on  the  men  separately.

1718.  Verbs  which  have  an  implication  of  futurity,  such  as  those  meaning  can , 
ought,  must ,  &c.,  with  an  infinitive,  also  subjunctives  of  wish  (1540)  or  of  exhorta¬ 
tion  (1547),  may  be  called  Virtual  Futures. 

1719.  Sometimes  the  subjunctive  serves  as  a  main  sentence  :  see  1762; 
sometimes  a  noun  of  the  verb  :  see  1766. 


MOOD  OF  THE  SUBORDINATE  SENTENCE. 

1720.  The  indicative  and  the  subjunctive  are  both  used  in  subor¬ 
dinate  sentences,  as  will  be  shown  in  the  treatment  of  the  several 
words  of  subordination.  Some  general  uses  may  be  mentioned  col¬ 
lectively  here. 


THE  INDICATIVE  MOOD. 

1721.  The  indicative  is  ordinarily  used  in  sentences  intro¬ 
duced  by  a  relative  pronoun,  or  by  a  causal  conjunctive  word 
other  than  cum. 

pontem,  qul  erat  ad  Genavam,  iubet  rescindl,  1,  7,  2,  he  orders  the 
bridge  which  was  near  Geneva  torn  up.  concedo,  quia  necesse  est,  RA. 
145,  I  give  up ,  because  I  have  to.  In  sentences  of  this  class,  however,  the 
subjunctive  is  often  required,  particularly  in  indirect  discourse  (1722),  or  in 
cases  of  attraction  (1728). 


THE  SUBJUNCTIVE  MOOD. 

The  Subjunctive  of  Indirect  Discourse  and  of 

Attraction. 

1722.  The  subjunctive  is  used  in  relative,  causal, 
temporal,  and  conditional  sentences  in  indirect  discourse, 
and  in  cases  of  attraction.

M ood  of  the  S  u  b  or  din  a  te  Sen  tence.  [1723-1728. 


1723.  A  direct  quotation  or  question  gives  the  words  of  the  original 
speaker  without  alteration.  When  the  original  words  of  a  quotation  or 
question  are  changed  to  conform  to  the  construction  of  the  sentence  in 
which  they  are  quoted,  it  is  called  Indirect  Discourse. 

1724.  In  the  complete  form  of  indirect  discourse,  the  sub¬ 
junctive  is  subordinate  to  an  infinitive  or  an  accusative  with  the 
infinitive,  dependent  on  a  verb  of  saying  or  thinking  (2175)  :  as, 

negat  Epicurus  iucunde  po§se  vivi,  nisi  cum  virtute  vivatur,  TD. 

3,  49,  Epicurus  avers  there  is  no  living  happily,  without  living  virtuously  ; 

directly,  iucunde  vivi  non  potest,  nisi  cum  virtute  vivitur.  Socrates 
dicere  solebat,  omnes  in  ed  quod  scirent,  satis  esse  eloquentes,  DO. 

1,  63,  Socrates  used  to  maintain  that  all  men  were  eloquent  enough  in  a  matter 

they  knew  ;  directly,  omnes  in  e5  quod  sciunt  satis  sunt  eloquentes. 

1725.  The  idea  of  saying  or  thinking  is  often  not  formally  ex¬ 
pressed  in  the  main  sentence,  and  the  indirect  discourse  is  intimated 
by  the  subordinate  subjunctive  only:  as, 

noctu  ambulabat  in  publics  Themistocles,  quod  somnum  capere 
non  posset,  TD.  4,  44,  Themistocles  used  to  walk  the  streets  nights,  ‘  because  he 
could  not  sleep]  given  as  Themistocles’s  reason  ;  the  writer’s  would  be  pote- 
rat.  Paetus  omnes  libros,  quos  frater  suus  reliquisset,  mihl  donavit, 
Att.  2,  1,  12,  Paetus  made  me  a  present  of  all  the  books  ‘  that  his  brother  had 
left .’  dum  rgliquae  naves  e5  convenirent,  in  ancoris  expectavit,  4,  23, 

4,  he  waited  at  anchor  till  the  rest  of  the  vessels  should  gather  there  (2005). 
pervenit  priusquam  Pompeius  sentire  posset,  Caes.  C.  3,  67,  4,  he  got 
there  before  Pompey  should  be  able  to  learn  of  his  coining  (1919).  Xerxes 
praemium  proposuit,  qui  invenisset  novam  voluptatem,  TD.  5,  20, 
Xerxes  offered  a  reward  to  anybody  who  should  devise  a  new  form  of  entertain¬ 
ment  (2110). 

1726.  A  speaker  or  writer  may  quote  his  own  thoughts  in  the  indirect  form,  like 
another  person’s :  as,  haec  tibi  dictabam  post  fanum  putre  Vacunae,  ex- 
cepto  quod  nSn  simul  esses,  cetera  laetus,  H.  E.  1,  10,  49, 1  write  thee  this 
behind  Vacuna’s  mouldering  pile ,  in  all  else  well,  except  that  thou  'rt  not  here  the 
while  (1601). 

1727.  Instead  of  an  intimation  of  indirect  discourse  by  a  mere  subjunctive,  a  verb 
of  thinking  or  saying  is  sometimes  introduced  by  qui,  or  especially  quod,  sometimes 
by  cum,  and  put  illogically  itself  in  the  subjunctive :  as,  litteras,  quas  me  sib! 
misisse  diceret,  recitavit,  Ph.  2,  7,  he  read  off  a  letter ,  which  he  said  I  sent 
him,  i.e.  quas  misissem.  impetrare  nSn  potui,  quod  reiigione  se  im- 
pediri  dicerent,  Sulpicius  in  Fam.  4,  12,  3,  /  could  not  get  leave,  because  they  said 
they  were  hampered  by  religious  scruple,  i.  e.  quod  impedirentur.  cum  dice¬ 
ret,  DN.  3,  83,  saying  as  he  did.  This  construction  is  common  in  Cicero,  somewhat 
so  in  Caesar,  rare  in  Sallust. 

% 

1728.  The  subjunctive  is  used  in  sentences  expressing  an  essential 
part  of  the  thought,  which  are  subordinate  to  another  subjunctive,  or 
to  an  infinitive.  This  is  called  the  Subjunctive  of  Attraction,  or  oj 
A  ssimilation :  as ,

qul  viverent  exciperes,  TD.  1,  9,  if  you  should  pronounce  only  such  people 
unhappy  as  had  to  die ,  you  would  not  except  one  of  those  who  were  living. 
mos  est  Syracusis,  lit  si  qua  de  re  ad  senatum  referatur,  dicat  senten- 
tiam  qui  velit,  V.  4,  142,  it  is  the  custom  at  Syracuse,  that  if  any  question  is 
discussed  in  the  senate ,  anybody  who  pleases  may  express  his  opinion,  sapiens 
non  dubitat,  si  ita  melius  sit,  migrare  de  vita,  Fin.  1,  62,  the  sage  does  not 
hesitate ,  if  this  be  the  better  course ,  to  withdraw  from  life,  mos  est  Athenis 
laudari  in  contiSne  e5s,  qui  sint  in  proeliis  interfecti,  O.  151,  it  is  the 
custom  in  Athens  to  eulogize  in  public  assembly  such  as  have  fallen  in  action. 

1729.  The  indicative  is  kept  in  subordinate  statements  added  or  vouched 
for  by  the  person  reporting,  and  also  in  circumlocutions  equivalent  to  a 
substantive :  as, 

nuntiatum  est  Ariovistum  ad  occupandum  Vesontionem,  quod  est 
oppidum  maximum  Sequanbrum,  contendere,  1,  38,  1 ,  it  was  reported  that 
A  riovistus  was  pressing  on  to  seize  Vesontio,  which  is  the  most  considerable  town 
of  the  Sequans.  prudentissima  civitas  Atheniensium,  dum  ea  rerum 
potita  est,  fuisse  traditur,  RA.  70,  Athens  is  said  to  have  been  passing  wise, 
as  long  as  she  held  the  hegemony,  vis,  quae  restant,  me  loqui?  T.  Andr. 
195,  wilt  have  me  tell  the  rest?  i.  e.  rSlicua.  fieri  potest,  ut  id  quod  sentit 
polite  eloqui  non  possit,  TD.  1,  6,  it  may  be  that  he  cannot  express  his 
thought  in  polished  style ,  i.  e.  sententiam  suam. 


The  Subjunctive  of  Repeated  Action. 

1730.  The  subjunctive  is  sometimes  used  in  relative,  tem¬ 
poral,  or  conditional  sentences,  to  express  action  repeated  or 
occurring  at  no  particular  time  :  as, 

{a.)  neque  aliter  si  faciat,  ullam  inter  subs  habet  auctbritatem,  6,  ir, 

4,  and  if  he  does  not  do  this ,  he  never  has  any  ascendancy  at  all  over  his  people. 
With  the  present  and  perfect,  however,  this  subjunctive  is  confined  princi¬ 
pally  to  the  indefinite  second  person  singular  (1030) :  as,  bonus  segnior  fit, 
ub!  neglegas,  S.  I.  31,  28,  the  good  man  always  gets  slacker,  when  you  are 
neglectful,  siquoi  mutuom  quid  dederis,  fit  pro  proprio  perditum,  PI.  Tri. 
1050,  if  you've  lent  anything  to  any  man,  't  is  not  your  own,  but  lost,  (b.)  The 
imperfect  and  pluperfect  subjunctive  begin  with  Catullus  and  Caesar,  and 
get  to  be  common  with  Livy  and  Tacitus :  as,  si  quis  prehenderetur, 
consensu  militum  eripiebatur,  Caes.  C.  3,  110,4,  every  time  a  man  was 
taken  up,  he  was  rescued  by  the  joint  action  of  the  rank  and file,  quemcum- 
que  lictor  prendisset,  tribunus  mitti  iubebat,  L.  3,  n,  2,  every  man  the 
lictor  arrested,  a  tribune  would  order  released. 

The  Subjunctive  as  in  the  Simple  Sentence. 

1731.  The  subjunctive  of  wish,  of  action  conceivable,  or  of  inter¬ 
rogation,  is  sometimes  used  in  a  subordinate  sentence  exactly  as  in 
main  sentences  :  as,

TENSE  OF  THE  SUBORDINATE  SENTENCE. 

THE  TENSES  OF  THE  INDICATIVE. 

1732.  I.  The  tense  of  a  subordinate  indicative  often  indicates 
a  close  relation  of  time  with  the  tense  of  the  leading  verb,  par¬ 
ticularly  in  cases  of  repeated  contemporaneous  or  antecedent 
action.  The  subordinate  sentence  in  such  combinations  is  said 
to  have  Relative  time. 

1733.  0-)  The  subordinate  indicative  tense  may  express  ac¬ 
tion  concurrent  with  the  main  action.  Two  concurrent  sentences 
are  usually  put  in  the  same  tense. 

Concurrent  action  is  said  to  be  (a.)  congruent,  when  two  actions  merely 
cover  the  same  time:  as,  dum  leg5,  adsentior,  TD.  1,  24,  as  long  as  1  am 
reading,  I  assent,  dum  necesse  erat,  unus  omnia  poterat,  RA.  139,  so 
long  as  it  had  to  be,  one  man  controlled  the  world,  dum  Latinae  loquentur 
litterae,  quercus  huic  loco  non  deerit,  Leg.  1,  2,  as  long  as  Latin  literature 
has  the  gift  of  speech ,  this  spot  will  not  lack  its  oak.  vixit,  dum  vixit,  bene, 
T.  Idee.  461,  he  lived  well  all  the  time  he  lived,  quoad  potuit,  fortissime 
restitit,  4,  12,  5,  as  long  as  he  could,  he  made  a  manful  stand.  Or  (/;.)  coinci¬ 
dent,  when  one  action  is  virtually  the  same  as  the  other :  as,  cum  tacent, 
clamant,  C.  I,  21,  while  they  are  dumb,  they  cry  out,  i.  e.  their  silence  is  as 
telling  as  a  shout,  fecisti  mih!  pergratum,  quod  SerapiSnis  librum 
misisti,  Att.  2,  4,  1,  you  have  obliged  me  very  much  by  sending  Serapio's  book. 

1734.  (2.)  The  subordinate  indicative  tense  may  express 
action  contemporaneous,  antecedent,  or  subsequent,  in  relation 
to  the  main  action. 

1735.  (a.)  Action  contemporaneous  with  a  main  present  is  ex¬ 
pressed  by  a  present,  with  a  main  future  or  virtual  future,  by  a  future, 
with  a  main  secondary  tense  by  an  imperfect:  as,

yourself  of  hdrologium  mittam,  si  erit  sudum,  Fam.  16,  18,  3,  I  will 
send  the  clock ,  if  it  is  pleasant  (1625).  paulatim  dabis,  si  sapies,  T.  Hau. 
870,  you 'll  give  in  driblets,  if  you  are  wise,  cum  relaxare  animos  volent, 
caveant  intemperantiam,  Off.  1,  122,  when  they  want  to  unbend,  let  them 
beware  of  excess  (1625  ;  1718).  omnia  deerant,  quae  ad  reficiendas  naves 
erant  usui,  4,  29,  4,  they  were  out  of  everything  that  was  serviceable  for  re¬ 
pairing  their  vessels. 

1735.  ( b .)  Action  antecedent  to  a  main  present  is  expressed  by  a 
perfect,  to  a  main  future  or  virtual  future  by  a  future  perfect,  to  a  main 
secondary  tense  by  a  pluperfect:  as, 

quocumque  aspexisti  tuae  tib!  occurrunt  iniuriae,  Par.  18,  wherever 
you  turn  your  gaze,  you  are  confronted  by  your  own  abominable  acts,  cum

all  assent  melts  away  (i860),  quicquid  feceris,  adprobabS,  Fam.  3,  3,  2, 
no  matter  what  you  do,  I  shall  think  it  well  (1626).  ut  quisque  istius  ani- 
mum  offenderat,  in  lautumias  statim  coniciebatur,  V.  5,  14 3,  any  man  that 
wounded  his  sensibilities  was  always  flung  into  the  quarries  without  any  ado. 

1 737 *  O7-)  Action  subsequent  to  a  main  present  is  expressed  by 
the  future  participle  with  a  present  form  of  sum,  to  a  main  future  or 
virtual  future  by  the  future  participle  with  a  future  form  of  sum,  and 
to  a  main  secondary  tense  by  the  future  participle  with  an  imperfect 
form  of  sum  :  as, 

decern  dies  sunt  ante  ludos,  qu5s  Cn.  Pompeius  facturus  est,  V. 

a.  pr.  31,  there  are  ten  days  before  the  shows  which  Pompey  is  to  manage. 

attentds  faciemus,  si  demSnstrabimus  ea,  quae  dicturi  erimus,  magna 
esse,  Inv.  1,  23,  we  shall  make  people  attentive  if  we  show  that  what  we  are 
going  to  say  is  important,  rex,  quia  non  interfuturus  navali  certamini 
erat,  Magnesiam  concessit,  L.  36,  43,  9,  as  the  king  was  not  to  have  a  hand 
in  the  action  at  sea,  he  moved  of  to  Magnesia. 

1738.  II.  A  subordinate  indicative  tense  is  said  to  be  Inde¬ 
pendent  when  it  simply  expresses  time  of  its  own,  without  any 
close  relation  to  the  time  of  the  main  action. 

Such  independent  tenses  may  denote  general  present  action  :  as,  ibam 
forte  via  sacra,  sicut  meus  est  mos,  H.  S.  1,  9,  1,  in  Sacred  Street,  as  is 
my  wont,  I  happened  to  be  promenading  (relatively,  erat  mos,  1735).  non 
me  appellabis,  si  sapis,  PI.  Most.  515,  you  won’t  address  me,  if  you  have 
sense  (relatively,  si  sapies,  1735).  Or  past  action,  either  continuous,  com¬ 
pleted,  or  indefinite :  as,  ut  mos  fuit  Bithyniae  regibus,  lectica  fereba- 
tur,  V.  5,  27,  he  regularly  rode  in  a  litter,  as  was  the  practice  of  the  despots  of 
Bithynia;  here  fuit  denotes  action  simply  as  past,  without  further  definition 
of  time  (1603),  whereas  erat,  relative  to  the  time  of  ferebatur,  would  imply 
which  was  then  the  practice  (1595). 

1739.  With  dum,  in  the  time  while,  an  independent  present  is  used:  see 
1995.  With  postquam,  &c.,  after ,  an  independent  perfect  is  used  of  a  single 
action;  see  1925.

THE  TENSES  OF  THE  SUBJUNCTIVE. 

1740.  Subordinate  subjunctive  sentences  were  originally  independent 
coordinate  sentences,  in  the  tense  required  to  express  the  thought.  By 
degrees  the  subordinate  sentence  blended  closely  with  the  main  sentence, 
qnd  the  combination  of  the  two  was  regarded  as  one  whole. 

1741.  I.  The  time  of  the  subordinate  subjunctive  is  usually 
Relative ,  that  is  either  contemporaneous,  antecedent,  or  subse¬ 
quent,  in  relation  to  that  of  the  main  action. 

1742.  Action  contemporaneous  with  the  main  action  is  expressed 
yy  a  present  or  imperfect  subjunctive.  Action  antecedent  is  expressed 
jy  a  perfect  or  a  pluperfect  subjunctive.  Action  subsequent  is  ex- 
oressed  by  the  future  participle  with  a  form  of  sim  or  of  essem. 

1743.  Subordinate  sentences  with  verbs  of  will  or  aim,  with  verbs  of  fear,  also  final 
sentences  and  many  consecutive  sentences  are  expressed  in  Latin  as  contemporaneous 
vith  the  main  action,  not  as  subsequent  to  it. 

1744.  11.  The  main  and  subordinate  sentences  may  express 
wholly  different  spheres  of  time  by  tenses  not  commonly  used  to¬ 
gether,  when  the  thought  requires  it.  In  such  cases  the  tense  of  the 
subordinate  member  is  called  Independent ,  like  the  analogous  tenses 
3f  the  indicative  (1738). 

1745.  The  use  of  subordinate  subjunctive  tenses  relatively  to  the  main 
:ense,  or  what  is  commonly  called  the  Sequence  of  Tenses,  is  as  follows  : 

Tense  subordinate  to  an  Indicative. 

1746.  (1.)  The  present,  or  perfect  subjunctive,  or 
the  future  participle  with  a  form  of  sim,  is  used  in 
sentences  subordinate  to  a  primary  tense  (1717):  as, 

[a.)  te  hortor,  ut  Roraam  pergas,  QFr.  1,  3,  4,  I  urge  you  to  repair  to 
Rome,  cura,  ut  quam  primum  venias,  Fam.  4,  10,  1,  mind  that  you  come 
is  soon  as  you  can.  ego  quid  acceperim  scio,  RA.  58,  I  know  what  I  have 
received,  quam  sum  sollicitus  quidnam  futurum  sit,  Att.  8,  6,  3,  host) 
mxious  I  am  to  know  what  in  the  so  or  Id  is  to  come.  (Ik)  in  eum  locum  res 
deducta  est  ut  salvi  esse  nequeamus,  Fam.  16,  12,  1,  to  sttch  a  pass  has  it 
:ome  that  we  camiot  be  saved,  an  oblitus  es  quid  initio  dixerim  ?  DN. 
2,  2,  have  you  possibly  forgotten  what  I  said  at  the  start  ?  quoniam  in  earn 
rationem  vitae  n5s  fortuna  deduxit,  ut  sempiternus  sermo  de  nobis 
uturus  sit,  caveamus,  QFr.  1,  1,  38,  since  fortune  has  set  us  in  such  a 
walk  of  life  that  we  are  to  be  eternally  talked  about,  let  us  be  o>i  our  guard, 
[c.)  efficiam,  ut  intellegatis,  Clu.  7,  I  will  see  that  you  tinderstand.  dicent 
quid  statuerint,  V.  2,  175,  they  will  tell  what  they  decided  on.  quae  fuerit

or  the  future  participle  with  a  form  of  essem,  is  used 
in  sentences  subordinate  to  a  secondary  tense  (171 7)  : 
as, 

(<7. )  his  rebus  fiebat,  ut  minus  late  vagarentur,  i,  2,  4,  so  it  came  to  pass 
that  they  did  not  roam  round  much,  docebat,  ut  tdtius  Galliae  principa- 
tum  Aedui  tenuissent,  1,  43,  6,  he  showed  how  the  Aeduans  had  had  the 
mastery  over  all  Gaul.  Flaccus  quid  alii  postea  facturi  essent  scire  non 
poterat,  FI.  33,  Flaccus  could  not  tell  what  other  people  would  do  in  the  future, 
(h.)  is  civitati  persuasit,  ut  de  finibus  suis  cum  omnibus  copiis  exirent, 
I,  2,  1,  this  man  prevailed  on  his  community  to  emigrate  from  their  place  of 
abode ,  bag  and  baggage,  quas  res  in  Hispania  gessisset,  disseruit,  L.  28, 
38,  2,  he  discoursed  on  his  military  career  i7i  Spam,  an  Lacedaemonii 
quaesiverunt  num  se  esset  mori  prohibiturus?  TD.  5,  42,  did  the  Spar-  \ 
tans  ask  whether  he  was  going  to  prevent  them  from  dying  ?  [c.)  Ariovistus 

tantos  sib!  spiritus  sumpserat,  ut  ferendus  non  videretur,  1,  33,  5,  Ario¬ 
vistus  had  put  on  such  high  and  mighty  airs  that  he  seemed  intolerable,  hie

consulem  interfecerat,  1,  12,5 ,  this  canton,  sallying  out  from  home  in  our 
fathers  recollection,  had  put  Cassius,  the  consul ,  to  death,  illud  quod  mihi 
extremum  proposueram,  cum  essem  de  belli  genere  dicturus,  IP.  17,  the 
point  I  had  reserved  till  the  end,  when  I  was  going  to  discourse  on  the  character 
of  the  war. 

1748.  With  any  kind  of  a  secondary  main  sentence,  a  subordinate  general 
truth  usually  stands  in  the  past,  contrary  to  the  English  idiom:  as, 

hie  cogndsci  licuit,  quantum  esset  hominibus  praesidii  in  animi 
firmitudine,  Caes.  C.  3,  28,  4,  here  there  was  a  chance  to  learn  what  a  bulwark 
man  has  in  courage.  In  the  direct  form  est  (1588). 

1749.  A  subsequent  relation  is  sometimes  loosely  suggested  by  a  simple  subjunc-  - 
tive;  necessarily  so  with  verbs  which  lack  the  future  participle,  or  which  are  in  the 
passive:  as,  sum  sollicitus  quidnam  de  prSvinciis  decernatur,  Fain.  2,  11,  ! 
1,  I  ant  anxious  to  see  what  in  the  world  may  be  decided  on  about  the  provinces. 

1750.  In  a  single  example,  a  future  perfect  of  resulting  state  is  represented  in 
subordination  as  follows  :  nec  dubito  quin  confecta  iam  res  futura  sit,  Fam. 
6,  12,  ■},  and  I  have  no  doubt  the  job  will  soon  be  completely  finished  up,  directly, 
sine  dubiS  confecta  iam  res  erit. 

1751.  (1.)  An  imperfect  subjunctive  expressing  a  particular  past  result, 
cause,  reason,  & c.,  is  sometimes  connected  with  a  main  general  present  tense 
(1744)  :  as, 

cuius  praecepti  tanta  vis  est,  ut  ea  DelphicS  de5  tribueretur,  Leg. 

1,  58,  the  power  of  this  rule  is  so  mighty  that  it  was  ascribed  to  the  Delphic  god. 
cuius  r€i  tanta  est  vis,  ut  Ithacam  illam  sapientissimus  vir  immortali- 
tati  anteponeret,  DO.  1,  196,  so  irresistible  is  the  pozver  of  this  sentiment  that 
the  shrewdest  of  men  loved  his  little  Ithaca  better  than  life  eternal ;  of  Ulixes. 
laudantur  oratores  veteres  quod  crimina  diluere  dilucide  solerent,  V. 

2,  191,  the  orators  of  old  are  admired  ‘  because  they  were  always  clear  in  ex¬ 
plaining  accusations  away.’  The  secondary  sequence  is  also  sometimes  ex¬ 
ceptionally  used  with  ordinary  presents.

Tense  of  the  Subordinate  Sentence.  [1752-1756. 


1752.  (2.)  The  present  of  vivid  narration  is  commonly  regarded 
as  a  secondary  tense,  especially  when  the  subordinate  sentence  pre¬ 
cedes,  and  regularly  with  narrative  cum.  Sometimes  however  as  a 
primary  tense  :  as, 

(a.)  servls  suis  Rubrius,  ut  ianuam  clauderent,  imperat,  V.  i,  66, 

Rubrias  orders  his  slaves  to  shut  the  front  door.  Aedui,  cum  se  defendere 
non  possent,  legatos  ad  Caesarem  mittunt,  i,  n,  2,  the  A eduans,  finding 
they  could  not  defend  themselves ,  send  some  envoys  to  Caesar .  (b.j  hortatur, 
ut  arma  capiant,  7,  4,  4,  he  urges  them  to  fly  to  arms.  Sometimes  the  two 
sequences  stand  side  by  side,  or  a  subjunctive  of  primary  sequence  has  itself 
a  second  subordinate  subjunctive  of  secondary  sequence.  Either  sequence 
is  used  with  the  present  of  quotation  also  (1592). 

1753.  (3  )  Subordinate  sentences  of  past  action  conceivable,  of  action 
non-occurrent,  or  dubitative  questions  of  the  past,  retain  their  past  unchanged 
with  a  main  primary  tense  :  as, 

(a.)  veri  simile  n5n  est,  ut  ille  monumentis  maiorum  pecuniam 
anteponeret,  V.  4,  n,  it  is  not  conceivable  that  the  man  would  have  thought 
more  of  money  than  of  his  heirlooms ,  i.  e.  non  antepdneret  (1559).  [b.)  om¬ 

nia  sic  erunt  inlustria,  ut  ad  ea  probanda  totam  Siciliam  testem  ad- 
hibere  possem,  V.  5,  139,  everything  will  be  so  self-evident,  that  I  could  use 
all  Sicily  as  a  witness  to  prove  it  (1560).  taceo,  ne  haec  quidem  conligo, 
quae  fortasse  valerent  apud  iudicem,  Lig.  30,  I'll  hold  my  tongue ,  I  won't 
even  gather  together  the  Jollowing  arguments ,  which  might  perhaps  be  telling 
with  a  juryman  (1560).  (c.)  quaero  a  te  cur  C.  Cornelium  non  defen¬ 

der  em,  Vat.  5,  I  put  the  question  to  you,  why  I  was  not  to  defend  Cornelius 

(1563)- 

1754.  A  final  subjunctive  subordinate  to  a  perfect  definite  some¬ 
times  has  the  primary  sequence,  but  more  commonly  the  secondary  : 
as, 

(a.)  etiamne  ad  subsellia  cum  ferro  venistis,  ut  hie  iuguletis  Sex. 
Roscium  ?  RA.  32,  have  you  actually  come  to  the  court-room  knife  in  hand, 
to  cut  Roscius's  throat  on  the  spot  ?  (b.)  ne  ignoraretis  esse  aliquas  pacis 

vobis  condiciones,  ad  ves  veni,  L.  21,  13,  2,  /  have  ccme  to  you  to  let  you 
know  that  you  have  some  chances  of  peace,  adduxi  hominem  in  qub  satis 
facere  exteris  nationibus  possetis,  V.  a.  fr.  2,  I  have  brought  up  a  man  in 
whose  person  you  can  give  satisfaction  to  foreign  nations. 

1 755.  An  independent  present  or  perfect  subjunctive  is  sometimes 
exceptionally  put  with  a  main  secondary  tense  (1744)  : 

3:756.  (1.)  In  relative,  causal,  or  concessive  sentences  :  as, 

cum  in  ceteris  coloniis  duumviri  appellentur,  hi  se  praetores  appel- 
lari  volebant,  Agr.  2,  93,  though  they  are  styled  in  all  other  colonies  ll he  7 wo, 
these  men  wanted  to  be  styled  praetors,  qui  adulescens  nihil  umquam  nisi 
severissime  et  gravissime  fecerit,  is  ea  aetate  saltavit  ?  D.  27,  did  the 
man  who  in  his  growing  years  invariably  behaved  with  austere  propriety,  dance 
and  caper  round  in  his  old  age  ?  hoc  toto  proelio  cum  ab  hora  septima  ad 
vesperum  pugnatum  sit,  aversum  hostem  videre  nemo  potuit,  1,  26,  2, 
during  the  whole  of  this  engagement,  though  the  fighting  went  on  from  an  hour 
past  noon  till  ez'eniug,  nobody  could  catch  a  glimpse  of  an  enemy's  back.

1757-  (2.)  I  n  consecutive  sentences:  as, 

(a.)  in  provincia  Sicilia,  quam  iste  per  triennium  ita  vexavit,  ut  ea 
restitui  in  antiquum  statum  null5  modo  possit,  V.  a.  pr.  12,  in  the  prov¬ 
ince  of  Sicily,  which  the  defendant  so  effectually  tormented  three  years  running 
that  it  cannot  be  restored  at  all  to  its  original  estate,  priores  ita  regnarunt, 
ut  omnes  conditores  partium  certe  urbis  numerentur,  L.  2,  i,  2,  such 
was  the  administration  of  the  monarchs  preceding ,  that  they  are  all  accounted 
founders  of  parts  at  least  of  Rome,  (b.)  The  perfect  subjunctive  sometimes 
represents  the  time  of  the  perfect  definite  :  as,  tantum  in  aerarium  pecu¬ 
niae  invexit,  ut  unlus  imperatdris  praeda  finem  attulerit  tributorum, 
Off.  2,  76,  he  conveyed  such  quantities  of  money  into  the  treasury,  that  the  plun¬ 
der  turned  in  by  a  single  commander  has  put  an  end  to  tribute  for  good  and  all. 
eo  usque  se  praebebat  patientem  atque  impigrum,  ut  eum  nemo  um- 
quam  in  equo  sedentem  viderit,  V.  5,  27,  he  showed  himself  so  indefatigably 
active  that  no  human  being  has  ever  seen  him  astride  a  horse.  Sometimes  the 
time  of  the  historical  perfect :  as,  temporis  tanta  fuit  exiguitas,  ut  ad 
galeas  induendas  tempus  defuerit,  2,  21,  5,  so  scant  was  the  time  that  they 
had  not  time  to  put  their  helmets  on.  hie  ita  quievit,  ut  ed  tempore  omni 
Neapoli  fuerit,  Sull.  17,  this  man  held  so  quiet  that  he  staid  all  that  time 
at  Neapolis.  In  Cicero  a  negative  subordinate  perfect  is  not  uncommon ;  an 
affirmative  one  is  very  rare.  This  construction  is  more  common  in  Nepos, 
Livy,  and  Tacitus,  and  is  the  prevalent  one  in  Suetonius. 

1758.  The  imperfect  only  is  used  in  complementary  sentences  with  past  verbs  of 
happening,  such  as  accidit,  contigit,  &c.  (1966). 

1759-  When  two  consecutive  subjunctives  are  coordinated,  they  usually  have  the 
same  tense.  Sometimes  however  the  first  is  perfect  and  the  second  imperfect,  or  the 
reverse. 

1760.  (3.)  An  indirect  question  in  the  present  or  perfect  sometimes 
retains  its  original  tense  with  a  main  secondary  tense  (1744)  :  as, 

hie  quantum  in  bello  fortuna  possit,  cbgnosci  potuit,  6,  35,  2,  here 

there  zuas  a  chance  to  see  how  potent  dame  Fortune  is  in  war.  Here  possit 
represents  potest  of  a  general  truth  (1588) ;  but  usually  general  truths  have 
the  regular  sequence  (1748).  cur  abstinuerit  spectaciilS  ipse,  varie  trahe- 
bant,  Ta.  1,  76,  why  the  emperor  did  not  go  to  the  show,  they  accowited for  in 
this  way  and  that,  representing  cur  abstinuit  ?  quo  c5nsili5  redierim 
initid  audistis,  post  estis  expert!,  Ph.  10,  8,  what  my  idea  zuas  in  coming 
back,  you.  learned  first  by  hearsay ,  afterwards  by  personal  observation,  repre¬ 
senting  qu5  consilib  redii? 

1761.  The  subordinate  subjunctive  has  sometimes  the  sequence  of  the  nearest 
verb,  instead  of  that  of  its  proper  verb:  as,  curavit,  quod  semper  in  re  publica 
tenendum  est,  ne  plurimum  valeant  plQrimi,  RP.  2,  39,  he  arranged  it  so, 
a  point  which  is  always  to  be  held  fast  in  government,  that  the  greatest  number  may 
not  have  the  greatest  power. 


Tense  subordinate  to  a  Subjunctive. 

1762.  When  the  leading  verb  is  a  subjunctive,  the  present  is  re¬ 
garded  as  primary,  and  the  imperfect  and  pluperfect  as  secondary  : 
as,

uturum  sit  sciam,  Alt.  5,  12,  2,  I  am  expecting  a  letter  of  a  kind  to  let  me 
mow  not  what  is  going  on,  but  what  will  be  going  on.  quid  profecerim  facias 
ne  velim  certiorem,  Fam.  7,  10,  3,  how  far  I  have  succeeded  I  wish  you

et,  Fin.  1,  27,  what  would  prevent  me  from  being  an  Epicurean ,  if  I  accepted 
chat  he  said?  quae  si  bis  bina  quot  essent  didicisset  Epicurus,  certe

een  taught  how  much  twice  two  is  (1748). 

1763.  An  imperfect  subjunctive  of  action  non-occurrent  at  the  present  time  has 
occasionally  the  present  sequence:  as,  mirareris,  si  interesses,  qua  patientia 
raletudinem  toleret,  Blin.  Ep.  1,  22,  7,  you  would  be  amazed  to  find ,  if  you 
t fere  with  him ,  with  what  dogged  endurance  he  bears  up  under  his  illness.  But  the 
econdary  sequence  is  far  more  common. 

1764.  (1.)  The  perfect  subjunctive  in  independent  main  sentences  of  pro- 
libition  (1551)  or  of  action  conceivable  (1558)  is  regarded  as  a  primary 
ense  :  as, 

ne  dubitaris  quin  id  mihl  futurum  sit  antiquius,  Att.  7,  3,  2,  don't 
ntertain  any  doubt  that  this  course  will  be  preferable  in  my  eyes,  quid  n5n 
lit  citius  quam  quid  sit  dixerim,  DN.  1,  60,  /  could  sooner  tell  what  is  not, 
han  what  is. 

1765.  (2.)  In  subordinate  sentences,  the  perfect  subjunctive  has  the  main 
iequence  -when  it  represents  the  indicative  perfect  definite,  and  the  secondary 
vhen  it  represents  the  indicative  historical  perfect  or  the  imperfect :  as, 

(a.)  nemd  fere  vestrum  est,  quin,  quem  ad  modum  captae  sint  Sy- 
"acusae  saepe  audierit,  V.  4,  115,  there  is  hardly  a  man  of  your  number  but

hat  you  sjispected  what  you  write,  /  can  t  imagine. 


Tense  subordinate  to  a  Noun  of  the  Verb. 

1766.  (1.)  A  subjunctive  subordinate  to  one  of  the  nouns  of  the 
rerb,  except  the  perfect  infinitive  or  the  perfect  participle,  follows  the 
sequence  of  the  verb  :  as, 

desind  quaerere  cur  emeris,  V.  4,  10,  /  cease  to  ask  why  you  bought. 
leminem  tarn  amentem  fore  putaverunt,  ut  emeret  argentum,  V.  4,  9,

1767.  (2.)  With  a  perfect  infinitive  or  perfect  participle,  the  subordinate 
subjunctive  may  be  in  the  imperfect  or  pluperfect,  even  with  a  primary 
leading  verb :  as, 

satis  mihl  multa  verba  fecisse  videor,  qua  re  esset  hoc  bellum 
necessarium,  IP.  27,  I  fancy  I  have  said  enough  to  shozu  why  this  war

question  that  has  often  been  put ,  whether  it  was  better  to  vote  secretly  or  openly. 

1768.  The  sequence  with  a  perfect  infinitive  is,  however,  often  primary :  as,  hie 
si  finem  faciam  dicendi,  satis  iudici  fecisse  videar  cur  secundum 
RSscium  iudicari  debeat,  PC.  14,  if  I  should  stop  speaking  here,  I  should  feel 
I  had  made  it  plain  enough  to  the  court  why  a  judgement  should  be  rendered  for

1769.  The  secondary  sequence  is  used  with  meminl,  remember ,  even  when  it 
has  the  present  infinitive  (2220):  as,  L.  Metellum  memini  ita  bonis  esse 
viribus  extremo  tempore  aetatis,  ut  adulescentiam  non  requireret, 

CM.  30,  I  can  remember  Metellus's  being  so  good  and  strong  in  the  very  last  part  of

1770.  Sentences  with  a  subjunctive  due  to  another  subjunc¬ 
tive  or  to  an  infinitive  are  put  as  follows  : 

1771.  (1.)  Sentences  of  relative  time  express  contemporaneous, 
antecedent,  and  subsequent  action  like  corresponding  indicative  sen¬ 
tences,  with  the  appropriate  sequence  :  as, 

vereor,  ne,  dum  minuere  velim  laborem,  augeam,  Leg.  1,  12,  Iain

venerit,  paucis  diebus  esse  mortuus,  Clu.  175,  he  is  said  to  have  died  a 
few  days  after  he  came  (1739).  (b.)  cognSvit  Suebos,  postea  quam  p5n- 

tem  fieri  comperissent,  nuntios  in  omnes  partes  dimisisse,  4,  19,  2,  he 
ascertained  that  after  the  Suebans  had  learned  of  the  building  of  the  bridge ,  they 
had  sent  out  messengers  in  every  direction. 


THE  INDIRECT  QUESTION. 

1773.  The  subjunctive  is  used  in  indirect  questions 
or  exclamations. 

Thus,  when  the  direct  question,  qui  scis,  hoiv  do  you  know  ?  is  subor¬ 
dinated  to  a  main  sentence,  such  as  quaero,  I  ask,  the  scis  becomes  scias  : 
quaero  qui  scias,  PA.  59,  I  ask  how  you  know.  Questions  or  exclamations 
thus  subordinated  are  called  Indirect  (1723).  In  English,  indirect  questions 
are  usually  characterized  simply  by  the  position  of  the  words,  the  subject 
standing  before  the  verb. 

1774.  The  indirect  question  is  one  of  the  commonest  of  constructions. 
It  depends  on  verbs  or  expressions  meaning  not  only  ask,  but  also  tell,  inform, 
ascertain,  see ,  hear,  know,  consider,  deliberate,  doubt ,  wonder,  fear,  &c.,  &c. 

Yes  or  No  Questions. 

I775*  Indirect  Yes  or  No  questions  are  introduced  by  the  same 
interrogative  particles  that  are  used  in  direct  questions  (1503).  But 
in  indirect  questions,  num  and  -lie  are  used  without  any  essential 
difference,  in  the  sense  of  whether ,  if.  nonne  is  used  thus  only  by 
Cicero,  and  by  him  only  with  quaero  :  as, 

quaeris  num  disertus  sit  ?  Plane.  62,  do  you  ask  whether  he  is  a  good 
speaker  ?  quaesivi  cSgnosceretne  slgnum,  C.  3,  10,  I  asked  if  he  recognized 
the  seal.  quaerS  nonne  tibi  faciendum  idem  sit,  Fin.  3,  13,  I  ask  whether 
you  ought  not  to  do  the  same,  videte  num  dubitandum  vobls  sit,  IP.  19, 
consider  whether  you  ought  to  have  any  hesitation. 

1776.  T  he  combinations  -ne  .  .  .  -ne,  and  an  .  .  .  an,  introducing  two  sepa¬ 
rate  questions,  are  rare;  -ne  .  .  .  -ne  is  mostly  confined  to  poetry.  In  a  few 
instances  such  questions  can  hardly  be  distinguished  from  alternatives. 

1777.  A  conditional  protasis  with  si,  if,  to  see  if,  or  si  fSrte,  if  perchance,  some¬ 
times  takes  the  place  of  an  indirect  question  in  expressions  or  implications  of  trial, 
hope,  or  expectation  :  as,  Ib5,  vlsam  si  domlst,  T.  Han.  170,  I'll  go  and  see  if 
he 's  at  home.  Usually  with  the  subjunctive:  as,  exspectabam,  si  quid  scribe- 
res,  Att.  16,  2,  4,  /  was  waiting  to  see  whether  you  would  write  anything,  cir- 
cumfunduntur  hostes,  si  quern  aditum  reperlre  possent,  6,  37,  4,  the 
enemy  came  streaming  round ,  to  see  if  they  could  find  ary  way  of  getting  in.

Alternative  Questions. 

1778.  Indirect  alternative  questions  are  introduced  like  direct 
questions  (1519).  But  when  the  second  member  is  negative,  it  has 
oftener  necne  than  an  non  :  as, 

hoc  quaeramus,  verum  sit  an  falsum,  Clu.  124,  let  us  ask  this  question, 
whether  it  is  true  or  false,  quaesivl  a  Catilina  in  conventu  fuisset,  necne, 
C.  2,  13,  I  asked  Catiline  whether  he  had  been  at  the  meeting  or  not.  permul- 
tum  interest  utrum  perturbatione  animi,  an  consults  flat  iniuria,  Off.  1, 
27,  it  makes  a  vast  difference  \ whether  wrong  be  done  in  heat  of  passion,  or 
with  deliberate  intent.  quaerd,  eum  Brutine  similem  mails  an  Antonii, 
Ph.  10,  5,  I  ask  whether  you  would  rather  have  him  like  Brutus  or  like 
A  ntony. 

1779.  An  introductory  utrum  preceding  an  alternative  question  with  -ne  and 
an  occurs  a  few  times  in  Plautus  and  Cicero;  utrumne  .  .  .  an  occurs  once  in 
Cicero,  and  twice  in  Horace  and  Tacitus  each;  compare  1522.  After  utrum,  a  sec¬ 
ond  alternative  is  sometimes  suppressed,  as  in  the  direct  question  (1523). 

1780.  -ne  in  the  second  member  only  of  an  alternative  question  is  rare,  and  not 
used  by  Caesar  or  Sallust:  as,  sine  sciam  captlva  materne  sim,  L.  2,40,  5, 

let  me  know  whether  1  am  a  captive  or  a  mother. 

1781.  (1.)  A  few  times  in  Plautus  and  Terence,  the  second  member  only  of  an 
alternative  question  is  expressed  with  qui  scid  an  ?  or  qui  scls  an  ?  equivalent  to 
perhaps:  as,  qui  scis  an  quae  iubeam  faciat  ?  T.  Eu.  790,  perhaps  she' ll  do 
as  I  direct.  Horace  has  once  qui  scis  an,  AP.  462,  in  the  sense  of  perhaps,  and 
once  quis  scit  an,  4,  7,  17,  in  the  sense  of  perhaps  not. 

1782.  (2.)  The  second  member  only  of  an  alternative  question  is  often 
expressed  after  haud  sci5  an,  I  don't  know  but,  possibly,  perhaps,  with  non, 
nemo,  nullus,  &c.,  if  the  sentence  is  negative  :  as, 

haud  scio  an  fieri  possit,  V.  3,  162,  I  don't  know  but  it  is  possible.  Simi¬ 
larly,  though  not  often,  with  nescib  an,  haud  sciam  an,  dubito  an,  du- 
bitarim  an,  dubium  an,  incertum  an,  &c. :  as,  eloquentia  nesciS  an 
habuisset  parem  neminem,  Br.  126,  in  oratory  I  fancy  he  would  have  had 
no  peer.  This  use,  in  which  haud  sci5  an  becomes  adverbial,  and  the 
subjunctive  approaches  closely  that  of  modest  assertion,  is  principally  con¬ 
fined  to  Cicero.  In  later  Latin,  haud  sci5  an,  &c.,  sometimes  has  a  negative 
sense,  I  don't  know  whether,  with  ullus,  & c. 

1783-  From  Curtius  on,  an  is  used  quite  like  num  or  -ne,  in  a  single  indirect 
question,  without  implication  of  alternatives. 

1784.  Two  alternatives  are  rarely  used  without  any  interrogative  particles  at  all : 
as,  velit  nolit  scire  difficile  est,  QFr.  3,  8,  4,  will  he  nill  he,  it  is  hard  to  know, 
i.  e.  whether  he  will  or  not.  Compare  1518. 

Pronoun  Questions. 

i78S-  Indirect  pronoun  questions  are  introduced  by  the  same  pro¬ 
nominal  words  that  are  used  in  direct  pronoun  questions  (1 526) :  as, 

cognoscit,  quae  gerantur,  5,  4S,  2,  he  ascertains  what  is  going  on.  vide- 
tis  ut  omnes  despiciat,  KA.  135,  you  can  see  hcnu  he  looks  dozun  on  everybody. 
quid  agas  et  ut  te  oblectes  scire  cupio,  QFr.  2,  3,  7,  / am  eager  to  know 
how  you  do  and  how  you  are  amusing  yourself . 

290 


The  Indirect  Question .  [1786-1791. 


Original  Subjunctives. 

1786.  Questions  already  in  the  subjunctive  may  also  become  indi¬ 
rect. 

Thus,  quo  me  vertam  ?  V.  5,  2,  which  way  shall  I  turn?  (1563)  be¬ 
comes  indirect  in  quo  me  vertam  nescio,  Clu.  4,  I  don't  know  which  way  1 
am  to  turn,  quid  faciam  ?  H.  S.  2,  1,  24,  zvhat  shall  I  do?  (1563)  becomes 
indirect  in  quid  faciam,  praescribe,  H.  S.  2,  1,  5,  lay  down  the  law ,  what 
I'm  to  do.  neque  satis  constabat  quid  agerent,  3,  14,  3,  and  it  was  not  at 
all  clear  zvhat  they  had  best  do.  dubitavi  hosce  homines  emerem  an  non 
emerem,  PI.  Cap.  455,  I  had  my  doubts,  whether  to  buy  these  men  or  not  to 
buy  (i 564). 


Indicative  Questions  apparently  Indirect. 

1787.  In  old  Latin,  the  indicative  occurs  often  in  connections 
where  the  subjunctive  would  be  used  in  classical  Latin  :  as, 

die,  quis  est,  PI.  B.  558,  say,  who  is  it?  whereas  die  quis  sit  would 
mean  say  who  it  is.  In  such  cases  the  question  is  not  subordinate,  but  co¬ 
ordinate,  usually  with  an  imperative  (1697),  or  with  some  such  expression 
as  te  rogo,  void  scire,  sem,  or  the  like.  Such  coordination  occurs  excep¬ 
tionally  in  the  classical  period:  as,  et  vide,  quam  conversa  res  est,  Att. 
8,  13,  2,  and  observe,  how  everything  is  changed,  adspice,  ut  ingreditur,  V. 
6,  856,  see,  how  he  marches  off. 

1788.  The  indicative  is  used  with  nescio  followed  by  a  pronominal 
interrogative,  when  this  combination  is  equivalent  to  an  indefinite 
pronoun  or  adverb  :  as, 

prodit  nescio  quis,  T.  Ad.  635,  there's  some  one  coming  out.  This  is 
a  condensed  form  for  prodit  nescio  quis  sit,  there 's  corning  out  I  don't  know 
zvho  it  is,  the  real  question,  sit,  being  suppressed,  and  nescio  quis  acquiring 
the  meaning  of  aliquis,  somebody.  Similarly  nescio  with  unde,  ub!,  quando, 
quot,  &c.,  in  writers  of  all  ages.  Plautus  uses  sci5  quid,  scio  ut,  &c., 
somewhat  in  this  way  once  or  twice  with  the  indicative  :  as,  scio  quid  ago, 
B.  78,  I'm  doing  I  know  what. 

1789.  This  combination  often  expresses  admiration,  contempt,  or  regret :  as,  con¬ 
tends  turn  illud  nescio  quid  praeclarum  solere  existere,  Arch.  16,  I 
maintain  that  in  such  a  combination  the  beau  ideal  of  perfection  always  bursts  into 
being,  paulum  nescio  quid,  RA.  n^,  an  unconsidered  trifle,  divisa  est 
sententia,  postulante  nescio  quo,  Mil.  14.  the  question  was  divided,  on  mo¬ 
tion  of  what ' s  his  name,  nescio  quo  paetd,  C.  31,  ten fortunately. 

1790.  The  indicative  is  used  in  like  manner  with  many  expressions,  originally 
exclamatory,  which  have  become  adverbs  :  such  are  immane  quantum,  prodi¬ 
giously ,  mirum  quantum,  wonderfully,  sane  quam,  immensely,  &c.,  &c.  See 
712  and  the  dictionary. 

1791.  Relative  constructions  often  have  the  appearance  of  indirect  questions,  and 
care  must  be  taken  not  to  confound  the  two.  Thus,  ut  is  a  relative  in  hanc  rem, 
Ut  factast,  eloquar,  PI.  Am.  1129,  /’//  tell  this  thing  as  it  occurred,  i.  e.  not  how 
it  occurred,  nosti  quae  sequuntur,  TD.  4,  77,  you  know  the  things  that  follow , 
i.  e.  not  what  follows.

1 792— 1 798.]  Sentences:  The  Subordinate  Sentence. 


THE  RELATIVE  SENTENCE. 

1792.  Relative  sentences  are  introduced  by  relative  words,  the 
most  important  of  which  is  the  pronoun  qui,  who ,  which ,  or  that.  The 
relative  pronoun  may  be  in  any  case  required  by  the  context,  and  may 
represent  any  of  the  three  persons. 

1793.  The  relative  adverbs,  ub!,  quo,  unde,  often  take  the  place  of  a  relative 
pronoun  with  a  preposition,  chiefly  in  designations  of  place,  and  regularly  with  town 
and  island  names.  Less  frequently  of  persons,  though  unde  is  not  uncommonly  thus 
used. 

1794.  In  a  wider  sense,  sentences  introduced  by  any  relative  conjunctive  particle, 
such  as  ub!,  -when ,  are  sometimes  called  relative  sentences.  Such  sentences,  however, 
are  more  conveniently  treated  separately,  under  the  head  of  the  several  conjunctive 
particles. 

1795.  (1.)  The  relative  pronoun,  like  the  English  relative  who,  which, 
was  developed  from  the  interrogative.  Originally,  the  relative  sentence  pre¬ 
cedes,  and  the  main  sentence  follows,  just  as  in  question  and  answer. 

Thus,  quae  mutat,  ea  corrumpit,  Fin.  1,  21,  what  he  changes,  that  he 
spoils,  is  a  modification  of  the  older  question  and  answer:  quae  mutat  ?  ea 
corrumpit,  what  does  he  change  ?  that  he  spoils.  With  adjective  relatives,  the 
substantive  is  expressed  in  both  members,  in  old  or  formal  Latin :  as,  quae 
res  apud  nostrds  non  erant,  earum  rerum  ndmina  ndn  poterant  esse 
usitata,  Cornif.  4,  10,  what  things  did  not  exist  among  our  countrymen,  of 
those  things  the  names  could  not  have  been  in  common  use. 

o 

1796.  (2.)  The  relative  sentence  may  also  come  last.  As  early  as  Plau¬ 
tus,  this  had  become  the  prevalent  arrangement,  and  the  substantive  of  the 
main  sentence  is  called  the  Antecedent :  as, 

ultra  eum  locum,  qu5  in  loco  German!  consederant,  castris  ido- 
neum  locum  delegit,  1,  49, 1,  beyond  the  place  in  which  place  the  Germans  had 
established  themselves,  he  selected  a  suitable  spot  for  his  camp.  The  three  words 
dies,  locus,  and  res,  are  very  commonly  expressed  thus  both  in  the  antece¬ 
dent  and  the  relative  sentence.  This  repetition  is  rare  in  Livy,  and  disap¬ 
pears  after  his  time. 

1797.  In  old  Latin,  rarely  in  classical  poetry,  a  sentence  sometimes  begins  with  an 
emphasized  antecedent  put  before  the  relative,  and  in  the  case  of  the  relative :  as, 
urbem  quam  statud  vostra  est,  V.  1,  573,  the  city  which  I  found  is  yours ;  for 
quam  urbem  statuo,  ea  vostra  est.  In  the  main  sentence,  is,  hie,  iste,  or 
ille,  is  often  used  ;  less  frequently,  as  in  this  example,  an  appellative. 

1798.  The  main  sentence  often  has  the  determinative  or  demonstrative, 
or  the  substantive,  or  both  omitted :  as, 

(a.)  ub!  intellexit  diem  instare,  qu5  die  frumentum  militibus  metiri 
oporteret,  I,  16,  5,  when  he  saw  the  day  was  drawing  nigh,  on  which  day  tht 
grain  was  to  be  measured  out  to  his  men.  (b.)  quos  amisimus  civis,  eos 
Martis  vis  perculit,  Marc.  17,  what  fellow-citizens  we  have  lost,  those  the  fury 
of  the  War -god  smote  down,  (c.)  Sabinus  quos  tribunSs  militum  circum 
se  habeba't,  se  sequi  iubet,  5,  37,  1,  Sabinus  ordered  what  tribunes  of  tht 
soldiers  he  had  about  him,  to  follow  him. 

292 


The  Relative  Sentence. 


[1799-1804. 


1793.  The  antecedent  is  often  omitted  when  it  is  indefinite,  or  is  obvious 
from  the  context :  as, 

sunt  qui  mlrentur,  V.  1,  6,  there  be  who  wonder,  delegistl  qu5s 
Romae  relinqueres,  C.  1,  9,  you  picked  out  people  to  leave  in  Rome,  quod 
perilt,  periit,  PI.  Cist.  703,  gone  is  gone.  Caesar  cogndvit  Considium, 
quod  non  vidisset,  pr5  vlsd  sib!  renuntiavisse,  1,  22,  4,  Caesar  ascertained 
that  Cons  id  ins  had  reported  to  him  as  seen  what  he  had  not  seen. 

1800.  An  ablative  or  nominative  abstract  in  the  relative  sentence  sometimes  repre¬ 
sents  an  ablative  of  manner  or  quality  omitted  from  the  main  sentence  :  as,  qua  pru¬ 
dentia  es,  nihil  te  fugiet,  Fam.  11,  13,  1,  with  what  sense  you  have ,  nothing 
will  elude  you ,  i.  e.  ea  qua  es  prudentia,  nihil  te  fugiet.  sperS,  quae  tua 
prudentia  est,  te  valere,  Alt.  6,  9,  1,  1  hope  that,  with  your  characteristic  caution , 
you  are  well,  at  AiaxL  quo  animS  traditur,  millies  oppetere  mortem 
quam  ilia  perpeti  maluisset,  Off.  1,  1 13,  Ajax ,  on  the  contrary ,  with  his 
traditional  vehemence,  would  have  chosen  rather  to  die  a  thousand  deaths  than  to 
submit  to  such  indignities.  This  ellipsis  begins  with  Cicero,  and  is  found  a  few  times 
only  in  later  writers. 


Agreement  of  the  Relative. 

1801.  The  agreement  of  the  relative  has  already  been  spoken  of  in  a 
general  way  (1082-1098).  For  convenience,  however,  it  may  be  set  forth 
here  more  explicitly. 

1802.  A  relative  pronoun  agrees  with  its  antecedent 
in  gender  and  number,  but  its  case  depends  on  the  con¬ 
struction  of  the  sentence  in  which  it  stands  :  as, 

Hippias  gloriatus  est  anulum  quern  haberet,  pallium  quo  amictus, 
soccos  quibus  indutus  esset,  se  sua  manu  confecisse,  DO.  3,  127, 

IPippias  prided  himself  that  he  had  made  with  his  own  hand  the  ring  that  he 
wore,  the  cloak  in  which  he  was  wrapped,  and  the  slippers  that  he  had  on. 
This  holds  of  all  relatives  with  inflected  form,  such  as  quicumque,  qualis, 
quantus,  &c.,  &c. 

1803.  When  the  relative  refers  to  two  or  more  antecedents  of  different 
gender,  its  gender  is  determined  like  that  of  a  predicate  adjective  (1087) :  as, 

matres  et  liberi,  quorum  aetas  misericordiam  vestram  requirebat, 

V.  5,  129,  mothers  and  babies,  whose  years  would  appeal  to  your  sympathy  (10SS). 
otium  atque  divitiae,  quae  prima  mortales  putant,  S.  C.  36,  4,  peace  and 
prosperity,  which  the  sons  of  men  count  chiefest  of  blessings  (1089).  fortuna, 
quam  nemo  ab  incSnstantia  et  temeritate  seiunget,  quae  digna  non 
sunt  de5,  D IV.  3,  61,  fortune,  which  nobody  will  distinguish  from  caprice  and 
hazard,  qualities  which  are  not  befitting  god  (10S9).  Sometimes  the  relative 
agrees  with  the  nearest  substantive  :  as,  eas  fruges  atque  fructus,  qu5s 
terra  gignit,  D IV.  2,  37,  the  crops,  and  the  fruits  of  the  trees  that  earth 
produces. 

1804.  The  relative  is  sometimes  regulated  by  the  sense,  and  not  by  the 
form  of  the  antecedent :  as,

1805-1811]  Sentences:  The  Subordinate  Sentence. 


equitatum  praemittit  qui  videant,  1,  15,  1,  he  sends  the  cavalry  ahead, 
for  them  to  see  (1095).  unus  ex  e5  numero,  qui  ad  caedem  parati 
erant,  S.  I.  35,  6,  one  of  the  number  that  were  ready  to  do  murder  (1095).  duo 
prodigia,  quos  improbitas  tribuno  cdnstrictos  addixerat,  Sest.  38,  a  pair 
of  monstrosities,  whom  their  depravity  had  delivered  over  in  irons  to  the  tribune. 
scriba  pontificis,  qu5s  nunc  minores  pontifices  appellant,  L.  22,  57,  3,  a 
clerk  of  the  pontiff,  which  clerks  they  call  nowadays  lesser  pontiffs ,  i.  e.  quos 
scribas.  Veiens  bellum  exortum,  quibus  Sabinx  arma  coniunxerant, 
L.  2,  53,  1,  a  Vejan  war  broke  out ,  with  whom  the  Sabines  had  allied  them¬ 
selves,  i.  e.  bellum  cum  Veientibus. 

1805.  A  relative  referring  to  a  proper  name  and  explanatory  appellative  com¬ 
bined,  may  take  the  gender  of  either:  as,  flumine  Rheno,  qui  agrum  Helve- 
tium  a  Germanis  dividit,  1,  2,  3,  by  the  river  Rhine ,  which  is  the  boundary 
between  Helvetians  and  Germans.  ad  flumen  Scaldem  quod  influit  in 
Mosam,  6,  33,  3,  to  the  river  Scheldt ,  that  empties  itself  into  the  Maas. 

1806.  With  verbs  of  indeterminate  meaning  (1035),  the  relative  pronoun  some¬ 
times  agrees  with  the  predicate  substantive:  as,  Thebae  ipsae,  quod  Boeotiae 
caput  est,  L.  42,  44,  3,  Thebes  itself  \  which  is  the  capital  of  Boeotia.  Often,  how¬ 
ever,  with  the  antecedent:  as,  flumen  quod  appellatur  Tamesis,  5,  1 1,  8,  the 

river  which  is  called  the  Tha)ncs. 

1807.  When  the  relative  is  subject,  its  verb  agrees  with  the  person  of 
the  antecedent :  as, 

haec  omnia  is  feci,  qui  sodalis  Dolabellae  eram,  Fam.  12,  14,  7,  all 

this  I  did,  I  that  was  Dolabella' s  bosom  friend,  iniquos  es,  qui  me  tacere 
postules,  T.  Hau.  1011,  thou  art  unfair,  expecting  me  to  hold  i?iy  tongue. 
So  also  when  the  antecedent  is  implied  in  a  possessive  :  as,  cum  tu  nostra, 
qui  remansissemus,  caede  te  contentum  esse  dicebas,  C.  1,  7,  when  you 
said  you  were  satisfied  with  murdering  us,  who  had  staid  behind. 

1808.  For  an  accusative  of  the  relative  with  an  ablative  antecedent  the  ablative  is 
rarely  used:  as,  notante  iudice  qu5  nosti  populd,  H.  S.  r,  6,  15,  the  judge 
condemning'  —  thou  know' st  who —  the  world.  This  represents  the  older  interroga¬ 
tive  conception  :  notante  iudice  —  quo  ?  —  nosti,  populd  (1795). 

1809.  A  new  substantive  added  in  explanation  of  an  antecedent  is  put  after  the 
relative,  and  m  the  same  case:  as,  ad  Amanum  contendi,  qui  mons  erat 
hostium  plenus,  Att.  5,  20,  3,  I  pushed  on  to  Amanus ,  a  mountain  that  was 
packed  with  the  enemy.  This  use  begins  with  Cicero ;  but  from  Livy  on,  the  ex¬ 
planatory  word  is  also  put  as  an  appositive,  with  the  relative  following:  as,  Decius 
Magius,  vir  cui  nihil  defuit,  L.  23,  7,  4,  Magius,  a  man  that  lacked  nothing. 

1810.  An  adjective,  especially  a  comparative,  superlative,  or  numeral, 
explanatory  of  a  substantive  in  the  main  sentence,  is  often  put  in  the  relative 
sentence:  as, 

palus  quae  perpetua  intercedebat  Romanos  ad  insequendum  tar- 
dabat,  7,  26,  2,  a  morass,  that  lay  unbroken  between,  hitidered  the  Romans  from 
pursuit. 

1 81 1.  When  reference  is  made  to  the  substance  of  a  sentence,  the 
neuter  quod  is  used,  or  more  commonly  id  quod,  either  usually  in 
parenthesis :  as,

The  Relative  Sentence. 


[1812-1816. 


intellegitur,  id  quod  iam  ante  dixi,  imprudente  L.  Sulla  scelera 
haec  fieri,  RA.  25,  it  is  plain,  as  I  have  said  once  before,  that  these  crimes  are 
committed  without  the  cognizance  of  Sulla.  In  continuations,  quae  res  :  as, 
naves  removeri  iussit,  quae  res  magnd  usui  nostris  fuit,  4,  25,  1,  he 
ordered  the  vessels  to  be  withdrawn ,  a  course  which  proved  very  advantageous 
for  our  people. 

MOODS  IN  THE  RELATIVE  SENTENCE. 

1812.  The  relative  is  sometimes  equivalent  to  a  conditional  protasis. 
When  thus  used,  it  may  have  either  the  indicative  or  the  subjunctive,  as  the 
sense  requires :  as, 

(a.)  quod  beatum  est,  nec  habet  nec  exhibet  cuiquam  negdtium, 

DN.  1,  85,  whatsoever  is  blessed,  has  no  trouble  and  makes  none  to  anybody. 
quisquis  hue  venerit,  pugnos  edet,  PL  Am.  309,  whoever  comes  this  way, 
shall  have  a  taste  of  fists  (1796).  omnia  mala  ingerebat  quemquem  ad- 
spexerat,  PI.  Men.  717,  she  showered  all  possible  bad  names  on  every  man  she 
saw  (1795).  (^-)  haec  qui  videat,  nonne  cogatur  confiterl  deos  esse, 

DN.  2,  1 2,  whoso  should  see  this  would  be  forced,  would  n' t  he  ?  to  admit  the 
existence  of  gods,  qui  videret,  equum  Troianum  introductum  diceret, 
V.  4,  52,  whoever  saw  it  would  have  sworn  it  was  the  Trojan  horse  brought  in 

(1559)- 

The  Indicative  Mood. 

1813.  The  indicative  is  used  in  simple  declarations 
or  descriptions  introduced  by  a  relative  :  as, 

quern  di  diligunt,  adulescens  moritur,  PI.  B.  816,  whom  the  gods  love, 
dies  young,  rfiliqul,  qui  doml  manserunt,  se  alunt,  4,  1,  5,  the  others,  that 
stay  at  home,  support  themselves  (1736).  quos  laborantes  ednspexerat,  his 
subsidia  submittebat,  4,  26,  4,  to  such  as  he  saw  in  stress,  he  kept  sending 
reinforcemetits  (1736).  tu  quod  voles  facies,  QFr.  3,  4,  5,  do  what  you  like 

673  5)- 

1814.  The  indicative  is  also  used  with  indefinite  relative  pronouns  and  adverbs: 
as,  quidquid  volt,  valde  volt,  Att.  14,  1,  2,  whatever  he  wants ,  /zc?  wants  might¬ 
ily.  quisquis  est,  TD.  4,  37,  whoever  he  may  be.  quacumque  iter  fecit,  V. 
1,  44,  wherever  he  ?nade  his  way.  In  later  writers  the  imperfect  or  pluperfect  is 
often  in  the  subjunctive  :  see  1730. 

1815.  An  original  indicative  often  becomes  subjunctive,  partic¬ 
ularly  in  indirect  discourse  (1722)  ;  or  by  attraction  (1728)  ;  or  to 
indicate  repeated  action  (1730).  See  also  1727  and  1731. 

The  Subjunctive  Mood. 

1816.  Relative  pronoun  sentences  take  the  subjunc¬ 
tive  to  denote  (i.)  a  purpose,  (2.)  a  characteristic  or 
result,  (3.)  a  cause,  reason,  proof,  or  a  concession. 

295 


1S17-1S23.]  Sentences :  The  Subordi?iate  Sentence. 


Sentences  of  Purpose. 

1817.  (1.)  Relative  sentences  of  purpose  are  equivalent  to  sub¬ 
junctive  sentences  introduced  by  ut,  in  order  that,  to  (1947)  :  as, 

ea  qui  cdnficeret.  C.  Trebonium  relinquit,  7,  11,  3,  he  left  Trebottius  to 
manage  this,  qualis  esset  natura  mdntis.  qui  cognoscerent,  misit,  1, 21,  1, 

he  sent  some  scouts  to  ascertain  sc  hat  the  character  of  the  mountain  zuas.  haec 
habui  de  amicitia  quae  dicerem.  L.  104,  this  toas  what  I  had  to  say  of 
friendship.  Sentences  of  purpose  are  an  extension  of  the  subjunctive  of 
desire  (1540). 

Sentences  of  Characteristic  or  Result. 

1818.  (2.)  Relative  sentences  of  characteristic  or  result  are  equiva¬ 
lent  to  subjunctive  sentences  introduced  by  ut.  so  as'to,  so  that  (1947). 

The  main  sentence  sometimes  has  a  word  denoting  character,  such  as  is, 
eius  modi,  rarely  talis :  as,  neque  is  sum,  qui  mortis  periculd  terrear,  5, 
30,  2,  but  lam  not  the  man  to  be  scared  by  danger  of  death,  no  not  I.  Often, 
however,  character  is  intimated  by  the  mood  alone  :  as,  secutae  sunt  tem- 
pestates  quae  nostros  in  castris  continerent,  4,  34,  4,  there  followed  a 
succession  of  storms  to  keep  our  people  in  camp,  quod  miserandum  sit  labo- 
ratis.  DX.  3,  62,  you  struggle  away  to  a  pitiable  degree.  Sentences  of  result 
are  an  extension  of  the  subjunctive  of  action  conceivable  (1554). 

1819.  The  subjunctive  with  qui  is  often  used  with  dignus,  indignus,  or 
idoneus,  usually  with  a  form  of  sum:  as.  Livianae  fabulae  non  satis  dignae 
quae  iterurn  legantur,  Br.  71,  Livy's  plays  are  not  worth  reading  twice,  non 
erit  idoneus  qui  ad  bellum  vs\\\\.2d.MT,IP.(ok,hewillnotbeaftpcrsontobc 
sent  to  the  war.  Twice  thus,  aptus,  once  in  Cicero,  once  in  Ovid.  In  poetry  and 
late  prose  these  adjectives  sometimes  have  the  infinitive,  dignus  and  indignus 
have  also  ut  in  Plautus,  Livv,  and  Quintilian. 

1820.  Relative  subjunctive  sentences  are  sometimes  coordinated  by  et  or  sed, 
with  a  substantive,  adjective,  or  participle :  as,  audax  et  coetus  possit  quae  ferre 
virdrum,  J.  6,  399,  a  brazen  minx,  and  one  quite  capable  of  facing  crouds  of  men. 

1821.  Relatit  e  sentences  after  assertions  or  questions  of  existence 
or  non-existence,  take  the  subjunctive  :  as, 

sunt  qui  putent,  TD.  1,  iS,  there  be  people  to  think,  there  be  who  think ,  or 
some  people  think,  nemo  est  qui  nesciat,  Fam.  1,  4,  2.  there  is  nobody  that 
doesn't  know,  sapientia  est  una  quae  maestitiam  pellat  ex  animis,  Fin. 

1,  43-  wisdom  is  the  only  thing  to  drive  sadness  from  the  soul. 

1822.  Such  expressions  are:  est  (exsistit,  exortus  est),  qui;  sunt 
(reperiuntur.non  desunt),  qui :  nemo  est,  qui;  quis  est,  qui;  solus  or 
unus  est,  qui;  est.  nihil  est,  quad  ;  quid  est,  quod  ?  habed,  non  habeo, 
nihil  habed,  quod.  &c.,  &c.  Indefinite  subjects  are  sometimes  used  with 
tr.ese  verbs  :  as,  multi,  quidam,  ndnnulll,  alii,  pauci ;  sometimes  appella¬ 
tives  :  as,  homines,  philosophi. 

1823.  The  indicative,  however,  is  not  infrequently  found  in  affirmative  sentences, 

particularly  in  old  Latin  and  in  poetry :  as.  sunt  quos  scio  esse  amieds.  PI. 
Tri.  91,  some  jnen  there  are  I  know  to  be  my  friends,  interdum  volgus  rectum 
videt,  est  ubi  peccat,  H.  E.  2,  I,  6^,  sometimes  the  world  sees  right,  there  be 
times  when  i:  errs,  sunt  item,  quae  appellantur  alces,  6,  27,  1,  then  again 
there  are  what  they  call  elks.  S

The  Relative  Sentence.  [1824-1829. 


Sentences  of  Cause  or  Concession. 

1824.  (3.)  Relative  sentences  of  cause,  reason,  proof,  or  of  con¬ 
cession,  are  equivalent  to  subjunctive  sentences  introduced  by  cum, 
since ,  though  (1877):  as, 

(a.)  hospes,  qui  nihil  suspicaretur,  hominem  retinere  coepit,  V.  1,64, 
the  friend ,  suspecting  nothing ,  undertook  to  hold  on  to  the  man.  Often  justify¬ 
ing  the  use  of  a  single  word  :  as,  0  fortunate  adulescens,  qui  tuae  virtutis 
Homerum  praeconem  inveneris,  Arch.  24,  oh  youth  thrice-blest,  with  Homer 
trumpeter  of  thy  prowess,  ad  me  venit  Heracliu-s,  homo  nobilis,  qui  sacer- 
d5s  Iovis  fuisset,  V.  4,  137,  I  had  a  call  from  Hcraclius,  a  man  of  high  stand¬ 
ing,  as  is  proved  by  his  having  been  a  priest  of  Jupiter,  (b.)  Cicero,  qui  mili- 
tes  in  castris  continuisset,  quinque  cohortes  frumentatum  mittit,  6,36, 1, 
though  Cicero  had  kept  his  men  in  camp,  he  sends  five  cohorts  foraging. 

1825.  With  qui  tamen.  however,  the  indicative  is  usual :  as.  alter,  qui  tamen 
se  continuerat,  non  tenuit  eum  locum,  Sest.  114,  the  other ,  though  he  had 
observed  a  quiet  policy ,  did  not  hold  the  place. 

1826.  Oftentimes,  where  a  causal  relation  might  be  expected,  a  simple 
declaratory  indicative  is  used :  as, 

habeo  senectuti  magnam  gratiam,  quae  mih!  sermonis  aviditatem 

auxit,  CM.  46,  I  feel  greatly  indebted  to  age ,  which  has  increased  my  eagerness 

for  conversation.  Particularly  thus  in  old  Latin  :  as,  sed  sumne  ego  stultus, 
qui  rem  cur5  publicam  ?  PI.  Per.  75,  but  am  I  not  a  fool,  who  bother  with  the 
common  weal?  Compared  with:  sed  ego  sum  insipientior,  qui  rebus 
curem  puplicls,  PI.  Tri.  1057,  but  I'm  a  very  fool,  to  bother  with  the  common 
weal.  Often  of  coincident  action  (1733):  as,  stulte  feci,  qui  hunc  amisi, 
PI.  MG.  1376,  I've  acted  like  a  fool,  in  letting  this  man  off. 

1827.  The  causal  relative  is  often  introduced  by  quippe,  less  frequently 
by  ut,  or  ut  pote,  naturally :  as, 

‘  convivia  cum  patre  non  inibat;’  quippe  qui  ne  in  oppidum  quidem 
nisi  perraro  veniret,  PA.  52,  ‘  he  never  went  to  dintier-parties  with  his  fa¬ 
ther  ;  ’  why,  of  course  not,  since  he  never  went  to  a  simple  country  town  even, 
except  very  rarely,  dictator  tamen,  ut  qui  magis  animis  quam  viribus 
fretus  ad  certamen  descenderet,  omnia  circumspicere  coepit,  L.  7,  14, 
6,  but  the  dictator,  naturally,  since  he  went  into  the  struggle  trusting  to  mind 
rather  than  muscle,  now  began  to  be  all  on  the  alert.  With  quippe  qui,  the 
indicative  only  is  used  by  Sallust,  and  is  preferred  by  Plautus  and  Terence. 
Cicero  has,  with  one  exception,  the  subjunctive,  Tacitus  and  Xepos  have  it 
always.  Livy  has  either  mood.  Xot  in  Caesar,  ut  qui  has  the  subjunctive. 
It  occurs  a. few  times  in  Plautus,  Cicero,  once  in  Caesar,  oftenest  in  Livy. 
With  the  indicative  once  in  Cicero,  and  once  in  Tacitus,  ut  pote  qui  has 
the  subjunctive.  It  is  used  by  Plautus,  by  Cicero,  once  with  the  indicative, 
by  Sallust,  and  Catullus. 

1828.  The  indefinite  ablative  qui,  somehow,  surely,  sometimes  follows  quippe 
or  ut  in  old  Latin,  in  which  case  it  must  not  be  confounded  with  the  relative :  as, 
quippe  qui  ex  te  audivi,  PI.  Am.  745,  why.  sure  I've  heard  from  you ;  it 
cannot  be  the  relative  here,  as  the  speaker  is  a  woman. 

1829.  The  subjunctive  is  used  in  parenthetical  sentences  of  restric¬ 
tion  :  as,

1830-1834-]  Sentences:  The  Subordinate  Sentence. 


quod  sciam,  PI.  Men.  500 ;  T.  Ad.  641 ;  RA.  17,  to  the  best  of  my  knowl¬ 
edge  and  belief,  quod  sine  molestia  tua  fiat,  Fam.  13,  23,  2,  as  far  as  may 
be  without  trouble  to  yourself .  qui  is  often  followed  by  quidem  :  as,  omnium 
oratorum,  qu5s  quidem  ego  c5gn5verim,  acutissimum  iudic5  Q.  SertS- 
rium,  Br.  180,  of  all  orators ,  at  least  of  all  that  I  have  made  the  acquaintance 
of  myself  I  count  Sertorius  the  sharpest. 

1830.  The  indicative,  however,  is  used  in  quod  attinet  ad,  as  to,  and  usually 
with  quantum,  and  with  forms  of  sum  and  possum:  as,  quod  sine  molestia 
tua  facere  poteris,  Att.  1,  5,  7,  as  far  as  you  can  without  troubling  yourself  . 

CORRELATIVE  SENTENCES. 

1831.  Sentences  are  said  to  be  correlative ,  when  a  relative  pro¬ 
noun  or  adverb  has  a  corresponding  determinative  or  demonstrative 
pronoun  or  adverb  in  the  main  sentence. 

Thus,  the  ordinary  correlative  of  qui  is  is,  less  frequently  hie,  ille,  idem. 
Similarly  tot  .  .  .  quot  are  used  as  correlatives ;  also  qud  .  .  .  eo,  quant5 
.  .  .  tanto;  quantum  .  .  .  tantum  ;  tarn  .  .  .  quam;  totiens  .  .  .  quo- 
tiens ;  talis  .  .  .  qualis;  ubl  .  .  .  ibl ;  ut  .  .  .  ita,  sic,  or  item  ;  cum  .  .  . 
turn. 


RELATIVE  SENTENCES  COMBINED. 

(A.)  Coordination  of  a  Relative. 

1832.  (1.)  When  two  coordinate  relative  sentences  would  have  the 
second  relative  in  the  same  case  as  the  first,  the  second  relative  is  usually 
omitted  :  as, 

Dumnorigi  qui  prlncipatum  optinebat,  ac  maxime  plebi  acceptus 
erat,  persuadet,  1,3,5,  ^ie  prevails  with  Dumnorix,  who  held  the  headship,  and 
to  as  popular  with  the  commons. 

1833.  (2.)  When  two  coordinate  relative  sentences  require  two  different 
cases  of  the  relative,  the  relative  is  usually  expressed  with  both,  or  else  the 
second  relative,  which  is  usually  nominative  or  accusative,  is  omitted,  or  is, 
hie,  ille,  or  Idem,  is  substituted  for  it :  as, 

[a.)  cur  loquimur  de  e5  hoste,  qui  iam  fatetur  se  esse  hostem,  et 
quern  non  time5  ?  C.  2,  17,  why  am  I  talking  about  an  enemy  who  admits 
himself  he  is  an  enemy ,  and  whom  I  do  not  fear?  (b.)  Bocchus  cum  pedi- 
tibus,  quos  Volux  adduxerat,  neque  in  pridre  pugna  adfuerant,  S.  /. 
1 01,  5,  Bocchus  with  the  infantry  whom  Volux  had  brought  up,  and  who  had 
not  been  engaged  in  the  first  skirmish.  ( c .)  Viriathus,  quern  C.  Laelius 
fregit,  ferdcitatemque  eius  repressit,  Off.  2,  40,  Viriathus,  whom  Laelius 
crushed,  and  curbed  his  fiery  soul.  This  last  use  is  chiefly  limited  to  old 
Latin,  Cicero,  and  Lucretius. 

(B.)  Subordination  of  a  Relative. 

1834.  A  sentence  consisting  of  a  main  and  a  relative  member,  maybe 
further  modified  by  a  more  specific  relative  sentence  :  as, 

298 


Conjunctional  Sentences .  [1835-1839. 


proximi  sunt  Germanis  qui  trans  Rhenum  incolunt  (general),  qui- 
buscum  continenter  bellum  gerunt  (specific),  i,  i,  3,  they  are  nearest  to 
the  Germans  that  live  beyond  the  Rhine ,  with  whom  they  carry  on  uninterrupted 
hostilities,  idem  artifex  Cupidinem  fecit  ilium  qui  est  Thespiis  (gen¬ 
eral),  propter  quern  Thespiae  visuntur  (specific),  V.  4,  4,  the  selfsa?ne 
artist  made  the  world-renowned  Cupid  at  Thespiae ,  which  is  the  attraction  for 
tourists  in  Thespiae. 


THE  RELATIVE  INTRODUCING  A  MAIN  SENTENCE. 

1835.  Besides  the  ordinary  use  of  the  relative,  to  introduce  a 
subordinate  sentence,  it  is  often  used  like  hie,  or  is,  or  like  et 
is,  is  autem,  is  enim,  or  is  igitur,  to  append  a  fresh  main 
sentence  or  period  to  the  foregoing :  as, 

consiliS  convocatS  sententias  exquirere  coepit,  qu5  in  cSnsiliS  non- 
nullae  huius  modi  sententiae  dicebantur,  3,  3,  1,  calling  a  council  of  war, 
he  proceeded  to  ask  their  opinion,  and  in  this  council  some  opinions  of  the  foil div¬ 
ing  import  were  set  forth,  centuriones  hostes  vocare  coeperunt ;  quorum 
progredi  ausus  est  nemo,  5,  43,  6,  the  officers  proceeded  to  call  the  enemy  ; 
but  not  a  man  of  them  vetitured  to  step  forward.  perutiles  Xenophontis 
libri  sunt ;  quos  legite  studiose,  CM.  59,  Xenophon' s  zuorks  are  extremely 
profitable  reading ;  so  do  read  them  attentively.  In  Plautus  this  use  is  rare; 
but  it  becomes  more  and  more  prevalent,  and  in  the  time  of  Cicero  the  rel¬ 
ative  is  one  of  the  commonest  connectives. 

1836.  From  this  use  of  the  relative  come  many  introductory  formulas,  such  as 

qu5  fact5,  qua  re  cognita,  quae  cum  ita  sint,  &c.,  &c. 

1837.  A  connective  quod  is  often  used  before  si,  nisi,  or  etsi, 
less  frequently  before  quia,  quoniam,  utinam,  qui,  &c. 

This  quod  may  be  translated  so,  but,  nozv,  whereas,  as  to  that,  &c.,  or  it  is 
often  best  omitted  in  translation.  See  2132. 


THE  CONJUNCTIVE  PARTICLE  SENTENCE. 

quod. 

1838.  The  conjunctive  particle  quod,  originally  the  neuter  of  the 
relative  pronoun,  has  both  a  declarative  sense,  that ,  and  a  causal  sense, 
because.  In  both  senses  it  regularly  introduces  the  indicative  (1721). 
For  special  reasons,  however,  the  subjunctive  is  often  used,  and  par¬ 
ticularly  in  indirect  discourse  (1722). 

1839.  In  some  of  its  applications,  particularly  in  old  Latin,  the  conjunc¬ 
tive  particle  quod  can  hardly  be  distinguished  from  the  pronoun  quod,  as 
follows : 


299 


1840-1845*]  Sentences:  The  Subordinate  Sentence. 


1840.  (1.)  In  old  Latin,  quod,  why,  for  what ,  is  sometimes  used  with  veni5 
and  mittd.  Thus,  as  in  id  venimus,  PI.  MG.  1158,  that ’s  zvhy  we  've  come ,  id  is 
used  to  define  the  purpose  of  the  motion  (1144),  so  also  quod,  in  quod  veni,  elo- 
quar,  T.  Hau.  prol.  3,  what  I've  come  for ,  I'll  set  forth.  Instead  of  quod,  more 
explicitly  quam  ob  rem  :  as,  quam  ob  rem  hue  sum  missa,  PI.  R.  430,  what 
I  am  se7it  here  for. 

1841.  (2.)  quod,  why,  for  what,  is  used  in  such  expansions  as  quid  est 
quod  ?  quid  habes  quod  ?  or  nihil  est  quod  :  as, 

quid  est  quod  me  excivisti?  PI.  E.  570,  why  is  it  that  you've  called  me 
out  ?  (1144).  Usually  with  the  subjunctive  (1563)  :  as,  quid  est  quod  plura 
dicamus  ?  Clu.  59,  what  reason  is  there  for  saying  more ?  For  quod,  some¬ 
times  qua  re,  quam  ob  rem,  cur,  &c.  _The  question  itself  is  also  sometimes 
varied :  as,  quid  fuit  causae,  cur  in  Africam  Caesarem  non  sequerere  ? 
Ph.  2,  71,  what  earthly  reason  was  there ,  why  you  should  not  have  folloiued 
Caesar  to  Africa  ? 

1842.  (3.)  quod,  as  to  what ,  or  that ,  is  used,  especially  at  the  beginning 
of  a  sentence,  to  introduce  a  fact  on  which  something  is  to  be  said,  often  by 
way  of  protest  or  refutation  :  as, 

verum  quod  tu  dicis,  ndn  te  mi  irasci  decet,  PI.  Am.  522,  but  as  to 
what  you  say,  it  is  n’t  right  that  you  should  get  provoked  with  me.  quod  mul- 
titudinem  Germanorum  in  Galliam  traducat,  id  se  sui  muniendi  causa 
facere,  1,  44,  6,  as  to  his  moving  a  great  many  Germans  over  to  Gaul,  that  he 
did  for  self-protection  (1722).  This  construction  is  particularly  common  in 
Caesar,  and  in  Cicero’s  letters. 

1843.  When  quod,  in  case ,  suppose,  although ,  introduces  a  mere  conjecture  or  a 
concession,  the  subjunctive  is  used  (1554) :  as,  quod  quispiam  ignem  quaerat, 
extingui  vol5,  PI.  Aul.  91,  in  case  a  ma7i  77iay  co77ie  for  fire,  I  want  the  fire  put 
out.  This  use  is  principally  found  in  old  Latin,  but  once  or  twice  also  in  Cicero. 

1844.  quod,  that ,  the  fact  that ,  is  often  used  in 
subordinate  sentences  which  serve  to  complete  the  sense 
of  the  main  sentence. 

1845.  The  sentence  with  quod  may  represent  a  subject,  as  with  accedit ; 
an  object,  as  with  praetereb,  &c.  ;  or  any  case  of  a  substantive  ;  frequently 
it  is  in  apposition  with  a  demonstrative  or  an  appellative  :  as, 

(a.)  accedebat,  quod  subs  ab  se  liberos  abstractos  dolebant,  3,  2,  5, 

there  was  added  this  fact,  that  they  lamented  that  their  own  children  were  torn 
front  them  ;  or  less  clumsily,  then  too  they  lamented,  praetereb,  quod  earn 
sib!  domum  sedemque  delegit,  in  qua  cotidie  viri  mortis  indicia  videret, 
Clu.  188,  I  pass  over  the  fact  that  she  picked  out  a  house  to  live  in,  hi  which 
she  would  see,  day  in  day  out,  things  to  remind  her  of  her  husband's  death. 
illud  minus  euro,  quod  congessisti  operarios  omnes,  Br.  297,  I  am  not 
particularly  interested  in  the  fact  that  you  have  lumped  together  all  sorts  of  cob¬ 
blers  and  tinkers,  (b.)  Caesar  senatus  in  eum  beneficia  commemoravit, 
quod  rex  appellatus  esset  a  senatu,  1,43,4,  Caesar  told  off  the  kindnesses 
of  the  senate  to  the  man,  the  fact  that  ‘  he  had  been  styled  king  by  the  senate  ’

Terence,  Lucretius,  Horace,  and  Ovid,  adicid  quod  begins  with  Livy. 

1847.  The  sentence  with  quod  is  often  introduced  by  a  prepositional  expression, 
such  as  eo  with  de,  ex,  in,  pro,  rarely  with  cum  ;  or  id  with  ad  in  Livy,  super

turn  quod  in  the  sense  of  nisi  quod  is  rare;  more  commonly  of  time,  just,  hardly. 

1849.  quid  quod?  for  quid  de  eo  dicam  quod?  what  of  the  fact  that , 
or  nay  more ,  marks  an  important  transition  :  as,  quid  quod  salus  sociorum 
in  periculum  vocatur  ?  IP.  12,  nay  more ,  the  very  existence  of  our  allies  is 
endangered. 

1850.  With  verbs  of  doing  or  happening,  accompanied  by  some  word  of

is  often  used,  or  in  Plautus  quia. 

1851.  quod,  that,  because,  is  used  to  denote  cause  with  verbs  of  emotion. 

Thus,  as  with  id  in  id  gaudeS,  T.  Andr.  362,  I'm  glad  of  that  (1144),  so 
with  an  object  sentence,  as  gaudeo  quod  te  interpellavl,  Leg.  3,  1,  I’m  glad

maereo,  angor,  indignor,  suscenseo,  irascor,  moleste  fero,  &c.  In  Plau¬ 
tus,  these  verbs  have  usually  quia,  sometimes  quom  (1875).  For  the 
accusative  with  the  infinitive,  see  21S7. 

1852.  Verbs  of  praising,  blaming,  accusing,  and  condemning,  often  take

1853-  Causal  quod,  owing  to  the  fact  that ,  because , 
introduces  an  efficient  cause,  or  a  reason  or  motive  :  as, 

(a.)  in  his  locis,  quod  omnis  Gallia  ad  septentridnes  vergit,  maturae 
sunt  hiemes,  4,  20,  1,  in  these  parts  the  winter  sets  in  early ,  owing  to  the  fact 
that  Gaul  in  general  lies  to  the  north.  Helvetii  rgliquos  Gallos  virtute 
praecedunt,  quod  fere  cotidianis  proeliis  cum  Germanls  contendunt, 
1,  1,  4,  the  Helvetians  outshine  the  rest  of  the  Gauls  in  bravery ,  becatise  they  do 
battle  with  the  Germans  almost  every  day.  h5rum  fortissimi  sunt  Belgae, 
propterea  quod  a  cultu  provinciae  longissime  absunt,  1,  1,  3,  of  these  the 
stoutest  fighting-men  are  the  Belgians,  for  the  reason  that  they  live  furthest  away 
from  the  comforts  of  the  province,  (b.)  T.  Manlius  Torquatus  filium  suum, 
quod  is  contra  imperium  in  hostem  pugnaverat,  necari  iussit,  S.  C.  52, 
30,  Torquatus  ordered  his  own  son  to  be  put  to  death ,  because  the  young  man  had 
fought  with  the  enemy  contrary  to  orders.  exSravit  tyrannum  ut  abire  lice- 
ret,  quod  iam  beatus  ndllet  esse,  TD.  5,  62,  he  induced  the  monarch  to  let 
him  go,  ‘  because  he  didn't  care  to  be  Fortune’s  pet  any  longer  ’  (1725).  Bello- 
vaci  suum  numerum  n5n  contulerunt,  quod  se  suo  arbitrio  bellum  esse 
gesturbs  dicerent,  7,  75,  5,  the  Bellovacans  woidd  not  put  in  their  proper 
quota,  saying  they  meant  to  make  war  on  their  own  responsibility  (1727). 

1854.  quod  often  has  a  correlative  in  the  main  sentence,  such  as  eo, 
ideo,  idcircb,  propterea.  In  Sallust,  ea  gratia.  In  Plautus,  quia  is  com¬ 
monly  used  in  the  sense  of  quod,  because. 

1855-  An  untenable  reason  is  introduced  by  non  quod,  non  quo,  or  in 
Plautus,  by  non  eo  quia,  in  Terence,  by  non  eo  qud.  From  Livy  on,  non 
quia.  The  valid  reason  follows,  with  sed  quod,  sed  quia,  or  with  sed  and 
a  fresh  main  sentence. 

The  mood  is  usually  subjunctive  (1725)  :  as,  pugiles  ingemiscunt,  non 
quod  doleant,  sed  quia  profundenda  voce  omne  corpus  intenditur, 
TD.  2,  56,  boxers  grunt  and  groan,  not  because  they  feel  pain,  but  because  by' 
explosion  of  voice  the  whole  system  gets  braced  up.  Sometimes  the  indicative. 
Correlatives,  such  as  idcircb,  ided,  &c.,  are  not  uncommon.  Reversed 
constructions  occur,  with  magis  followed  by  quam,  as:  magis  quod,  qu5, 
or  quia,  followed  by  quam  qu5,  quod,  or  quia.  The  negative  not  that 
.  .  .  not,  is  expressed  by  non  quod  non,  non  quo  non,  or  nbn  quin. 


«.  quia. 

1856.  quia  has  the  same  general  use  as  quod.  It  is,  however, 
more  prevalent  in  Plautus,  less  so  from  Terence  on.

quom  or  cum. 

1859.  quom  or  cum  (112,  71 1),  used  as  a  relative  conjunctive 
particle  (1794),  has  a  temporal  meaning,  when,  which  readily  passes 
over  to  an  explanatory  or  causal  meaning,  in  that ,  since  or  although. 
In  both  meanings  it  introduces  the  indicative  in  old  Latin.  In  classi¬ 
cal  Latin,  temporal  cum  in  certain  connections,  and  causal  cum  regu¬ 
larly,  introduces  the  subjunctive.  The  subjunctive  is  also  used  with 
cum  for  special  reasons,  as  in  the  indefinite  second  person  ( 1 73 1 ) > 
by  attraction  (1728),  and  commonly  by  late  writers  to  express  repeated 
past  action  (1730).  cum,  when ,  is  often  used  asa  synonym  of  si, 
if  ‘  and  may  then  introduce  any  form  of  a  conditional  protasis  (2016, 
2110). 

(A.)  Temporal  cum. 

WITH  THE  INDICATIVE. 

1860.  cum,  when ,  whenever ,  if,  of  indefinite  time,  may  introduce 
any  tense  of  the  indicative  required  by  the  context :  as, 

facile  omnes,  quom  valemus,  recta  consilia  aegrotis  damus,  T. 

Aitdr.  309,  we  all ,  when  well,  give  good  advice  to  sick  folk  easily.  Romae 
videor  esse,  cum  tuas  litteras  leg5,  Att.  2,  15,  1,  I  always  fancy  myself  in 
Ro)ne,  when  I  am  reading  a  letter  from  you.  cum  posui  librum,  adsensiS 
omnis  elabitur,  TD.  1,  24,  when  I  drop  the  book,  all  assent  melts  away  (1613).

2,  50,  you  zv ill  inspire  them  with  a  passioii  for  freedom,  when  you  give  them  a

praerumpebantur,  3,  14,  6,  every  time  the  lines  were  caught  by  these  and 
hauled  taut,  they  would  part  (1618).  The  subjunctive  is  used,  chiefly  by 
late  writers,  rarely  by  Cicero  and  Caesar,  to  express  repeated  past  action 
(1730):  as,  cum  in  convivium  venisset,  si  quicquam  caelati  adspexe- 
rat,  mantis  abstinere  n5n  poterat,  V.  4,  48,  when  he  went  to  a  dinner 
party ,  if  he  ever  caught  sight  of  a  bit  of  chased  zuork,  he  never  coitld  keep  his 
hands  off  (2050). 

1861.  cum,  zohen ,  of  definite  time,  regularly  introduces  the  indicative  in 
old  Latin,  even  where  the  subjunctive  is  required  in  classical  Latin 
(1872):  as, 

nam  ilia,  quom  te  ad  se  vocabat,  memet  esse  credidit,  PI.  Men.  1145, 
for  when  that  lady  asked  you  in,  she  thought  ’ tzuas  I.  posticulum  hoc 
recepit,  quom  aedis  vendidit,  PI.  Tri.  194,  this  back  pari  he  excepted,  zvhen 
he  sold  the  house. 

1862.  cum,  wheti,  of  definite  time,  regularly  introduces  the  indica¬ 
tive  of  any  action,  not  of  past  time  :  as, 

sed  de  his  etiam  rebus,  otiosi  cum  erimus,  loquemur,  Fam.  9,  4,  but 
we  will  talk  of  this  when  we  have  time,  cum  ego  P.  Granium  testem

1864.  (1.)  The  indicative  imperfect  is  regularly  used  with  cum, 
when,  to  denote  a  continued  action  parallel  and  coincident  in  duration 
with  another  continued  action,  also  in  the  imperfect :  as, 

quom  pugnabant  maxume,  ego  turn  fugiebam  maxume,  PI.  Am. 

199,  while  they  were  fighting  hardest ,  then  I  was  running  hardest,  turn  cum 

rem  habebas,  quaesticulus  te  faciebat  attentiorem,  Fam.  9,  16,  7,  as 

long  as  you  were  a  matt  of  substance ,  the  fun  of  making  money  made  you  a 
little  close.  The  imperfect  subjunctive  is  exceptional  and  lacks  the  implica¬ 
tion  of  coincidence  in  duration  :  as,  Zenonem,  cum  Athenis  essem,  audie- 
bam  frequenter,  DN.  1,  59,  Zend’s  lectures  I  often  attended ,  when  I  was  in 
Athens. 

1865.  (2.)  The  indicative  imperfect  is  often  used  with  cum,  when ,  denot¬

legiones  quom  pugnabant  maxume,  quid  in  tabernaclo  fecisti  ? 

PI.  Am.  427,  what  did’st  thou  in  the  tent  zvhat  time  the  legions  fought  their 
mightiest ?  his  libris  adnumerandi  sunt  sex  de  re  publica,  quos  turn

books  are  to  be  added  the  six  On  the  Slate ,  which  /  wrote  at  the  time  I  was 
holding  the  helm  of  state.  But  when  the  object  of  the  clause  is  not  distinctly 
to  date  the  apodosis,  its  verb  is  in  the  subjunctive  (1872). 

1866.  (3.)  The  indicative  perfect  or  present  of  vivid  narration  is 
used  with  cum,  when ,  to  date  an  apodosis  in  the  perfect  or  present  of 
vivid  narration :  as, 

‘  per  tuas  statuas  ’  vero  cum  dixit,  vehementius  risimus,  DO.  2, 

242,  but  when  he  uttered  the  words  1  by  your  statues’  we  burst  into  a  louder  laugh. 

cum  occiditur  Sex.  Roscius,  ibidem  fuerunt,  DA.  120,  when  Roscius  was 
murdered,  they  were  on  the  spot,  cum  dies  venit,  causa  ipse  pro  se  dicta, 
damnatur,  L.  4,  44,  10,  when  the  day  of  the  trial  came,  he  spoke  in  his  ozun

him  alive  when  we  came  aivay.  For  cum  primum  in  narration,  see  1925  ;  for

is  regularly  used  with  cum,  when ,  to  denote  a  momentary  action 
when  the  apodosis  denotes  continued  action:  as,

1868.  An  emphatic  indicative  clause  with  cum,  while ,  often 
follows  the  main  action. 

The  clause  with  cum  is  usually  inconsistent  with  the  main  action,  and

in  Caesar.  With  the  infinitive  of  intimation,  see  1539. 

1869.  An  indicative  clause  with  cum,  usually  expressing  sudden 
or  unexpected  action,  sometimes  contains  the  main  idea,  and  is  put

In  this  case  cum  is  often  attended  by  subito  or  repente,  suddenly ,  and 
the  first  clause  contains  iam,  already,  by  this  time,  vix,  aegre,  hardly,  vix- 
dum,  hardly  yet,  or  ndndum,  7iot  yet.  The  first  verb  is  commonly  in  the

rushed  forward.  This  use  is  very  rare  in  old  Latin.  From  Sallust  on, 
it  is  found  occasionally  with  the  infinitive  of  intimation  ([539). 

1870.  A  clause  with  cum  is  often  used  attributively  with  words  denoting 
:ime,  or  with  est,  fuit,  or  erit. 

The  mood  is  the  same  as  with  a  relative  pronoun,  sometimes  the  indica- 
ive,  and  regularly  in  old  Latin,  but  usually  the  subjunctive:  as,  fuit  quod- 
dam  tempus  cum  in  agris  homines  vagabantur,  Inv.  1,  2,  there  was  an 
7ge  of  the  world  when  men  roved  rou?id  in  the  fields  (1813,  1823).  fuit 
tempus  cum  rura  colerent  homines,  Varro,  RR.  3,  1,  1,  there  was  a  time 
when  men  dwelt  in  the  fields  (1818,  1821).  est  cum  exornatid  praetermit- 
:enda  est,  Cornif.  2,  30,  sometimes  ornamentation  should  be  avoided,  fuit 
antea  tempus,  cum  Germanos  Galli  virtute  superarent,  6,  24,  1,  there 
was  a  time  when  the  Gauls  outdid  the  Germans  in  valour.  The  subjunctive 
s  also  used  with  audio  cum  (1722),  but  with  memini  cum  the  indicative  : 
as,  saepe  ex  socero  meo  audivi,  cum  is  diceret,  DO.  2,  22,  I  have  often 
heard  my  father-m-lazv  saying,  memini  cum  mihi  desipere  videbare, 
Pam.  7,  28,  1,  I  remember  zvhen  I  thought  you  shozved  bad  taste. 

1871.  The  indicative  present  or  perfect  with  cum  is  used  in  expressions  equiva¬ 

lent  to  an  emphasized  accusative  or  ablative  of  time,  the  main  verb  being  est  or  sunt : 
is,  annl  prope  quadringenti  sunt,  cum  hoc  probatur,  O.  171,  it  is  nearly 
\four  hundred  years  that  this  has  been  liked,  ndndum  centum  et  decern  anni 
sunt,  cum  lata  lex  est,  Off.  2,  75,  it  is  not  a  hundred  and  ten  years  yet  since 
the  law  was  passed.  In  old  Latin,  the  clause  with  cum  is  made  the  subject  of  est, 
and  the  substantive  of  time  is  put  in  the  accusative  :  as,  hanc  domum  iam  multds 
annos  est  quom  possideo,  PI.  Aul.  3,  *tis  many  years  now  I  have  occupied  this 
house.  *

WITH  THE  SUBJUNCTIVE. 

1872.  The  imperfect  or  pluperfect  subjunctive  is 
used  with  temporal  cum,  when  a  subordinate  event 
is  mentioned  merely  as  one  in  a  more  or  less  com¬ 
plex  series  of  past  events  :  as, 

cum  rex  Pyrrhus  popul5  Romano  bellum  intulisset  cumque  de 
imperio  certamen  esset  cum  rege  potent!,  perfuga  ab  ed  venit  in 
castra  Fabricii,  Off.  3,  86,  king  Pyrrhus  having  made  war  on  the  Roman 
nation ,  and  there  being  a  struggle  for  sovereignty  with  a  powerful  king ,  a  de¬ 
serter  from  him  came  into  Fabricius's  camp,  eddem  tempore  Attalus  rex 
moritur  alters  et  septuagesimo  annS,  cum  quattuor  et  quadraginta  an- 
nos  regnasset,  L.  33,  21,  1,  the  same  year  Attalus  the  king  dies ,  in  his  seventy- 
second  year ,  having  reigned  forty-four  years,  hie  pagus,  cum  domS  exisset 
patrum  nostrorum  memoria,  L.  Cassium  consulem  interfecerat,  1,  12, 
5,  this  canton ,  sallying  out  from  home  in  our  fathers'  recollection,  had  put 
Cassius,  the  consul,  to  death,  nam  cum  inambularem  in  xystS,  M.  ad  me 
Brutus  venerat,  Br.  10,  for  as  I  was  pacing  tip  and  down  my  portico,  Brutus 
had  come  to  see  tne.  Antigonus  in  proelio,  cum  adversus  Seleucum  et 
Lysimachum  dlmicaret,  occisus  est,  N.  21,  3,  2,  Antigonus  was  killed  in 
battle  fighting  against  Seleucus  and  Lysimachus.  haec  cum  Crassus  dixisset, 
silentium  est  consecutum,  DO.  1,  160,  a  deep  silence  ensued  after  Crassus 
had  finished  speaking,  cum  annSs  iam  compluris  societas  esset,  moritur 
in  Gallia  Quinctius,  cum  adesset  Naevius,  Quinct.  14,  the  partnership 
having  lasted  several  years,  Quinctius  died  in  Gaul,  Naevius  being  there  at  the 
time. 

In  this  use,  as  the  examples  show,  cum  with  the  subjunctive  is  often 
equivalent  to  a  participle  or  an  ablative  absolute.  The  use  is  not  found  in 
Plautus  (1861).  Ennius  and  Terence  have  possibly  each  an  instance  (dis¬ 
puted)  of  it,  but  it  was  certainly  rare  until  the  classical  period,  when  it 
became  one  of  the  commonest  of  constructions.  It  must  not  be  confounded 
with  the  special  uses  of  the  subjunctive  mentioned  in  1859. 


i873<  The  difference  in  meaning  between  cum  with  the  indicative  and 
cum  with  the  subjunctive  may  be  illustrated  by  the  following  examples: 

Gall5  narravi,  cum  proxime  Rdmae  fui,  quid  audissem,^/A  13,49,  2,  / 

told  Callus,  when  I  was  last  in  Rome,  what  I  had  heard  (1866)..  a.  d.  ill  kal.

(1872).  cum  varices  secabantur  C.  MariS,  dolebat,  TD.  2,  ^5,  while  * 
Marius  was  having  his  varicose  veins  lanced,  he  was  in  pain  (1864).  C. 
Marius,  cum  secaretur,  ut  supra  dixi,  vetuit  se  adligari,  TD.  2,  53,  * 
Marius  being  under  the  surgeon's  knife,  as  above  mentioned,  refused  to  be  bound

himself  up,  and  while  he  was  dashing  straight  into  the  host,  have  any  thought 
op  pleasures  of  his  own  ?  (1872,  1864).

(B.)  Explanatory  and  Causal  cum. 

1874.  The  indicative  is  often  used  with  explanatory  cum  when 
the  action  of  the  protasis  is  coincident  with  that  of  the  apodosis 

0733)- 

In  this  use  cum  passes  from  the  meaning  of  when  to  that ,  in  that,  or  in 
or  by  with  a_  verbal  in  -ing:  as,  h5c  verbum  quom  ill!  quoidam  died,  prae- 
mostro  tibi,  PI.  Tri.  342,  in  laying  down  this  lesson  for  your  unknown  f  riend 
I'm  warning  you.  cum  quiescunt,  probant,  C.  1,  21,  their  inaction  is 
approval.  Denoting  the  means :  as,  tute  tibi  prddes  plurumum,  quom 
servitutem  ita  fers  ut  ferri  decet,  PI.  Cap.  371,  you  do  yourself  most  good 
by  bearing  slavery  as  it  should  be  borne.  For  similar  uses  of  quod,  quia,  and 
qui,  see  1850. 

1875.  Explanatory  cum  is  also  used  with  verbs  of  emotion ;  likewise 
with  gratulor  and  gratias  ago :  as,  quom  tu  ’s  liber,  gaudeo,  PI.  Men. 
1148,  that  you  are  free,  I'm  glad,  gratulor  tibf ,  cum  tantum  vales  apud 
Dolabellam,  Fain.  9,  14,  3,  I  give  you  joy  that  you  stand  so  zucll  with  Dola- 
bella.  tibi  maximas  gratias  ago,  cum  tantum  litterae  meae  potuerunt, 
Fam.  13,  24,  2,  I  thank  you  most  heartily  in  that  my  letter  had  such  influence. 
For  similar  uses  of  quod  and  quia,  see  1851,  1852. 

1876.  Explanatory  cum  is  also  used  in  the  sense  of  since ,  although , 
or  even  though.  In  these  meanings  it  introduces  the  indicative  in  old 
Latin  (1878) :  as, 

Denoting  cause  :  isto  tu  pauper  es,  quom  nimis  sancte  piu ’s,  PI. 
R.  1234,  that's  why  you  are  poor  yourself  ,  since  you  are  over-scrupulously  good. 
quom  hoc  non  possum,  illud  minus  possem,  T.  Ph.  208,  since  this  I 
can't,  that  even  less  could  I.  Adversative  cause :  insanire  me  aiunt, 
quom  ipsi  insaniunt,  PI.  Men.  831,  they  say  I'm  mad,  whereas  they  are  mad

B.  1005,  I  am  enough  distrusted  as  it  is,  even  though  I'm  void  of  wrong. 

1877.  cum,  since ,  although ,  even  though ,  usually 
introduces  the  subjunctive:  as, 

Denoting  cause  :  cum  in  communibus  suggestis  consistere  non 
auderet,  contionari  ex  turri  alta  solebat,  TD.  5,  59,  since  he  did  not  dare 
to  stand  up  on  an  ordinary  platform ,  he  always  did  his  speaking  from  a  lofty 
tower ,  of  Dionysius,  tyrant  of  Syracuse.  Aedui  cum  se  defendere  non 
possent,  legatos  ad  Caesarem  mittunt,  1,  11,  2,  since  the  Aeduans  could 
not  defend  themselves,  they  sent  ambassadors  to  Caesar.  Adversative  cause  : 
fuit  perpetuo  pauper,  cum  divitissimus  esse  posset,  N.  19,  1,  2.  he  was 
always  poor,  whereas  he  might  have  been  very  rich,  of  Phocion.  Pylades

the  great  Cato,  though  born  at  Tusculum,  was  received  into  the  citizenship  of 
the  Roman  nation.

1878-1882.]  Sentences :  The  Subordinate  Sentence. 


1878.  This  use  of  the  subjunctive  is  not  found  in  Plautus.  It  is  thought 
to  have  begun  in  the  time  ot  Terence,  who  may  have  a  couple  of  instances 
(disputed).  Thereafter,  it  grew  common  and  was  the  regular  mood  used 
with  explanatory  and  causal  cum  in  the  classical  period. 

1879.  Explanatory  cum  is  sometimes  introduced  by  quippe,  rarely  by  ut 
pote,  naturally :  as, 

turn  vero  gravior  cura  patribus  incessit,  quippe  cum  prodi 
causam  ab  suis  cernerent,  L.  4,  57,  10,  then  the  senators  -were  still  more 
seriously  concerned ,  and  ?iaticrally  enough ,  since  they  beheld  their  cause  betrayed 
by  their  own  people,  valetudo,  e  qua  iam  emerseram,  ut  pote  cum  sine 
febrl  laborassem,  Att.  5,  8,  1,  an  illness  from  which  I  had  already  recovered , 
naturally ,  since  it  was  unaccompanied  by  fever,  quippe  cum  occurs  in  Cicero, 
Nepos,  and  Livy  ;  ut  pote  cum  is  used  twice  in  Cicero’s  letters,  and  in  late  writers. 
For  quippe  and  ut  pote  with  a  causal  relative,  see  1827. 

1880.  The  adversative  idea  is  often  emphasized  by  the  use  of  tamen  in 
the  main  clause :  as,  cum  primi  ordines  hostium  concidissent,  tamen 
acerrime  reliqul  resistebant,  7,  62,  4,  though  the  front  ranks  of  the  enemy 
had  fallen ,  yet  the  rest  made  a  most  spirited  resistance. 

(C.)  cum  .  .  .  turn. 

1881.  A  protasis  with  cum  is  often  followed  by  an  emphatic  apo- 
dosis  introduced  by  turn. 

The  protasis  denotes  what  is  general  or  common  or  old;  the  apodosis 
what  is  special  or  strange  or  new.  In  classical  Latin  turn  is  often  empha¬ 
sized  by  maxime,  in  primis,  verb,  &c. 

The  mood  with  cum  is  regularly  indicative  in  old  Latin,  and  usually 
when  the  time  of  the  two  verbs  is  identical :  as,  quom  mihi  paveo,  turn 
Antipho  me  excruciat  animi,  T.  Ph.  187,  whilst  for  myself  I  tremble,  Anti- 
pho  puts  me  in  a  perfect  agony  of  soul,  cum  collegae  levavit  infamiam, 
turn  sib!  gloriam  ingentem  peperit,  L.  6,  25,  6,  he  relieved  his  colleague 
from  disgrace ,  and  what  is  more  he  won  vughty  glory  for  himself.  Less  tre- 
quently  the  subjunctive,  and  usually  when  the  verbs  refer  to  different  periods 
of  time :  as,  cum  te  a  pueritia  tua  dilexerim,  turn  hoc  multo  acrius  di- 
ligo,  Fam.  15,  9,  1,  I  have  always  loved,  you  from  your  boyhood ,  but  for  this  I 
love  you  with  afar  intenser  love.  By  abridgement  of  the  sentence  (1057)*  cum 
.  .  .  turn  come  to  be  copulative  conjunctions  (1687)-'  as,  movit  patres 
conscrlptos  cum  causa  turn  auctor,  L.  9?  L  both  the  cause  and  its  sup¬ 
porter  touched  the  conscript  fathers. 


quoniam. 

1882.  quoniam,  compounded  of  quom  and  iam,  when  now ,  refers 
primarily  to  time,  but  is  seldom  so  used  and  only  by  early  writers. 
The  temporal  meaning  passed  early  into  an  exclusively  causal  mean¬ 
ing,  since.  In  both  meanings  it  regularly  introduces  the  indicatiye 
(1721).  For  special  reasons,  however,  the  subjunctive  is  used,  as  in 
indirect  discourse  (1725),  or  by  attraction  (1728).

Conjunctional  Sentences  :  quotiens.  [1883-1887 


1883.  (1.)  quoniam,  when  now,  used  of  time  in  early  Latin,  has  some¬ 
times  as  a  correlative  continuo,  subitd,  or  extemplo  ;  it  usually  introduces 
the  present  indicative  (1590):  as, 

is  quoniam  moritur,  numquam  indicare  id  filio  voluit  suo,  PI.  Aid.  9, 
when  he  was  on  his  dying  bed,  he  ne'er  would  point  it  out  to  his  own  son ,  of  a 
hidden  treasure,  quoniam  sentiS  quae  res  gereretur,  navem  extemplS 

statuimus,  PI.  B.  290,  when  now  /  saw  what  was  doing ,  we  stopped  the  ship 

at  once. 

1884.  (2.)  quoniam.  since ,  seeing  that ,  now  that ,  with  the  indica¬ 
tive,  introduces  a  reason,  usually  one  known  to  the  person  addressed, 
or  one  generally  known  :  as, 

vera  dico,  sed  nequiquam,  quoniam  n5n  vis  credere,  PI.  Am.  S35, 
the  truth  I  speak,  but  all  in  vain,  since  thou  wilt  not  believe,  vos,  Quirites,

i  since  it  is  now  grown  dark,  depart  and  go  to  your  own  several  homes,  quoniam 
in  earn  rationem  vitae  nds  fSrtuna  deduxit,  ut  sempiternus  serm5  de

zualk  of  life  that  we  are  to  be  eternally  talked  about ,  let  us  be  on  our  guard. 
Often  in  transition:  as,  quoniam  de  genere  belli  dixi,  nunc  de  magnitu- 
dine  pauca  dicam,  IP.  20,  since  I  have  finished  speaking  about  the  character 
of  the  zuar,  I  will  now  speak  briefly  about  its  extent.  With  the  subjunctive  in 
indirect  discourse  (1725)  :  as,  crebris  Pompei  litteris  castigabantur,  quo¬ 
niam  primS  venientem  Caesarem  n5n  pro'nibuissent,  Caes.  C.  3,  25,  3,

o 


quotiens,  quotienscumque. 

1885.  The  relative  particle  quotiens  (71 1),  or  quotienscumque, 

every  time  that,  whenever ,  introduces  the  indicative:  as, 

quotiens  quaeque  cohors  procurrerat,  magnus  numerus  hostium 

cadebat,  5,  34,  2,  as  the  cohorts  successively  charged,  a  great  number  of  the 
enemy  fell  every  time.  quoius  quotiens  sepulcrum  vides,  sacruficas, 
PI.  JS.  i75>  every  time  you  see  her  tomb,  you  offer  sacrifice,  nec  quotiens¬ 
cumque  me  viderit,  ingemiscet,  Sest.  146,  neither  shall  he  fall  a-groaning 
zuhenever  he  sees  me  (1736). 

1886.  quotiens  has  sometimes  as  a  correlative  totiens,  or  a  combination 
with  tot  which  is  equivalent  to  totiens  :  as,  quotiens  dicimus,  totiens  de 
nobis  iudicatur,  DO.  1,  125,  every  time  we  make  a  speech,  the  zuorld  sits  in 
Judgement  on  us.  si  tot  cSnsulibus  meruisset,  quotiens  ipse  consul  fuit, 

Bulb.  47,  if  he  had  been  in  the  army  as  many  years  as  he  was  consul. 

1887.  The  subjunctive  imperfect  and  pluperfect  are  common  in  the  later  writers 
to  indicate  repeated  action  (1730):  as,  quotiens  super  tali  negotio  cbnsul- 
taret,  edita  domus  parte  ac  liberti  unius  conscientia  utebatur,  Ta.

quam. 

1888.  quam,  as  or  than ,  introduces  an  indicative  protasis  in 
periods  of  comparison.  For  special  reasons,  however,  the  subjunctive 
is  used,  as  by  attraction  (1728),  or  of  action  conceivable  (1731)  ;  see 
also  1896,  1897. 

But  usually  periods  of  comparison  are  abridged  (1057)  by  the  omission 
of  the  verb  or  of  other  parts  in  the  protasis  (1325). 

With  the  Indicative. 

1889.  (1.)  quam,  as,  is  used  in  the  protasis  of  a  comparative 
period  of  equality,  generally  with  tarn  as  correlative  in  the  apo- 
dosis  :  as, 

tarn  facile  vinces  quam  pirum  volpes  comest,  PL  Most.  559,  you  'll 

beat  as  easily  as  Reynard  eats  a  pear,  tarn  excoctam  reddam  atque  atram 
quam  carbost,  T.  Ad.  849,  I'll  have  her  stewed  all  out  and  black  as  is  a  coal. 
From  Cicero  on,  the  apodosis  is  in  general  negative  or  interrogative :  as, 
quorum  neutrum  tarn  facile  quam  tu  arbitraris  conceditur,  Div.  1,  10, 
neither  of  these  points  is  as  readily  granted  as  you.  suppose,  quid  est  dratori 
tarn  necessarium  quam  v5x  ?  DO.  1,  251,  what  is  so  indispensable  to  the 
speaker  as  voice  ?  Otherwise  non  minus  .  .  .  quam,  no  less  than ,  just  as 
much ,  or  n5n  magis  .  .  .  quam,  just  as  little  or  just  as  much ,  is  often  pre¬ 
ferred  to  tarn  .  .  .  quam  :  as,  accept  non  minus  interdum  dratorium 
esse  tacere  quam  dicere,  Plin.  Ep.  7,  6,  7, 1  have  observed  that  silence  is  some¬ 
times  quite  as  eloquent  as  speech,  non  magis  mihl  deerit  inimicus  quam 
Verri  defuit,  V.  3,  162,  I  shall  lack  an  enemy  as  little  as  Verres  did.  domus 
erat  non  domino  magis  ornamento  quam  civitati,  V.  4,  5,  the  house  was 
as  much  a  pride  to  the  state  as  to  its  owner. 

1890.  Instead  of  tarn,  another  correlative  is  sometimes  used  in  the  apodosis. 
Thus,  aeque  .  .  .  quam  occurs  in  Plautus  and  in  Livy  and  later  writers,  generally 
after  a  negative  expression  ;  perinde  .  .  .  quam  in  Tacitus  and  Suetonius  ;  iuxta 
.  .  .  quam  once  in  Livy.  Sometimes  the  apodosis  contains  no  correlative. 

1891.  tarn  .  .  .  quam  become  by  abridgement  coordinating  words :  as, 

tarn  vera  quam  falsa  cernimus,  Ac.  2,  hi,  we  make  out  things  both  true 

and  false. 

i8g2.  The  highest  possible  degree  is  expressed  by  tarn  .  .  .  quam  qui 
and  a  superlative  without  a  verb;  or  by  quam  and  a  superlative  with  or

quam  cui  possit  F5rtuna  nocere,  O.  6,  195,  too  strong  am  I  for  Fortune  to 
break  down ,  says  infatuated  Niobe.  All  these  sentences  are  extensions  of 
the  subjunctive  of  action  conceivable  (15 54,  1818). 

1897.  The  subjunctive  is  used  in  clauses  introduced  by  potius  quam, 
rather  than,  to  denote  action  merely  assumed,  citius,  ante,  or  prius,  sooner ,

I  will  submit  to  the  charge  of  inconsistency  rather  than  be  cruel  towards  you. 
animam  omittunt  prius  quam  loco  demigrent,  PI.  Am.  240,  they  lose  their 
lives  sooner  than  yield  their  ground.  Livy  has  also  potius  quam  ut.  All 
these  sentences  a~e  extensions  of  the  subjunctive  of  desire  (1540,  1817). 

With  the  Infinitive. 

1898.  When  the  main  clause  is  an  infinitive,  quam  is  often  followed  by 
an  infinitive  :  as, 

malim  moriri  meos  quam  mendlcarier,  PL  Vid.  96,  better  my  bairns 
be  dead  than  begging  bread,  voces  audiebantur  prius  se  cortice  ex  arbo-

Pom pey  slip  through  their  f  tigers. 


quamquam. 

1899.  (1)  quamquam  is  used  in  old  Latin  as  an  indefinite  adverb,  ever 

so  much,  however  much  :  as,

umquam  amic5  operam  dare,  PI.  Mer.  287,  however  busy  I  may  be  (1814),

aid  to  lend.  id  quoque  possum  ferre,  quamquam  iniuriumst,  T.  Ad. 

205,  that  also  I  can  bear,  however  so  unfair.  From  an  adverb,  quamquam 
became  a  conjunction,  although. 

1900.  (2.)  quamquam,  although,  introduces  the  indicative  in  the 
concession  of  a  definite  fact.  In  the  later  writers  it  is  also  sometimes 
used  with  the  subjunctive,  sometimes  with  a  participle  or  an  adjec¬ 
tive  :  as,

[uam  fingi  ea  intellegeret,  Ta.  2,  26,  Germanicus  did  not  delay,  though  he

quam  vis  or  quamvis. 

1903.  quam  vis  or  quamvis  is  used  as  an  indefinite  adverb  (712),  as 
nuch  as  you  please,  and  is  often  joined  with  an  adjective  or  other  adverb  to 
ake  the  place  of  a  superlative  :  as, 

quam  vis  ridiculus  est,  ub!  uxor  non  adest,  PI.  Men.  318,  he’s  as  droll 
is  you  please  when  his  wife  is  n't  by.  quamveis  insipiens  poterat  persen-

adverb,  quam  vis  became  a  conjunction,  however  much,  even  if. 

1905.  (2.)  The  subjunctive  with  the  conjunction  quamvis,  how¬ 
ever  much ,  even  if,  though ,  denotes  action  merely  assumed  ;  when  the 
action  is  to  be  denoted  as  real,  ut  or  sicut  or  the  like,  with  the 
indicative,  usually  follows  in  the  best  prose  (1943)  :  as, 

(a.)  quamvis  sint  homines  qui  Cn.  Carbonem  oderint,  tamen  hi 
debent  quid  metuendum  sit  cogitare,  V.  1,  39,  though  there  may  be  men

enim  possis,  quamvis  excellas,  L.  73,  you  may  not  have  the  power,  however 
eminent  you  may  be.  This  use  begins  with  Cicero  and  Varro,  and  gets  com¬ 
mon  in  late  writers.  Not  in  Livy,  (b.)  ilia  quamvis  ridicula  essent, 
sicut  erant,  mihi  tamen  risum  non  mSverunt,  Earn.  7,  32,  3,  droll  as  this

dicat  Epicurus,  sicuti  dicit,  satis  fortiter  de  dolore,  tamen  non  id  spec- 
tandum  est  quid  dicat,  Off.  3,  117,  even  though  Epicurus  really  does  speak  in 
many  places  pretty  heroically  about  pain,  still  we  must  not  have  an  eye  to  what 
he  says.  In  the  Augustan  poets  rarely,  and  often  in  Tacitus,  the  younger 
Pliny,  and  late  writers,  the  subjunctive,  without  a  parenthetical  phrase  intro¬ 
duced  by  ut  or  the  like,  is  used  of  an  action  denoted  as  real :  as,  expalluit 
notabiliter,  quamvis  palleat  semper,  Plin.  Ep.  1,  5,  13,  he  grew  pale  per¬ 
ceptibly,  though  he  is  always  a  pale  man.  maestus  erat,  quamvis  laetitiam 
simularet,  Ta.  15,  54,  sad  he  was,  though  he  pretended  to  be  gay. 

1906.  quamvis,  even  if,  though,  is  also  sometimes  used  with  the  indica¬

erat  dignitate  regia,  quamvis  carebat  nomine,  N.  1,  2,  3,  he  had  the 

authority  of  a  king,  though  not  the  title,  quamvis  tacet  Hermogenes,  can¬ 
tor  est,  H.  S.  1,  3,  129,  though  he  open  not  his  mouth,  Hermogenes  remains  a 
singer  still.  This  use  occurs  twice  in  Lucretius,  once  in  Cicero,  Nepos,  and 
Livy  each,  in  Varro,  in  the  Augustan  poets,  and  sometimes  in  late  writers. 
Not  in  Tacitus,  Pliny  the  younger,  Juvenal,  Martial,  or  Suetonius. 

1907.  It  may  be  mentioned  here  that  the  indefinite  adverb  quamlibet,  how¬ 
ever  you  please,  is  used  in  subjunctive  clauses  of  concession  or  permission  (1904)  once 
or  twice  by  Lucretius  and  Quintilian.  Ovid  uses  it  with  the  participle,  a  con¬

antequam,  priusquam. 

1911.  antequam  and  priusquam  accompany  both  the  indicative

ante  and  prius  properly  belong  to  the  apodosis,  and  regularly  stand 
with  it  if  it  is  negative  ;  but  otherwise  they  are  usually  attracted  to  the 
protasis. 

antequam  is  very  seldom  found  in  old  Latin,  and  it  is  in  general  much 
rarer  than  priusquam,  except  in  Tacitus.

thus,  providentia,  per  quam  futurum  aliquid  videtur  antequam  factum 
sit,  Inv.  2,  160,  foresight  is  the  faculty  through  which  a  future  event  is  seen  before 
it  has  taken  place. 

1914.  In  general  past  statements  antequam  and  priusquam  introduce  the 
subjunctive  imperfect  or  pluperfect ;  but  this  use  is  very  rare:  as,  dormire  prius¬ 
quam  somm  cupldd  esset,  S.  C.  13,  3,  a-sleeping  always  before  they  felt  sleepy. 
ita  saepe  magna  indoles  virtutis,  priusquam  r6i  publicae  prddesse 
potuisset,  extincta  est,  Ph.  5,  47,  thus  character  of  unusual  promise  was 
oftentimes  cut  off,  before  it  could  do  the  government  any  good. 


IN  PARTICULAR  STATEMENTS. 

1915.  In  particular  present  or  future  statements,  antequam 
and  priusquam  introduce  a  present,  either  indicative  or  sub¬ 
junctive;  in  future  statements  the  future  perfect  is  also  used, 
and  regularly  when  the  main  verb  is  future  perfect :  as, 

antequam  ad  sententiam  redeo,  de  me  pauca  dicam,  C.  4,  20,  before  I 
come  back  to  the  motion ,  I  will  say  a  little  about  myself  { 1593).  est  etiam 
prius  quam  abis  quod  volo  loqui,  PI.  As.  232,  there’s  something  else  I  want 
to  say  before  you  go.  antequam  veniat  in  Pontum,  litteras  ad  Cn.  Pom- 
peium  mittet,  Agr.  2,  53,  before  he  reaches  Pontus,  he  will  send  a  letter  to 
Portipey.  prius  quam  ad  portam  venias,  est  pistrllla,  T.  Ad.  583,  there’s 
a  little  bakery  just  before  you  get  to  the  gate,  nihil  contra  disputabo  prius¬ 
quam  dixerit,  FI.  51,  I  will  not  argue  to  the  contrary  before  he  has  spoken 
(1626).  neque  prius,  quam  debellavero,  absistam,  L.  49,39,9,  and  I  will 
not  leave  off  before  I  have  brought  the  war  to  an  end.  si  quid  mill!  accident 
priusquam  hoc  tantum  mall  viderd,  Mil.  99,  if  anything  shall  befall  me  be¬ 
fore  I  see  this  great  calamity.  neque  prdmitto  quicquam  neque  re¬ 
sponded  prius  quam  gnatum  viderd,  T.  Ph.  1044,  I’m  not  promising 
anything  nor  making  any  answer  before  I  see  my  son  (1593).  Tacitus  uses 
neither  the  present  indicative  nor  the  future  perfect. 

1916.  In  old  Latin  the  future  and  the  perfect  subjunctive  also  occur  :  as, 

prius  quam  quoiquam  convlvae  dabis,  gustato  tute  prius,  PI.  Ps.  885, 

before  you  help  a  single  guest,  taste  first  yourself ;  but  Terence  does  not  use 
the  future,  and  it  is  found  only  once  or  twice  later,  nullo  pacto  potest 
prius  haec  in  aedis  recipi,  quam  illam  amiserim,  PI.  AIG.  1095,  0,1  110 
terms  can  I  take  my  new  love  to  the  house,  before  I’ve  let  the  old  love  drop  ;  but 
usually  the  perfect  subjunctive  is  due  to  indirect  discourse. 

1917.  In  particular  past  statements  antequam  and  prius¬ 
quam  introduce  the  perfect  indicative,  especially  when  the 
apodosis  is  negative  ;  or,  less  frequently,  an  imperfect  subjunc¬ 
tive  :  as,

omnia  ista  ante  facta  sunt  quam  iste  Italiam  attigit,  V.  2,  161,  all 
these  incidents  occurred  before  the  defendant  set  foot  in  Italy,  neque  prius 
fugere  destiterunt  quam  ad  Rhenum  pervenerunt,  1, 53, 1,  and  they  did  not 
stay  their  flight  before  they  fairly  arrived  at  the  Rhine,  prius  quam  hinc 
abut  quindecim  miles  minas  dederat,  PI.  Ps.  53,  the  captain  had  paid 
down  fifteeti  minae  before  he  left  here,  antequam  consules  in  Etruriam 
pervenirent,  Galli  venerunt,  L.  10,  26,  7,  before  the  consuls  arrived  in  Etru¬ 
ria, ,  the  Gauls  came.  This  use  of  the  imperfect  subjunctive,  not  to  be  con¬ 
founded  with  that  mentioned  in  1919,  is  not  found  in  old  Latin,  Cicero,  or 
Caesar.  It  is  not  uncommon  in  Livy. 

1918.  The  present  indicative  also  occurs  in  particular  past  statements  in  old 
Latin  :  as,  is  priusquam  moritur  mihi  dedit,  PI.  Cu.  637,  before  he  died  he 
gave  it  me.  The  indicative  imperfect  occurs  four  times  in  Livy  and  once  in  late 
Latin,  the  pluperfect  once  in  old  Latin  and  once  in  Cicero. 

igig.  When  the  action  did  not  occur,  or  when  purpose  is  expressed, 
priusquam  regularly  introduces  the  imperfect  subjunctive  in  particular  past 
statements :  as, 

(a.)  plerique  interfecti  sunt,  priusquam  occultum  hostem  viderent, 

L.  35,  29,  3,  most  of  them  were  slain  before  they  could  see  the  hidden  enemy. 
This  use  is  not  found  in  old  Latin.  It  occurs  chiefly  in  Livy,  but  also  in 
later  writers.  (/>.)  pervenit  priusquam  Pompeius  sentire  posset,  Caes. 
C.  3,  67,  4,  he  arrived  before  Pompey  should  be  able  to  learn  of  his  coming  (1725). 
The  present  and  perfect  subjunctive  occur  rarely,  generally  when  the  main 
clause  contains  a  present  of  vivid  narration  (1590).  The  imperfect  is  not 
found  in  old  Latin. 

1920.  The  perfect  indicative  or  imperfect  subjunctive  with  antequam  is 
o«ften  used  attributively  with  nouns  denoting  time :  as, 

fabulam  docuit,  annd  ipso  ante  quam  natus  est  Ennius,  Br.  72,  he 

exhibited  a  play  just  a  year  before  Ennius  was  born,  ducentis  annis  ante 
quam  Rdmam  caperent,  in  Italiam  Galli  transcenderunt,  L.  5,33,  5 ,lwo 
hundred  years  before  they  took  Rome ,  the  Gauls  crossed  over  to  Italy.  The  plu¬ 
perfect  also  occurs,  when  the  main  verb  is  pluperfect :  as,  Staienus  biennio 
antequam  causam  recepisset,  sescentis  millibus  nummum  se  iudicium 
conrupturum  dixerat,  Clu.  63,  Stajenus  had  said  two  years  before  he  under¬ 
took  the  case ,  that  he  would  bribe  the  court  for  six  hundred  thousand  sesterces. 

ig2i.  The  pluperfect  subjunctive  is  rarely  introduced  by  antequam  or 
priusquam  except  in  indirect  discourse  :  as, 

antequam  de  meo  adventu  audire  potuissent,  in  Macedoniam  per- 
rexi,  Pi.  98,  before  they  should  be  able  to  hear  of  my  arrival ,  I  proceeded  to 
Macedonia  (1725).  avertit  equos  in  castra  priusquam  pabula  gustassent 
Troiae  Xanthumque  bibissent,  V.  1,472,  he  drave  the  horses  off  to  camp ,  or 
ever  they  should  taste  of  Tr oja’s  grass  and  Xanthus  drink  (1725). 

1922.  It  may  be  mentioned  here  that  postrldie  quam  and  pridie  quam 
occur  a  few  times  in  Plautus  and  Cicero  with  the  indicative ;  postridie  quam  with 
the  indicative  in  Suetonius  ;  and  pridie  quam  with  the  subjunctive  in  Livy,  Valerius 
Maximus,  and  Suetonius.

1923.  With  postea  quam,  postquam  (posquam),_<7/?<?r,  the  following 
words  may  conveniently  be  treated  :  ubi,  ut,  when ;  ubi  primum,  ut  pri¬ 
mum,  cum  primum,  when  first,  and  in  Plautus  cum  extemplo ;  simul 
atque  (or  ac,  less  frequently  et  or  ut,  or  simul  alone),  at  the  same  time  with, 
as  soon  as. 

postquam,  ubi,  ut,  cum  primum,  simul  atque,  accom¬ 
pany  the  indicative. 

For  examples  of  the  use  of  tenses,  see  1924-1934. 

1924.  In  clauses  introduced  by  postea  quam  or  postquam,  the  imperfect 
or  pluperfect  subjunctive  is  rarely  used,  yhjefly  by  Cicero,  not  in  old  Latin  : 
as,  qul  postea  quam  maximas  aedificasset  classes  et  se  Bosporanls 
bellum  Inferre  simularet,  legatos  mlsit,  IP.  9,  after  building  enormous fleets, 
pretending  he  was  going  to  make  war  on  the  Bosporani,  he  sent  envoys.  So  once  or 
twice  in  clauses  introduced  by  ubi.  The  subjunctive  is  also  used  for  special  rea¬ 
sons,  as  with  the  indefinite  second  person  (1731),  by  attraction  (1728),  and  in  indi¬ 
rect  discourse  (1725).  For  the  subjunctive  of  repeated  past  action  with  ubf  and  ut, 
see  1932.  The  infinitive  of  intimation  occurs  in  Tacitus  (1539):  as,  postquam 
exul  aequalitas,  prSvenere  dominatibnes,  Ta.  3,  26,  after  equality  between 
man  and  man  was  dropped ,  there  came  a  crop  of  tyrants. 

1925.  In  narration  the  perfect  indicative  is  regularly  used 
in  clauses  introduced  by  postquam,  ubi,  ut,  cum  primum, 
simul  atque  (1739)  :  as, 

postquam  tuas  litteras  leg!,  Postumia  tua  me  convenit,  Fam.  4,  2,  1, 

after  I  read  your  letter ,  your  Postumia  called  on  me.  postquam  aurum 

abstulimus,  in  navem  conscendimus,  PL  B.  277,  after  we  got  azvay  the 
money,  we  took  ship,  ubi  ad  ipsum  venl  devorticulurn,  constitl,  T.  Eii. 
635,  when  I  came  exactly  to  the  side  street ,  I  pulled  up.  ubi  se  diutius  duel 
intellexit,  graviter  e5s  accusat,  1,  16,  5,  when  he  came  to  see  that  he  was  put 
off  a  good  while,  he  takes  them  roundly  to  task,  qul  ut  peroravit,  surrexit 
Clodius,  QFr.  2,  3,  2,  when  he  had  finished  speaking,  up  jumped  Clodius.  ut 
abii  abs  te,  fit  forte  obviam  mihi  PhormiS,  T.  Ph.  617,  when  I  left  you, 
Phormio  happened  to  fall  in  my  way.  crimen  eius  modi  est,  ut,  cum  pri¬

charge  is  of  such  a  sort  that,  when  first  it  was  reported  to  me,  I  thought  I  should 
not  use  it.  cum  primum  Cretae  litus  attigit,  nuntiSs  mlsit,  L.  37,  60,  4. 
as  soon  as  he  touched  the  shore  of  Crete,  he  sent  messengers,  ut  primum  loqul 
posse  coepl,  inquam,  RP.  6,  15,  as  soon  as  I  began  to  be  able  to  speak,  I  said. 
quern  simul  atque  oppidanl  conspexerunt,  murum  complere  coeperunt, 
7,  12,  5,  as  soon  as  the  garrison  espied  him ,  they  began  to  man  the  wall,  at 
hostes,  ubi  primum  nostrbs  equites  conspexerunt,  impetu  facto  cele-

Conjunctional  Sentences:  postquam.  [1927--1930. 


postquam  iam  pueri  septuennes  sunt,  pater  oneravit  navim  mag- 
nam,  PI.  Men.  prol.  24,  after  the  bovs  were  seven  year  olds ,  their  father  freighted 
a  big  ship,  quid  ait,  ubi  me  nominas,  T.  Han.  303,  what  say eth  she  when 
you  name  me  1  ubi  neutri  transeundi  initium  faciunt,  Caesar  subs  in 
castra  reduxit,  2,  9,  2,  neither  party  taking  the  initiative  in  crossing ,  Caesar 
marched  his  men  back  to  camp.  Verbs  of  perceiving,  especially  video,  occur 
oftenest  in  this  use,  which  is  common  in  Plautus  and  Terence :  as,  postquam 
videt  nuptias  adparari,  missast  ancilla  llico,  T.  Andr.  513,  ap ter  she  sees 
a  marriage  on  foot,  her  maid  is  sent  forthwith,  abed  ab  illls,  postquam 
video  me  ludificarier,  Pi.  Cap.  487,  seeing  myself  made  game  of  I  leave  them. 
quern  postea  quam  videt  non  adesse,  ardere  atque  furere  coepit,  V.  2, 
92,  seeing  that  the  man  does  not  appear,  he  began  to  rage  and  fume,  ubi  hoc 
videt,  init  consilium  importunl  tyrannl,  V-  5>  I03>  seeing  this,  he  adopted 
the  policy  of  a  savage  tyrant.  Plautus  uses  also  cum  extemplo.  Such 
protases  often  take  on  a  causal  sense  (see  also  1930). 

1927.  The  present  or  perfect  with  postquam  or  ut  is  sometimes  used  in  ex¬ 
pressions  equivalent  to  an  emphasized  accusative  or  ablative  of  time,  the  main  verb 
being  est  or  sunt  :  as,  septingenti  sunt  anni  postquam  inclita  condita 
Roma  est,  E.  in  Varro,  RR.  3,  1,  2,  His  seven  hundred  years  since  glorious  Rome 
was  founded,  domo  ut  abierunt  hie  tertius  annus,  PI.  St.  29,  this  is  the 
third  year  since  they  left  home,  annus  est  octavus  ut  imperium  obtines, 
Ta.  14,  53,  it  is  the  eighth  year  since  you  acquired  empire,  t  or  a  similar  use  of 
cum,  see  1871. 

1928.  The  pluperfect  with  postquam,  denoting  resulting  state  (1615), 
occurs  less  frequently  :  as, 

turn  cum  P.  Africanus,  postea  quam  bis  consul  fuerat,  L.  Cottam  in 
iudicium  vocabat,  Caecil.  69,  at  the  time  when  Africanus ,  after  he  had  twice 
been  consul,  was  bringing  Cotta  to  judgement,  postquam  omnium  oculos 
occupaverat  certamen,  turn  aversam  adoriuntur  Romanam  aciem,  L. 
22,  48,  4,  when  every  eye  was  fairly  riveted  on  the  engagement,  that  instant  they 
fell  upon  the  Romans  in  the  rear.  Not  in  Plautus,  once  in  Terence,  and 
rare  in  classical  writers. 

1929.  The  pluperfect,  less  frequently  the  perfect,  with  postquam  is  used 
attributively  with  nouns  denoting  time. 

In  this  use  post  is  often  separated  from  quam,  and  two  constructions 
are  possible  :  (a  )  Ablative :  anno  post  quam  vota  erat  aedes  Monetae 
dedicatur,  L.  7,  28,  6,  the  temple  of  Moneta  is  dedicated  a  year  after  it  was 
vowed.  Without  post :  quadringentesimo  anno  quam  urbs  Romana  con¬ 
dita  erat,  patricii  consules  magistratum  iniere,  L.  7,  18,  r,  four  hundred 
years  after  Rome  town  was  founded,  patrician  consuls  entered  into  office, 
(b.)  Accusative,  with  an  ordinal,  and  post  as  a  preposition,  or,  sometimes, 
intra :  post  diem  tertium  gesta  res  est  quam  dixerat,  Mil.  44,  the  deed 
7 vas  done  the  next  day  but  one  after  he  said  it.  See  2419. 

1930.  The  imperfect  with  postquam  expresses  action  continuing 
into  the  time  of  the  main  action.  Such  a  protasis,  especially  when 
negative,  usually  denotes  the  cause  of  the  main  action :  as, 

Appius,  postquam  nemo  adibat,  domum  se  recepit,  L.  3,  46,  9, 

Appius  finding  that  nobody  presented  himself,  went  back  home,  postea  quam 
e  scaena  explodebatur,  confugit  in  huius  domum,  RC.  30,  after  being 
repeatedly  hissed  off  the  stage,  he  took  refuge  in  my  client's  house.

In  old  Latin  this  use  is  found  only  once,  in  Plautus;  it  is  most  common 
in  Livy,  but  occurs  frequently  in  Tacitus.  So  occasionally  the  present, 
generally  when  the  main  action  is  present  (see  also  1926) :  as,  postquam 
nec  ab  Romanis  v5bis  ulla  est  spes,  nec  vos  moenia  defendunt,  pacem 
adfexo  ad  vos,  L.  21,  13,  4,  now  that  it  has  become  plain  that  you  have  no  hope 
from  the  Romans,  and  that  your  walls  are  no  protection  to  you,  I  bring  peace

vincitur,  V.  5,  103,  he  knows  that  all  this  is  fruitless ,  now  that  he  is  being  re¬ 
futed  by  witnesses.  The  perfect  with  postquam  or  ut  occurs  occasionally 
in  this  use  with  the  present  in  the  main  clause  :  as,  animus  in  tut5  locost, 
postquam  iste  hinc  abut,  PI.  Ps.  1052,  my  mind  is  easy ,  now  that  fellow's 
gone,  nam  ut  in  navi  vecta’s,  credS  timida’s,  PI.  B.  106,  for  after  your 
voyage,  of  course  you  're  nervous. 

1931.  postquam  and  ut  have  sometimes  the  meaning  of  ever  since  or  as 
long  as :  as, 

postquam  natus  sum,  satur  numquam  ful,  PI.  St.  156,  since  I  was  born

ubi,  ut,  simul  atque. 

1932.  ub!,  ut,  or  simul  atque  often  introduces  a  clause  denoting

hostes,  ub!  aliquos  singulares  conspexerant,  adoriebantur,  4,  26,  2, 
every  time  the  enemy  saw  some  detached  parties,  they  would  charge.  The  im¬ 
perfect  in  this  use  is  not  common  in  classical  writers,  and  occurs  but  once, 
with  ubi,  in  old  Latin ;  the  pluperfect  is  rare  before  the  silver  age.  Clauses 
with  ut  generally  contain  some  form  of  quisque  (2396).  Plautus  uses  cum 
extemplb  with  the  present  and  perfect.  The  subjunctive  is  found  with 
ubi  and  ut  quisque  in  cases  of  repeated  past  action  (1730). 

1933.  ubi,  ut,  or  simul  atque  rarely  introduces  an  imperfect  or  pluper¬

simul  et  quid  erit  certi,  scribam  ad  te,  Att.  2,  20,  2,  as  soon  as  there  is 
anything  positive,  I  will  write  to  you.  ego  ad  te  statim  habebo  quod  scri¬ 
bam,  simul  ut  viderb  Curionem,  Att.  10,  4,  12,  I  shall  have  something  to 
write  you,  as  soo?i  as  ever  I  see  Curio,  nam  ubi  me  aspiciet,  ad  carnuficem 
rapiet  continud  senex,  PL  B.  688,  when  the  old  man  sees  me,  he  ’ll  hurry  me 
off  to  Jack  Ketch  without  any  ado.  ubi  primum  poterit,  se  illinc  sub- 
ducet,  T.  Eu.  628,  she'll  steal  away  as  soon  as  she  can.  Plautus  has  also  cum 
extempld  in  this  use.

uti  or  ut. 

1935.  The  relative  adverb  uti  or  ut  (71 1)  is  found  in  the  oldest 
Latin  in  the  form  utei,  but  ut  was  the  prevalent  form  even  in  the  time 
of  Plautus.  As  a  conjunctive  particle,  it  accompanies  both  the  indica¬ 
tive  and  the  subjunctive. 

WITH  THE  INDICATIVE. 

(A.)  ut,  where. 

1936.  uti  or  ut  in  the  rare  signification  of  7vhcre ,  accompanies  the  indicative:  as, 
atque  in  eopse  adstas  lapide,  ut  praecd  praedicat,  PI.  B.  815,  and  there 
you  stand  right  on  the  auction  block,  just  where  the  crier  always  cries,  sive  in  ex- 
tremds  penetrabit  IndSs,  litus  ut  longe  resonante  E5a  tunditur  unda, 
Cat.  11,  2,  or  shall  he  pierce  to  farthest  Ind ,  whereby  the  long-resounding  eastern 
wave  the  strand  is  lashed.  In  classical  Latin,  ut  in  this  sense  is  used  only  by  the 
poets,  as  here  and  there  in  Lucilius,  Catullus,  Cicero’s  Aratea,  Vergil,  and  Ovid, 
ubi  is  the  word  regularly  used.  For  ut,  when,  see  1923. 

(B.)  ut,  as. 

I937*  The  indicative  is  used  in  the  protasis  of  a  comparative 
period  introduced  by  uti  or  ut,  as. 

ut  often  has  as  a  correlative  ita,  item,  itidem,  sic,  perinde,  or  simili¬ 
ter,  and  sometimes  in  old  Latin  and  poetry  aeque,  adaeque,  pariter,  non 
aliter,  non  secus,  idem,  sic  is  sometimes  drawn  to  the  protasis,  making 
sicuti,  sicut ;  uti  is  sometimes  strengthened  by  vel,  making  veluti,  velut, 
even  as,  just  as.  quemadmodum  often,  and  quomodo  sometimes,  stands 
for  ut.  In  old  Latin,  the  correlative  is  omitted  only  in  sentences  which 
have  the  appearance  of  an  indirect  question  (1791).  For  coordinated  com¬ 
parative  sentences  without  ut,  see  1704.

dux  belli  pravus  fuit,  L.  1,  53,  1,  but  while  he  was  an  unjust  king  in  peace,  he 
was  not  a  bad  leader  in  war.  This  adversative  correlation  is  found  some¬ 
times  in  Cicero,  but  is  far  more  common  in  late  writers. 

1939.  ut  quisque,  commonly  with  a  superlative  expression,  is  used  in 
the  protasis  of  a  comparative  period  of  equality,  with  ita  or  sic  and  commonly 
another  superlative  expression  in  the  apodosis  :  as, 

ut  quaeque  res  est  turpissima,  sic  maxime  vindicanda  est,  Caec.  7, 

the  more  disgraceful  a  thing  is,  the  more  emphatically  does  it  call  for  punislwient. 
ut  quisque  optime  Graece  sciret,  ita  esse  nequissimum,  DO.  2,  265, 
that  the  better  Greek  scholar  a  man  was,  the  greater  rascal  he  always  was  (1722).

optimus  quisque  praeceptor  frequentia  gaudet,  Quint.  1,  2,  9,  the  best 
teachers  always  revel  in  large  classes.  See  2397. 

1940.  ut  often  introduces  a  parenthetical  idea,  particularly  a  gen¬ 
eral  truth  or  a  habit  which  accounts  for  the  special  fact  expressed  in 
the  main  sentence:  as, 

nemo,  ut  opinor,  in  culpa  est,  Clu.  143,  nobody,  as  I  fancy,  is  to  blame.

and  he  came  to  the  meeting  all  accoutred  as  he  was,  with  his  sacrificial  robe  on. 
Often  elliptically :  as,  acuti  hominis,  ut  Siculi,  TD.  1,  15,  a  bright  man,  of 
course,  being  a  Sicilian.  Aequbrum  exercitus,  ut  qui  permultos  annbs

quality  of  man ,  as  for  instance  the  lion  and  the  dog. 

1942.  The  parenthetical  clause  with  ut  or  prout  sometimes  makes  an 
allowance  for  the  meaning  of  a  word,  usually  an  adjective,  in  the  main  sen¬ 
tence  :  as, 

clvitas  ampla  atque  flSrens,  ut  est  captus  Germanorum,  4,  3,  3,

lentus,  Br.  102,  he  was  a  brilliant  historian  for  the  times,  multae  etiam,  ut

those  times. 

1943.  ut,  as  indeed ,  as  in  fact,  with  the  indicative,  is  used  to  represent 
that  an  action  supposed,  conceded,  or  commanded,  really  occurs  :  as, 

sit  Ennius  sane,  ut  est  certe,  perfectior,  Br.  76,  grant,  for  aught  / 
care,  that  Ennius  is  a  more  finished  poet,  as  indeed  he  is.  uti  erat  res,  Me- 
tellum  esse  rati,  S.  /.  69,  I,  supposing  that  it  was  Metellus,  as  in  fact  it  was. 
This  use  begins  in  the  classical  period.  It  is  found  particularly  with 
quamvis,  1905;  with  si,  see  2017. 

1944.  ut,  as,  like,  sometimes  shows  that  a  noun  used  predicatively  is  not 
literally  applicable,  but  expresses  an  imputed  quality  or  character  :  as, 

Cicero  ea  quae  nunc  usu  veniunt  cecinit  ut  vates,  N.  25,  16,  4,  Cicero 
foretold  what  is  now  actually  occurring,  like  a  bard  inspired,  canem  et 
faelem  ut  deos  colunt,  Leg.  I,  32,  they  bow  the  knee  to  dog  and  cat  as  gods. 
quod  me  sicut  alterum  parentem  diligit,  Fam.  5,  8,  4,  because  he  loves  me 
like  a  second  father,  regiae  virgines,  ut  tonstriculae,  tondebant  barbam 
patris,  TD.  5,  58,  the  princesses  used  to  shave  their  father,  just  like  common 
barber-giiLs.  In  an  untrue  or  a  merely  figurative  comparison  tamquam 
(190S)  or  quasi  is  used. 

1945.  In  old  Latin,  prae  is  combined  with  ut:  praeut,  compared  with  how :  as, 
parum  etiam,  praeut  futurumst,  praedicas,  PI.  Am.  374,  you  say  too  little 
still  compared  with  how  ’ twill  be.  praeut  is  sometimes  followed  by  a  relative 
clause:  as,  ludum  iocumque  dlcet  fuisse  ilium  alterum,  praeut  huius 
rabies  quae  dabit,  T.  Eu.  300,  he'll  say  the  other  was  but  sport  and  play ,  com¬ 
pared  with  what  this  youth  will  in  his  frenzy  do. 

1946.  In  Plautus  sicut,  with  the  indicative,  has  once  or  twice  the  meaning  of 
■since:  as,  quin  tu  illam  iube  abs  te  abire  qud  lubet  :  sicut  soror  eius 
hue  gemina  venit  Ephesum,  MG.  974,  why ,  bid  her  go  away  from  you  wher¬

WITH  THE  SUBJUNCTIVE. 

uti  or  ut. 

negative  ut  lie,  ne,  or  ut  n5n. 

1947.  The  subjunctive  with  ut  is:  (A.)  That  of  action  desired  (1540),  in 
clauses  of  purpose ;  in  these  the  negative  is  ne,  or  sometimes  ut  ne,  and  and 
that  not,  neve  or  neu,  rarely  neque  or  nec.  ut  ne,  though  used  at  all 
periods  (not  by  Caesar,  Sallust,  or  Livy),  is  chiefly  found  in  older  Latin  ; 
afterwards  ne  alone  took  its  place  (1706).  ut  non  is  used  when  the  nega¬ 
tive  belongs  to  a  single  word.  (B.)  That  of  action  conceivable  (1554),  in 
clauses  of  result ;  in  these  the  negative  is  ut  n5n,  ut  nemo,  ut  nullus,  &c. ; 
or  with  emphasis  on  the  negative,  nemo  ut,  nullus  ut,  nihil  ut ;  also  vix  ut, 
paene  ut.  prope  ut. 

1948.  Final  and  consecutive  clauses  with  ut  are  of  two  classes :  I.  Com¬ 
plementary  clauses,  that  is,  such  as  are  an  essential  complement  of  certain 
specific  verbs  or  expressions  ;  such  clauses  have  the  value  of  a  substantive, 
and  may  represent  a  subject,  an  object,  or  any  oblique  case.  II.  Pure  final 
or  consecutive  clauses,  in  which  the  purpose  or  result  of  any  action  may  be 
expressed,  and  which  are  not  essential  to  complete  the  sense  of  a  verb. 

(A.)  Purpose. 

I.  Complementary  Final  Clauses. 

1949.  (1.)  The  subjunctive  with  ut  or  ne  is  used 

in  clauses  which  serve  to  complete  the  sense  of  verbs 
of  will  or  aim.  h 

1950.  (a.)  Verbs  of  will  include  those  of  desire,  request, 
advice,  resolution,  stipulation,  command,  or  permission. 

Will  may  be  suggested  by  a  general  verb  or  expression  :  as,  died,  responded, 
ntintio,  &c.;  or  denoted  by  specific  ones,  of  which  some  of  the  commonest  are:  de¬ 
sire  :  volo  (malo),  concupisco,  opt5.  request :  pet5,  postuld,  flagito,  5r5, 
rogo,  _pre_cor,  obsecro,  impldro,  insto,  urge,  invito,  advice:  suadeo, 
persuadeo,  persuade,  moneo,  bid,  admoneo,  hortor,  censed,  propose,  vote. 
resolution,  stipulation  :  decerno,  statuo,  decree,  constitud,  placet,  sancio, 
paciscor,  pepigi.  command:  impero,  praecipio,  praescribo,  mando,

permitto,  committo,  potestatem  facio,  veniam  do,  sino,  non  patior. 

1951.  (p.)  Verbs  of  aim  include  those  of  striving,  accom¬ 
plishing,  or  inducing  ;  such  are  : 

striving :  ago  or  id  ago,  animum  indued,  tempto,  operam  do,  laboro, 
nitor,  enitor,  molior,  video,  prospicio,  euro,  nihil  antiquius  habeo

1952.  Many  of  these  verbs  often  have  a  coordinated  subjunctive  (1705- 
1713),  or,  according  to  the  meaning,  admit  other  constructions,  which  must 
in  general  be  learned  by  reading,  or  from  the  dictionary.  The  following 
points  may  be  noticed  : 

1953-  (a-)  The  verbs  of  resolving,  statuS,  constituS,  and  decerno,  and  of 
striving,  nitor,  and  tempto,  have  usually  the  complementary  infinitive  (2169),  un¬ 
less  a  new  subject  is  introduced.  For  volo  (maid),  and  cupid,  see  also  2189;  for 
iubeo,  veto,  sino,  and  patior,  219S.  postulo,  expect ,  often  has  the  same  con¬ 
struction  as  void,  especially  in  old  Latin  (2194).  For  impero,  see  2202. 

1954.  ( b .)  Some  of  the  above  verbs,  with  the  meaning  think  or  say,  have  the 
accusative  with  the  infinitive  (2175,  2I95):  as>  void,  contendo,  maintain,  con- 
cedo,  admit ,  statuo,  assume,  decerno,  judge,  moneo,  remind,  persuadeo, 
convince. 

x955-  (c-)  Verbs  of  accomplishing  sometimes  express  result  rather  than  purpose, 
and  when  the  result  is  negative,  are  completed  by  a  clause  with  ut  non  (1965).  For 
the  infinitive  with  such  verbs,  see  2196. 

1956.  est  with  a  predicate  noun  is  sometimes  equivalent  to  a  verb  of 
will  or  aim,  and  has  the  same  construction.

lam  afraid  it  may  not  come  to  pass  (1706);  and  vereor,  ne  fiat,  /  am  afraid ; 
may  it  not  come  to  pass,  of  I  am  afraid  it  may  come  to  pass,  metuo  Ut  is  common 
in  old  Latin,  and  is  used  by  Horace,  but  not  by  Caesar  or  Sallust,  once  by  Cicero  in  the 
orations,  timeo  ut  is  rare,  and  first  used  by  Cicero,  vereor  ut  is  not  uncommon. 

at  vereor  ut  placari  possit,  T.  Ph.  965,  but  I'm  afraid  she  can  V  be  recon¬ 
ciled.  ne  uxor  resciscat  metuit,  PI.  As.  743,  he  is  afraid  his  wife  may  find

some  grander  friend  may  with  his  coldness  cut  you  dead,  nequid  summa

met  perdiderimus  uspiam,  PI.  MG.  428,  I'm  afraid  we ’ve  lost  ourselves 
somewhere,  sollicitus  ne  turba  peregerit  orbem,  J.  5,  20,  apprehensive  that 
the  throng  may  have  finished  its  round,  ne  non  is  often,  though  rarely  in  old 
Latin,  used  for  ut,  and  regularly  when  the  expression  of  fear  is  negative  : 
as,  non  vereor  ne  hoc  officium  meum  P.  Servilio  non  probem,  V.  4,  82, 
I  have  no  fear  but  I  may  make  my  services  acceptable  in  the  eyes  of  Servilius. 
For  non  metud  quin,  see  1986. 

1958.  vereor  ne  is  often  equivalent  to  I  rather  think,  and  vereor  ut  to 
hardly,  vide  (videamus,  videndum  est)  ne,  and  similar  expressions,  are

than  proved :  as, 

vereor  ne  barbarorum  rex  fuerit,  RP.  1,  58,  I  rather  think  he  was  king 
over  savages,  vide  ne  mea  coniectura  multo  sit  verior,  Clu.  97 ,  I  rather 

think  my  conjecture  is  in  better  keeping  with  the  facts. 

1959.  Other  constructions  with  expressions  of  fear  are  :  (a.)  Indirect 
question,  (b.)  Accusative  with  infinitive.,  {c.)  Complementary  infinitive  : 
as,

minus  (1977) :  deterreo,  impedio,  obsisto,  obstd,  officio,  prohibed,  teneo. 
resisting  :  resisto,  repugnd,  recusd  ;  with  these  last  often  qudminus.  Some  of

1962-1965.]  Sentences:  The  Subordinate  Sentence. 


ig62.  The  subjunctive  with  ut  or  ne  is  often  used  not  to  express  the 
purpose  of  the  main  action,  but  to  explain,  parenthetically,  why  it  is  men¬ 
tioned  :  as, 

ut  in  pauca  conferam,  testamento  facts  mulier  moritur,  Caec.  17,  to 

cut  a  long  story  short ,  the  woman  ?nakes  her  will  and  dies .  vere  ut  dicam,  V. 
5,  177,  sooth  to  say.  ut  plura  nbn  dicam,  IP.  44,  to  ship  a  great  deal,  sed

vate  citizens  in  war-time,  still  people  hand  them  in  with  reluctance ;  which  1 
mention  that  you  may  not  imagine  that  anybody  brought  his  silver  ware  out  of 
his  house  without  great  distress  of  mind.  The  tense  is  present.  The  use  of 
the  perfect  in  late  writers,  as  ut  sic  dixerim,  Quint.  1,  6,  1,  seems  to  be 
founded  on  dixerim  of  action  conceivable  (1558). 

1963.  The  subjunctive  is  used  in  an  assumption  or  concession  with  ut 
or  ne,  or  if  the  negation  belongs  to  a  single  word,  with  ut  non,  nemo,  &c.: 
as, 

ut  taceam,  quoivis  facile  scitu  est  quam  fuerim  miser,  T.  Hec.  296, 

even  supposing  I  say  nothing,  anybody  can  understand  how  unhappy  I  was.

not  the  chief  est  evil,  an  evil  it  assuredly  is  (1553).  verum  ut  hoc  non  sit, 
tamen  praeclarum  spectaculum  mihl  propono,  Att.  2,  15,  2,  but  suppose 
this  be  71  ot  the  case,  still  I  anticipate  a  gorgeous  show,  ac  iam  ut  omnia  con¬ 
tra  opinionem  acciderent,  tamen  seplurimum  navibus  posse  perspicie- 
bant,  3,  9,  6,  and  even  supposing  everything  turned  out  co7itrary  to  expectation, 
still  they  saw  clearly  that  they  had  the  advantage  by  sea.  ut  enim  neminem 
alium  nisi  T.  Patinam  rogasset,  scire  potuit  prodi  flaminem  necesse 
esse,  Mil.  46,  for  rvezi  supposmg  he  had  asked  7tobody  but  Patina,  he  7night 
have  known  that  a  priest  7nust  be  appointed.  This  use  is  common  in  Cicero  ; 
not  found  in  Plautus  or  Sallust. 

1964.  The  subjunctive  with  ut  or  ne,  generally  with  ita  as  a  correla¬ 
tive,  sometimes  has  the  force  of  a  proviso :  as, 

ita  probanda  est  dementia,  ut  adhibeatur  severitas.  Off.  1,  88, 

mercy  is  to  be  commended,  provided  that  strictness  is  employed,  satis  memoriae 
meae  tribuent,  ut  maibribus  meis  dignum  credant,  Ta.  4,  38,  they  will 
pay  respect  enough  to  my  memory,  provided  they  consider  zne  worthy  of  my 
ancestors. 


(B.)  Result. 

I.  Complementary  Consecutive  Clauses. 

1965.  The  subjunctive  with  ut  or  ut  non  is  used  in  clauses 
which  serve  to  complete  the  sense  of  certain  verbs  and  expres- 
sions,  chiefly  of  bringing  to  pass,  happening,  and  following.

vetians  attempted  just  the  same  to  carry  out  their  resolution  of  moving  out  of  their 
abodes  ( 1752).  omnibus  Gallis  idem  esse  faciendum,  quod  Helvetii  fece- 
rint,  ut  domo  emigrent,  1,  31,  14,  that  all  the  Gauls  must  do  just  as  the  Hel¬ 
vetians  had  done  and  move  away  from  home.  Helvetii,  cum  id,  quod  ipsi 
diebus  xx  aegerrime  cbnfecerant,  ut  flumen  transirent,  ilium  uno  die

that  the  Homan  commander  had  done  in  a  single  day  what  they  had  found  it 
hard  themselves  to  do  in  twenty,  namely  cross  the  river,  they  sent  deputies  (1752). 
id  aliquot  de  causis  acciderat,  ut  subito  Galli  belli  renovandi  consilium 
caperent,  3,  2,  2,  it  was  due  to  a  variety  of  reasons  that  the  Gauls  suddenly 
conceived  the  idea  of  making  war  again  (1 75^)-  Caesar  idem  quod  superi- 
oribus  diebus  acciderat,  fore  videbat,  ut  si  essent  hostes  pulsi,  cele- 
ritate  periculum  effugerent,  4,  35,  1,  Caesar  saw  that  if  the  enemy  were  routed 
the  experience  would  be  as  on  former  days :  they  would  escape  danger  by  rapidity

1969.  tantum  abest,  so  far  from,  is  sometimes  followed  by  a  double  ut, 
the  first  introducing  an  unreal,  and  the  second  a  real  action :  as, 

tantum  abest  ut  haec  bestiarum  causa  parata  sint,  ut  ipsas  bestias 
hominum  gratia  generates  esse  videamus,  DN.  2,  158,  so  far  from  these 
things  being  made  for  brutes ,  we  see  that  brutes  themselves  were  created  for  man. 
This  use,  very  rarely  personal,  begins  with  Cicero,  and  is  common  in  his 
writings  and  in  Livy.  Not  in  Caesar,  Sallust,  or  Tacitus.  Sometimes  in¬ 
stead  of  ut  the  second  sentence  is  coordinated  (1700):  tantum  abfuit  ut 
inflammares  nostros  animos,  somnum  vix  tenebamus,  Br.  278,  so  far 
from  your  firing  our  heart,  toe  could  hardly  keep  awake.  Or,  the  idea  is 
expressed  by  ita  non  .*■ .  .  ut :  as,  erat  ita  non  timidus  ad  mortem,  ut 
in  acie  sit  ob  rem  publicam  interfectus,  Fin.  2,  63,  so  far  from  being  afraid 
of  death,  he  fell  in  battle  for  his  country. 

II.  Pure  Consecutive  Clauses. 

1970.  The  subjunctive  is  used  with  ut  or  ut  non  to 
denote  result. 

The  result  may  be  the  result  of  an  action  or  of  a  thing  named  in  the 
main  sentence.  The  main  sentence  often  has  a  correlative  to  ut,  expressing 
(a.)  degree:  as,  tantus,  so  great ,  tarn,  so  (with  adjectives  or  adverbs). 
ade5,  tantopere.  (b.)  quality:  as,  is  (hie,  ille,  iste),  such,  talis,  ita,  sic. 

mons  altissimus  impendebat,  ut  facile  perpauci  prohibere  possent, 
I,  6, 1,  an  exceeding  high  mountain  hung  over ,  so  that  a  very  few  could  block  the 
way.  dictitabant  se  domo  expulsos,  omnibus  necessariis  egere  rebus, 
ut  honesta  praescriptibne  rem  turpissimam  tegerent,  Caes.  C.  3,  32,  4, 
they  stoutly  declared  that  they  were  driven  out  of  house  and  home ,  and  lacked 
the  necessaries  of  life,  thus  veiling  dishonour  under  the  name  of  respectability.

ubi. 

1971.  ubi,  in  the  sense  of  where  (709),  has  the  ordinary  construc¬ 
tion  of  a  relative  (1812-1831).  For  ubi,  when ,  see  1923-1926  and 
1932-1934;  as  a  synonym  of  si,  if  see  21 10.

quo  or  qui. 

1972.  quo,  whereby ,  wherewith ,  or  in  old  Latin  sometimes  qui 
(689),  is  the  instrumental  ablative  from  the  relative  and  interrogative 
stem  qui-.  Combined  with  minus,  the  less ,  not ,  quo  gives  quominus. 

WITH  THE  INDICATIVE. 

1973.  The  indicative  is  used  with  qu5  and  a  comparative  in  the  protasis 
of  a  comparative  period,  with  ed  or  h5c  and  a  comparative  as  correlative 

( 1 393)  :  as> 

quo  delictum  maius  est,  eo  poena  est  tardior,  Caec.  7,  the  greater  the 
sin  is,  the  slower  is  the  punishment.  The  eo  or  hoc  is  sometimes  omitted  :  as, 
quo  plures  sumus,  pluribus  rebus  egebimus,  L.  34,  34,  6,  the  more  numer¬ 
ous  zue  are ,  the  more  things  we  shall  need.  In  late  writers,  the  comparative  is 
sometimes  omitted  in  the  main  clause,  very  rarely  in  the  subordinate  clause. 
quantS  .  .  .  tanto  are  also  used  like  quo  .  .  .  eo  :  as,  quants  diutius

of  the  commoner  ut  .  .  .  ita  or  sic  (1939)  :  as,  quS  quisque  est  sollertior,

WITH  THE  SUBJUNCTIVE. 

1974.  The  subjunctive  is  used  with  quo  to  express  purpose. 

quo  differs  but  little  in  meaning  from  ut  of  purpose.  It  is  used  (a.)  par¬ 
ticularly  in  clauses  containing  a  comparative  expression,  or  ( b )  in  solemn 
law  language. 

(a.)  equites  omnibus  in  locis  pugnant,  qu5  se  legionariis  militibus 
praeferrent,  2,  27,  2,  the  troopers  fought  on  every  kind  of  ground,  hoping  to  out¬ 
shine  the  regular  infantry  thereby.  medico  puto  aliquid  dandum  esse,  quo 
sit  studiosior,  Fain.  16,  4,  2,  I  think  it  would  be  well  to  fee  your  medical  man ,  to 
make  him  more  attentive,  id  amabo  adiuta  me  qub  id  fiat  facilius,  T.  Eu. 
150,  help  me  in  that ,  I  pray,  that  it  may  be  the  easier  done,  sublata  erat  cele-

faciat,  Twelve  Tables  in  Leg.  2,  60,  he  shall  not  gather  up  the  bones  of  a  dead 
man,  with  intent  to  celebrate  the  funeral  a  second  time  ( 1 586).  qui  eorum  coht, 
coierit,  quo  quis  iudicio  publico  condemnaretur,  law  in  Clu.  148,  whosoever 
of  that  number  conspired  or  shall  have  conspired  to  have  anybody  condemned  in  a 
criminal  court.  Otherwise  rarely  used  without  a  comparative  expression, 
yet  occasionally  found  thus  in  Plautus,  Terence,  Sallust,  and  Ovid :  as,  hanc 
simulant  parere  quo  Chremetem  absterreant,  T.  Andr.  472,  they're  pre¬ 
tending  that  she ’s  lying  in,  to  frighten  C hr  ernes  off. 

1975.  qu5  ne,  in  a  negative  clause  of  purpose,  is  found  in  a  disputed  passage 
in  Horace,  but  not  again  until  late  Latin.  For  non  qub,  n5n  ed  qub,  introducing 
an  untenable  reason,  see  1S55. 

1976.  In  old  Latin  qui,  whereby ,  wherewith,  withal,  is  partly  felt  as  a  live  rela¬ 
tive  pronoun  in  the  ablative,  and  partly  as  a  mere  conjunction  of  purpose ;  as  a  pro¬ 
noun  it  may  even  take  a  preposition  ;  as  a  conjunction,  it  may  refer  to  a  plural  ante¬ 
cedent  (6S9) :  as,  quasi  patriciis  pueris  aut  monerulae  aut  anites  aut 
cbturnices  dantur,  quicum  lusitent :  itidem  mi  haec  upupa,  qui  me  de- 
lectem  datast,  PI.  Cap.  1002,  as  to  the  sons  of  gentlemen  or  daws  or  ducks  or  quails

withal,  enim  mihi  quidem  aequomst  dari  vehicla  qui  vehar,  PI.  Aul.  500, 
in  sooth  't  were  fair  that  carriages  be  given  me,  to  ride  withal.  The  indicative  occurs 
where  the  subjunctive  would  be  used  in  classical  Latin  :  as.  multa  concurrunt 
simul,  qui  coniecturam  hanc  facib,  T.  Andr.  511,  a  thousand  things  combine 
whereby  I  come  to  this  conjecture.

quominus. 

1977.  The  subjunctive  with  quominus  (1972)  is  used  to  complete 
the  sense  of  verbs  of  hindering  or  resisting. 

Such  verbs  are:  impedio,  teneo,  hinder ,  intercludo,  deterreo,  obsto, 
obsisto,  resisto,  repugno,  non  recuso  ;  these  verbs  often  have  a  subjunctive 
with  ne  (i960).  Cicero  rarely  and  Caesar  never  uses  quominus  with  impedio  or 
prohibeo.  For  the  accusative  and  infinitive  with  these  verbs,  see  2203.  quominus 
is  also  used  with  moveor,  am  influenced,  fit,  it  is  owing  to,  stat  per  aliquem, 
somebody  is  responsible,  or  indeed  any  expression  implying  hindrance.  When  the 
verb  of  hindering  has  a  negative  with  it,  quin  is  often  used  ;  see  1986.

N.  15,  8,  2,  and  he_did  not  decline  to  submit  to  the  penalty  of  the  law.  Caesar, 
ubi  cognovit  per  Afranium  stare  quominus  proelio  dimicaretur,  castra 
facere  constituit,  Caes.  C.  1,  41,  3,  when  Caesar  learned  that  owing  to  Afra- 
nius  there  '< was  no  battle ,  he  resolved  to  build  a  camp,  si  te  dolor  corporis 
tenuit,  quominus  ad  ludos  venires,  fortunae  magis  tribuo  quam 
sapientiae  tuae,  Fam.  7,  1,  1,  if  it  was  bodily  suffering  that  kept  you  from 
corning  to  the  performances,  I  think  more  highly  of  your  luck  than  of  your  sense. 
Terence  first  uses  qubminus  thus,  but  only  rarely.  He  also  sometimes  uses 
the  parts  separately  so  that  the  true  relative  and  negative  forces  appear:  as, 
si  sensero  quicquam  in  his  te  nuptiis  fallaciae  conari,  qu5  fiant  minus, 
T.  Andr.  196,  if  I  catch  you  trying  o/^any  trick  in  the  matter  of  this  marriage 
through  which  it  may  not  come  off  (1451). 

1978.  In  Tacitus,  quominus  is  sometimes  found  where  quin  would  be  used  in 
classical  Latin  (1986):  as,  nec  dubitatum  qubminus  pacem  concederent, 

Ta.  H.  2,  45,  there  was  no  hesitation  in  granting  peace. 

I97g.  It  may  be  mentioned  here  that  quo  setius  with  the  subjunctive,  instead 
of  qubminus,  is  found  twice  in  Cicero’s  earliest  extant  prose,  and  a  few  times  in 
older  Latin. 


quin. 

1980.  quin  is  composed  of  qui,  the  ablative  or  locative  of  the  in¬ 
terrogative  and  relative  stem  qui-  (689),  and-ne,  not .  It  is  used  in 
simple  sentences  and  as  a  conjunctive  particle. 

1981.  F  or  the  use  of  quin,  why  not ,  in  questions  with  the  indicative,  see 
1526.  Such  questions  have  the  sense  of  an  affirmative  command  or  exhor¬ 
tation  (1531) :  as,  quin  abis,  PI.  MG.  10S7,  why  won't  you  begone?  ox  get  you 
Zone,  quin  conscendimus  equos,  L.  1,  57,  7,  why  not  mount ,  or  to  horse ,  to 
horse.  For  the  use  of  quin  without  interrogative  force  with  the  imperative 
or  the  indicative,  see  1527. 

1982.  quin  is  found  once  with  the  subjunctive  in  a  direct  question  :  thus, 
quin  ego  hoc  rogem  ?  PI.  AIG.  426,  why  should  rCt  I  ask  this?  (1563). 

1983-  T  he  subjunctive  with  the  conjunctive  particle  quin  is  used,  particu¬ 
larly  in  old  Latin,  in  connection  with  the  common  formula  nulla  causa  est 
or  its  equivalents. 

Such  a  subjunctive  may  be  regarded  as  original  ( 1 7S6 )  or  as  due  to  the 
indirect  form  of  question  (1773). 

nulla  causast  quin  me  condones  cruci,  ri.  R.  1070,  there's  no  reason 
why  you  should  11 1  deliver  me  up  to  execution,  quin  decedam,  nulla  causa

1985.  The  subjunctive  with  quin  (or  ut  non)  is  used  after  non  possum,

Tri.  705,  upon  my  word  I  must  cry  bravo ,  bravo ,  Lysiteles  ;  encore!  facere

writing  me  that  letter  ( 1965). 

1986.  The  subjunctive  with  quin  is  used  in  clauses  which  com¬ 
plete  the  sense  of  verbs  of  restraining,  abstaining,  delaying,  or  doubt¬ 
ing,  when  such  verbs  have  a  negative,  expressed  or  implied. 

Such  verbs  are  (a.)  restraining:  tempero  mih!,  teneo,  restrain,  retineo, 
contineo,  deterred,  reprimo.  abstaining:  praetermitto,  intermitto.  de¬ 
laying:  cunctor,  differo,  exspecto,  recuso;  non  multum,  nihil,  paulum 
abest.  (b.)  doubting:  dubito,  dubium  est ;  a  doubt  may  also  be  implied  in  other 
words,  or  forms  of  words  :  as,  non  metuo,  non  abest  suspicio,  &c. 

(a.)  neque  sibi  homines  barbaros  temperaturos  exlstimabat,  quin 
in  provinciam  exlrent,  1,  33,  4,  and  he  thought ,  as  they  were  savages ,  they

verit,  1,  4,  4,  and  ground  is  not  wanting  for  the  belief  that  he  made  away  with

1987.  non  dubito  has  other  constructions:  (a.)  Indirect  question. 
(b.)  Accusative  with  the  infinitive  (in  some  authors  :  chiefly  Nepos  and 
Livy  and  later  writers),  (c.)  Meaning  not  hesitate ,  the  infinitive  alone  (2169). 
quin  seldom  follows  this  meaning.

munity  but  sent  a  part  of  its  local  senate  to  Corduba,  not  a  Roman  citizen ,  but 
went  to  the  meeting.  For  qul  non  after  such  expressions,  see  1821.  The

used  in  such  combinations  (1821). 

1989.  The  subjunctive  in  an  untenable  reason,  negatively  put,  is  sometimes  intro¬ 
duced  by  non  quin  instead  of  non  quod  non  or  n5n  quo  n5n  (1855)  :  as,  non 
quin  pari  virtute  alii  fuerint,  Pit.  7,  6,  not  that  others  may  not  have  been  his 
peers  in  virtue. 

iggo.  quin  is  used  very  rarely  instead  of  quominus  to  introduce  clauses  com¬ 
pleting  the  sense  of  verbs  which  have  no  negative  expressed  or  implied :  as,  once  each 
in  the  Bellum  Alexandrinum ,  in  Tacitus,  and  in  Seneca’s  prose. 


dum,  donee,  quoad,  quamdiu. 

iggi.  With  the  temporal  particles  dum,  while,  until,  and  donee,  7intil  (in 
old  Latin  donicum  and  in  Lucretius  donique),  may  be  conveniently  treated 
the  relative  quoad  (that  is  qu5  combined  with  ad),  while,  until,  and  the 
comparative  quamdiu,  as  long  as. 

1992.  dum,  while, means  originally  a  while  (11^1) :  as,  circumspice  dum,  PI. 
Tri.  146,  look  round  you  a  while,  a  minute,  just  look  round (1573).  dum  servi  m5i 
perplacet  mihi  consilium,  dum  haud  placet,  PI.  Merc.  348,  one  while  my 
slave's  plan  suits  me  completely ,  another  while  it  does  n't  suit,  dum  .  .  .  dum, 
Accius  in  DN.  2,  89,  one  while  .  .  .  another. 

1993-  As  a  pure  conjunctive  particle,  dum,  while,  means  either  (A.)  in 
the  time  while,  or  (B.)  all  the  time  while  ;  in  the  latter  sense  quoad  and 
quamdiu  are  also  used.  From  all  the  time  while,  dum  comes  to  mean  (C.) 
as  long  as,  provided ;  and  (D.)  until ;  in  this  sense  quoad  and  donee  are 
also  used. 

1994.  The  indicative  is  used  in  a  protasis  intro¬ 
duced  by  dum,  quoad,  or  quamdiu,  while ;  and  the 
subjunctive  in  a  protasis  introduced  by  dum,  pro¬ 
vided ,  or  until. 

The  subjunctive  is  also  used  for  special  reasons,  as  in  indirect  discourse 
(1725),  by  attraction  (1728),  of  action  conceivable  (1731),  or  by  late  writers 
to  express  repeated  past  action  (1730).

The  phrase  dum  haec  geruntur,  meanwhile,  is  often  used  by  the  historians 
to  shift  the  scene:  as,  dum  haec  in  Venetis  geruntur,  Q.  Titurius  Sahi- 
nus  in  fines  Venellorum  pervenit,  3,  17,  1,  while  this  was  going  on  among 
the  Veneti,  Sabinus  arrived  in  the  territory  of  the  Venelli.  The  present  in¬ 
dicative  is  sometimes  retained  in  indirect  discourse,  chiefly  in  poetry  or 
late  prose :  as,  die,  hospes,  Spartae  n5s  te  hie  vidisse  iacentis,  dum 
sanctis  patriae  legibus  obsequimur,  TD.  1,  101,  tell  it  at  Sparta,  friend, 
that  thou  hast  seen  us  lying  here ,  obedient  to  our  country's  holy  laws,  dicit 
sese  illi  anulum,  dum  luctat,  detraxisse,  T.  Hec.  829,  he  says  that,  in  the 
struggle,  he  pulled  off  her  ring.

animum  advortite,  dum  huius  argumentum  eloquar  comoediae,  PI. 

frol.  Am.  95,  attention  lend,  while  I  set  forth  the  subject  of  this  comedy,  dum 
pauca  dicam,  breviter  attendite,  V.  3,  163,  while  I  speak  briefly,  give  me 

your  attention  a  few  moments. 

1997.  The  imperfect  indicative  is  rare ;  the  imperfect  subjunctive  is 
sometimes  used,  chiefly  by  the  historians :  as, 

(a.)  dum  haec  Veis  agebantur,  interim  capitolium  in  ingenti  peri- 
culd  fuit,  L.  5, 47,  1,  while  this  was  going  on  at  Vei,  the  capitol  meanwhile  was 
in  terrible  peril.  The  pluperfect  of  resulting  state  is  rarer  :  as,  dum  in  unam 
partem  oculbs  hostium  certamen  averterat,  pluribus  locis  capitur  mu- 
rus,  L.  32,  24,  5,  while  the  eyes  of  the  enemy  were  turned  away  in  one  direc¬ 
tion  toward  the  fight,  the  wall  is  carried  in  several  places  (1615).  (b.)  dum  se 

rex  averteret,  alter  elatam  securim  in  caput  deiecit,  L.  1,  40,  7,  while  the 
king  was  looking  another  way,  the  second  man  raised  his  axe  and  brought  it 
down  on  his  head.

1998.  The  clause  with  dum  often  denotes  the  cause  of  the  main 
action,  particularly  when  the  subjects  of  both  verbs  are  the  same  and 
the  action  of  the  protasis  is  coincident  with  that  of  the  apodosis

Conjunctional  Sentences:  dum.  [2005-2007. 


dum,  until. 

2005.  The  subjunctive  present  is  used  in  a  protasis  intro¬ 
duced  by  dum,  until,  when  the  main  verb  denotes  either  indefi¬ 
nite  or  present  time,  and  the  subjunctive  imperfect  when  the 
main  verb  is  past. 

The  subjunctive  is  an  extension  of  the  subjunctive  of  desire  (1540) ;  the 
clause  denotes  something  expected  or  proposed. 

is  dum  veniat  sedens  ibi  opperibere,  PI.  B.  48,  yojt  shall  sit  there 
waiting  till  he  comes,  drandl  sunt,  ut  si  quam  habent  ulciscendi  vim,

always  ask  such  people,  if  they  have  any  chance  to  take  vengeance,  to  put  it  ojf

quemadmodum  negotium  confectum  sit,  Bam.  9,  2,  4,  I  advise  lying  low 
where  you  are,  while  the  present  congratulation  excitement  is  coolmg  off,  and  at

convenirent,  in  ancoris  exspectavit,  4,  23, 4,  he  waiied  at  anchor  till  the  rest 
of  the  vessels  should  gather  there  (1725).  Verginius  dum  collegam  consu- 
leret  moratus,  dictatorem  dixit,  L.  4,  21,  10,  Verginius,  after  waiting  till  he 
should  consult  his  colleague,  appointed  a  dictator,  observavit  dum  dormita- 
ret  canes,  PI.  Tri.  170,  he  watched  till  the  dog  should  be  napping. 

2006.  The  present  indicative  with  dum,  while,  is  sometimes  used  where 
the  subjunctive  might  be  expected  with  dum,  until  (1593).  Other  indicative 
tenses  are  rarely  thus  used:  as, 

(a.)  expectabo,  dum  venit,  T.  Eu.  206,  I  will  wait  while  he  comes,  ego 
hie  tantisper,  dum  exis,  te  opperiar,  PI.  Most.  683,  I'll  wait  for  you  here  a

no,  3,  for  myself  I  am  waiting  at  the  Arcae  place,  till  I  ascertain  this,  (b.)  mihi 
quidem  usque  curae  erit,  quid  agas,  dum  quid  egeris,  sciero,  Earn.  12,  19, 
3,  for  me  I  shall  be  anxious  all  the  time  to  know  what  you  are  doing,  till  I  know 
what  you  have  done,  mansit  in  condicione  usque  ad  eum  finem  dum 
iudices  reiecti  sunt,  V.  a.  pr.  16,  he  stuck  to  his  bargain  till  the  jurors  were 
challenged. 


quoad,  donee,  until. 

2007.  quoad  or  donee,  until ,  introduces  a  protasis  in  the  present 
subjunctive  when  the  main  verb  is  present  or  future  ;  and  in  the 
perfect  indicative  when  the  main  verb  is  past. 

quoad  is  found  once  in  Plautus  with  the  imperfect  subjunctive  (2008) ;  in  other 
authors  here  and  there  with  both  moods  ;  not  in  Tacitus.  With  donee  the  pres¬ 
ent  subjunctive  is  found  once  in  Plautus,  rarely  in  late  Latin  and  in  poetry;  the  per¬ 
fect  indicative  is  found  at  all  periods;  the  present  indicative  (1590),  found  once  in' 
Plautus,  is  poetic  and  late.  But  donee  is  rarely  used  by  Cicero,  and  never  by  Caesar 
or  Sallust,  ddnicum  is  found  in  old  Latin  (not  in  Terence)  with  the  indicative 
(2009),  and  once  in  Nepos  with  the  subjunctive  of  indirect  discourse,  donique  is 
found  four  times  in  Lucretius  with  the  indicative,  always  before  vowels  (2009). 
doneque  and  doneque  cum  seem  to  occur  a  few  times  in  Vitruvius.

wrestling,  till  he  cozild  give  a  grip  standing. 

2009.  Other  constructions  occur,  chiefly  in  old  Latin  or  poetry,  with  donee,  or 
donicum,  zintil.  (a.)  The  future  perfect :  as,  haud  desinam,  dSnec  perfecerS

The  imperfect  indicative  is  found  once  in  Tacitus,  who  also  has  the  infinitive  of  inti¬ 
mation  (1539)  once  or  twice.  An  imperfect  or  pluperfect  subjunctive  sometimes 
occurs  where  purpose  is  intimated,  and  in  Livy  and  late  Latin  to  express  repeated  past 
action  :  as,  donee  egregius  properaret  exsul,  H.  3,  5,  45,  till  he  could  hasten

Conjunctional  Sentences:  quando.  [2010-2013. 


quando. 

2010.  quand5,  originally  a  temporal  particle,  has  the  meaning 
when ,  which  readily  passes  over  to  a  causal  meaning,  since ,  because. 
In  both  meanings  it  introduces  the  indicative.  For  special  reasons, 
however,  the  subjunctive  is  used,  as  in  indirect  discourse  (1725)  or  of 
action  conceivable  (1731).  quando  is  also  used  to  introduce  a  con¬ 
ditional  protasis  (2110). 

In  simple  sentences,  temporal  quandS  is  used  in  pronoun  questions 
(1526).  As  an  indefinite  adverb  it  has  the  meaning  ever. 

(A.)  Temporal  quands. 

2011.  quandd,  when ,  introduces  a  temporal  clause  with  the  in¬ 
dicative. 

The  time  is  often  indefinite  or  iterative  ;  so  usually  in  old  Latin,  quan- 
d5  often  has  turn  as  correlative. 

fio  Iuppiter  quand5  lubet,  PL  Am.  864,  1  turn  into  Jupiter  at  my  sweet 
will.  laudatS  quando  illud  quod  cupis  effecero,  PL  Cu.  364,  cry  your  bravo 
when  I've  done  what  you  desire.  quandS  occasio  illaec  periit,  post  serS 
cupit,  PL  Aul.  249,  when  that  chance  is  lost,  he  wants  it  all  too  late  (1613). 
quandS  omnes  creati  sunt,  turn  ad  eos  deus  fatur,  Tun.  40,  when  all  were 
created ,  then  to  them  spake  the  god.  quandS  pars  maior  in  eandem  senten- 
tiam  ibat,  bellum  erat  consensum,  L.  1,  32,  12,  when  the  majority  voted  for 
the  same  motion,  war  was  always  agreed  upon.  Temporal  quando  is  found 
sporadically  at  all  periods ;  not  in  Terence  or  Caesar. 

2012.  quandoque,  whenever,  is  found  once  in  the  Twelve  Tables,  a  few 
times  in  Cicero  (chiefly  in  legal  formulae),  three  times  in  Horace,  and  here 
and  there  in  later  authors.  Not  in  Caesar. 

(B.)  Causal  quando. 

2013.  quando,  since,  seeing  that,  introduces  a  causal  clause  with 
the  indicative. 

The  reason  is  usually  one  known  to  the  person  addressed  or  one  gener¬ 
ally  known  (1884).  quandS  is  often  strengthened  by  quidem. 

quando  hie  servio,  haec  patriast  mea,  PL  Per.  641,  now  that  I  am  a 
slave  here,  this  is  my  country,  quin  ergS  abeis,  quandS  responsumst  ? 
PL  MG.  1085,  why  don't  you  go  then,  since  you 've  had  your  answer  ?  melius 
est,  quandSquidem  hoc  numquam  mi  ipse  voluit  dicere,  T.  Ad.  639,  bet¬ 
ter  so,  since  he  would  n't  ever  tell  me  about  it  of  his  07un  accord,  quandd  me  in 
hunc  locum  deduxit  oratiS,  docebo,  DN.  3,  43,  seeing  that  my  discourse  has 
brought  me  to  this  point,  I  will  show,  haec  detur  cura  censoribus,  quando- 
quidem  eos  in  re  publica  semper  volumus  esse,  Leg.  3,  47,  let  this  be  the 
charge  of  the  censors,  seeing  that  we  want  such  officers _  always  tn  our  state. 
pro  urbe  ac  penatibus  dimicandum  esse,  quandS  Italiam  tueri  nequls- 
sent,  L.  22,  8,  7,  that  they  must  fight  for  home  and  country,  now  that  they  had 
failed  to  preserve  Italy  (1724).  Causal  quando  is  found  at  all  periods,  though 
not  in  Caesar,  and  in  Cicero’s  orations  only  with  quidem.

2014-2019.]  Sentences:  The  Subordinate  Sentence. 


2014.  quandoque,  inasmuch  as,  is  used  a  few  times  in  a  formal  or  legal 
sense  in  Cicero  and  Livy:  as,  quandSque  hisce  homines  iniussu  populi 
Romani  Quirltium  foedus  ictum  Irl  spoponderunt,  L.  9, 10,9,  inasmuch  as 

these  persons  have  promised  that  a  covenant  should  be  made,  without  the  order  of 
the  Roman  nation  of  Quirites. 


si. 

2015.  si,  in  early  Latin  sei,  is  originally  a  locative,  meaning  under 
those  circu?Jistances ,  so.  With  the  enclitic  -ce,  it  forms  sice  or  sic, 
so.  The  two  are  sometimes  found  as  correlatives  in  colloquial  style  : 
as,  sic  scribes  aliquid,  si  vacabis,  Att.  12,  38,  2,  so  you  shall  have 
time ,  so  you  will  write  something. 


Conditional  Periods. 

2016.  A  protasis  introduced  by  si,  so,  if,  or  nisi,  unless ,  if 
not,  states  a  condition ;  the  apodosis  states  action  occurring 
under  that  condition.  The  conditional  protasis  and  apodosis 
combined  make  a  Conditional  Period. 

Thus,  si  dies  est,  if  it  is  day,  is  a  conditional  protasis ;  combined  with  an 
apodosis,  lucet,  it  is  light,  it  makes  a  conditional  period  :  si  dies  est,  lucet, 
I) iv.  1,  86,  if  it  is  day,  it  is  light. 

2017.  A  parenthesis  with  ut  (1943)  is  added  when  the  speaker  asserts  that  the 
action  of  the  protasis  is  not  only  assumed,  but  actually  occurs:  as,  si  virtus  dlgna 
est  gloriatibne,  ut  est,  beatus  esse  poterit  virtute  una  praeditus,  Fin.  4, 
51,  if  virtue  is  entitled  to  glorification ,  as  it  really  is,  tie  will  find  it  possible  to  be 
happy  in  the  possession  of  virtue  alone,  si  nox  opportuna  est  eruptiSnl,  sicut 
est,  haec  profecto  noctis  aptissima  hora  est,  L.  7,35,  10,  if  night  is  always 
favourable  for  a  sortie ,  and  it  always  is,  this  particular  hour  of  the  night  is  surely 
the  very  best  time. 

2018.  The  apodosis  is  usually  declarative.  Often,  however,  it  is  interro¬ 
gative,  exclamatory,  or  imperative,  or  it  may  take  any  other  form  which  the 
thought  or  the  context  may  require.  The  apodosis  has  rarely  a  correlative  to 
si :  as,  igitur,  it  follows  that,  idcirco,/hr  all  that,  turn,  then,  ita,  sic,  only ,  ea 
condicione,  on  condition;  at,  but ,  tamen,  nevertheless ,  certe,  saltern,  at  any 
rate,  turn  denique,  turn  demum,  then  and  not  till  then. 

2019.  si  is  sometimes  followed  by  quidem  or,  from  Cicero  on,  by  modo  : 
si  quidem,  that  is  if,  since,  even  if,  si  modo,  if  only,  si  tamen,  at  least  if 
is  found  in  the  Augustan  poets  and  in  late  writers,  sive  .  .  .  slve  (seu  .  .  . 
seu)  or,  in  old  Latin,  si  .  .  .  slve,  whether  ...  or,  with  the  indicative  or 
the  subjunctive  of  the  indefinite  second  person  (1556),  leaves  a  choice  be¬ 
tween  two  cases  possible.  By  abbreviation  of  the  protasis  slve  becomes  a 
coordinating  particle  :  see  1672.

Conditional  Periods. 


[2020-2025. 


2020.  The  negative  of  si  is  si  non,  if  not  (si  nemo,  si  nullus, 
&c.),  or  nisi,  unless,  if  not,  used  especially  of  an  exception  or  after  a 
negative,  nisi  si,  chiefly  in  old,  colloquial,  or  late  Latin,  or,  particu¬ 
larly  in  solemn  language  or  poetry,  nl  is  sometimes  used  for  nisi.  A 
restriction,  usually  an  ironical  afterthought,  may  be  introduced  by 
nisi  forte  (rare  before  Cicero)  or  nisi  vero  (only  in  Cicero)  with  the 
indicative. 

nisi  is  sometimes  found  in  an  adversative  sense  in  old  and  colloquial 
Latin,  especially  after  nescio ;  from  Cicero  on,  it  may  be  strengthened  by 
tamen.  For  nisi  quod,  see  1848. 

2021.  When  a  second  conditional  period  is  opposed  to  a  first,  it  is  some¬ 
times  introduced  by  s!  (or  si  autem),  but  usually  by  sin  (or  sin  autem).  If 
the  second  period  is  negative,  and  its  verb  is  not  expressed,  minus  or  aliter 
is  preferred  to  non. 

CLASSES  OF  CONDITIONAL  PROTASES. 

2022.  Conditional  protases  may  be  divided  into  two  classes: 

2023.  I.  Indeterminate  protases,  that  is  such  as  merely  sup¬ 
pose  an  action,  without  implying  either  its  occurrence  or  its  non¬ 
occurrence  ;  these  may  take  : 

(A.)  Any  tense  of  the  indicative  required  by  the  sense  ;  or  (B.)  the  pres¬ 
ent  subjunctive,  less  frequently  the  perfect  subjunctive,  to  express  a  condition 
in  the  future. 

2024.  II.  Protases  of  action  non-occurrent,  that  is  such 
as  suppose  action  not  taking  place.  These  take  the  imperfect 
or  pluperfect  subjunctive. 

Thus,  in  the  period  si  dies  est,  lucet,  Inv .  1,  86,  if  it  is  day,  it  is  light,  the 
protasis  if  it  is  day  is  indeterminate,  neither  implying  that  it  is,  or  is  not  day. 
But  in  si  viveret,  verba  eius  audiretis,  if  he  were  alive,  you  would  hear  his 
evidence,  RC.  42,  the  protasis  denotes  action  non-occurrent,  if  he  were  alive , 
implying  but  he  is  not.  The  whole  period,  like  the  protasis,  is  either  an  Inde- 
ter rninate  Period  or  a  Period  of  Action  non-occurrent. 


I.  INDETERMINATE  PROTASES. 

(A.)  INDICATIVE  USE. 

2025.  The  indicative  in  a  conditional  protasis  may 

state  present,  past,  or  future  time. 

The  mood  and  tense  of  the  apodosis  are  determined  by  the  sense. 
The  following  combinations  occur:

210,  if  I  desert  him,  I  tremble  for  his  life,  assequor  omnia,  si  propero ;  si

is  ordinarily  used  of  future  time  (1612):  as,  occidi,  si  tu  vera  memoras, 
PI.  Most.  369,  I'm  a  dead  man,  if  what  you  say  is  true,  nunc  si  indicium

2063.  (<?.)  Apodosis  in  the  Imperative. 

Generally  the  longer  forms  of  the  imperative  are  used  (1577)  :  patrSnus 
si  clienti  fraudem  fecerit,  sacer  esto,  Twelve  Tables  in  Serv.  to  V.  6,  609, 
if  a  patron  shall  cheat  his  client,  let  him  be  doomed,  servitum  tibi  me  abdu- 
cito,  ni  fecerS,  PI.  Ps.  520,  if  I  don’t  do  it,  take  me  off  to  be  your  slave.  h5c 
si  effeceris,  quodvis  donum  a  me  optato,  T.  Eu.  1056,  if  you  do  this,  ask 
any  gift  you  please  of  me.  si  me  adsequi  potueris,  ut  tib!  videbitur, 
sepelito,  TD.  1,  103,  if  you  can  ever  find  me,  then  bury  me  as  you  think  best. 
Rarely  the  shorter  forms  :  inpinge  pugnum,  si  muttiverit,  PI.  B.  800,  drive 
your  fist  into  him  if  he  says  booh,  si  tumidos  accedere  fastus  senseris, 
incepto  parce  referque  pedem,  O.  A  A.  1,  715  ,if  thou  shall  see  disdain  come 
swelling  high,  give  o'er  and  beat  retreat. 


2064.  (f.)  Apodosis  in  the  Present  Subjunctive. 

sib!  habeat,  si  non  extemplo  ab  e5  abduxerS,  PI.  Per.  164,  he  may 

keep  her,  if  I  don’t  carry  her  off  that  minute  (1548).  caecum  me  ferri  con- 
fitear,  si  te  potuisse  superari  dixerS,  Plane.  6,  if  I  say  that  you  can  be  sur¬ 
passed,  I  should  own  myself  swept  along  like  a  blind  man  (1556).  turn 
magis  adsentiare,  si  ad  maiora  pervenero,  RP.  1,  62,  you  would  agree  all 
the  more  if  I  come  at  once  to  weightier  points  (1556). 


Some  Special  Uses. 

2065.  An  indicative  protasis  with  si  is  often  used  to  assume  a  general 
truth  as  a  proof  either  for  another  general  truth,  or  for  a  particular  fact. 

(a.)  si  voluptatis  sensum  capit,  dolores  etiam  capit,  DN.  3,  32,  if  it  is 
susceptible  of  pleasure,  it  is  also  susceptible  of  pain,  si  omnes,  qui  rli  pub- 
licae  consulunt,  cari  n5bis  esse  debent,  certe  in  primis  imperatores.  si 
ferae  partus  suos  diligunt,  qua  nos  in  liberbs  nostrbs  indulgentia  esse 
debemus,  DO.  2,  168,  if  all  people  who  are  devoted  to  the  public  service  are  dear 
to  us,  then  assuredly  our  military  men  ought  always  to  be  particularly  dear.  If 
wild  beasts  always  love  their  young,  htnu  kind  ought  we  always  to  be  to  our  own 
children,  (b.)  si  pietati  summa  tribuenda  laus  est,  debetis  moveri,  cum 
Q.  Metellum  tarn  pie  lugere  videatis,  DO.  2, 167,  if  filial  affection  is  always 
to  be  held  in  high  honour,  you  ought  to  be  tojiched  in  this  instance,  seeing  such 
affectiojiate  grief  i)i  Metellus.  si  nox  opportuna  est  eruption!,  sicut  est, 
haec  profectS  noctis  aptissima  hora  est,  L.  7,  35,  10,  if  night  is  alzvays 
favourable  for  a  sortie,  and  it  alzvays  is,  this  particular  hour  of  the  night  is  the 
very  best  time. 


Conditional  Periods. 


[2066-2068. 


2066.  An  indicative  protasis  with  si  often  assumes  a  fact,  past  or  present, 
as  an  argument  for  another  fact,  or  for  a  general  truth. 

In  this  case  the  apodosis,  which  is  usually  a  question,  often  takes  the  sub¬ 
junctive  (1565). 

si  Sulla  potuit  efficere,  ut  dictator  diceretur,  cur  hie  non  possit  ? 

Att.  9,  15,  2,  If  Sulla  could  succeed  in  being  appointed  dictator ,  why  cannot  this 

man  ?  si  Zenoni  licuit  inauditum  r€i  nomen  imponere,  cur  non  liceat 
Catoni  ?  Fin.  3,  15,  if  Zeno  7 uas  allowed  to  give  a  new  name  to  a  thing ,  why 
should  not  Cato  be  allowed ?  quod  si  Graeci  leguntur  a  Graecis,  quid  est 
cur  nostri  a  nostris  non  legantur  ?  Fin.  1,  6,  but  if  Greeks  are  read  by 
Greeks ,  why  should  not  Romans  be  read  by  Romans  ? 

2067.  An  indicative  protasis  with  si  often  assumes  a  fact  which  is  de¬ 
clared  in  the  apodosis  to  be  no  reason  for  another  fact. 

In  this  case  the  negative  usually  begins  the  period,  si,  for  which  quia 
or  etsl  is  sometimes  substituted,  sometimes  has  idcirco,  ilico,  or  continuS, 
rarely  propterea  or  ide5,  as  correlative  in  the  apodosis. 

non,  si  tib!  antea  profuit,  semper  proderit,  Ph.  8, 12,  even  if  it  has  done 
you  good  in  the  past ,  that  is  no  reason  why  it  ahvays  will  in  the  future,  non  si 
Opimium  defendisti,  ideired  te  isti  bonum  civem  putabunt,  DO.  2,  170, 
suppose  you  did  defend  Opimius,  that  is  no  reason  zvhy  your  friends  will  think 
you  a  patriot,  nec  si  omne  enuntiatum  aut  verum  aut  falsum  est, 
sequitur  ilico,  esse  causas  immutabilis,  quae  prohibeant  secus  cadere 
atque  casurum  sit,  Fat.  28,  and  even  if  every  declaration  is  either  true  or  false , 
it  docs  not  follow  zvithout  any  further  ado  that  there  are  unchangeable  causes  to 
prevent  a  thing  falling  out  different  frojn  the  way  it  promises  to  fall  out.  non 
continuo,  si  me  in  gregem  sicariorum  contuli,  sum  sicarius,  RA.  94,  it 
does  not  forthwith  follozu  that  if  I  have  joined  a  band  of  bravoes,  I  am  a  bravo. 

miror,  mirum  si. 

2068.  miror  or  mirum  est  (mira  sunt)  may  introduce  a  conditional  pro¬ 
tasis,  instead  of  a  clause  with  quod  (1851)  or  the  accusative  with  the  infini¬ 
tive  (2190). 

Generally  the  main  clause  is  actually  or  virtually  negatived:  as,  minus 
mirandumst,  illaec  aetas  si  quid  illorum  facit,  PI.  B.  409,  *tis  not  to  be  won¬ 
dered  at,  if  youth  does  things  like  that,  idne  tu.  mirare,  si  patrissat  filius  ? 
PI.  Ps.  442,  canyon,  sir,  zvonder  at  it  if  the  son  plays  the  father  ?  nec  mirum 
si  utebatur  consilid,  Quinct.  18,  and  it  is  no  wonder  if  he  followed  the  advice. 
mirer,  si  vana  vestra  auctoritas  est  ?  L.  3,  21,  4,  can  /  think  it  strange  if 
your  influence  is  of  no  account  (1565)  ?  Rarely  the  main  clause  is  positive  : 
as,  mirabar  h5c  si  sic  abiret,  T.  Andr.  175, 1  wondered  if  it  was  going  to  end 
so  (1 773).  miror  si  quemquam  amicum  habere  potuit,  Z.  54,  I  zuonder 
if  he  could  have  had  a  friend  in  the  world.  In  old  colloquial  style  mirum  ni 
is  found  :  as,  mirum  ni  hie  me  exossare  cogitat,  PI.  Am.  319,  strange  that 
he  does  if  t  think  of  boning  me.  ubi  nunc  ipsus  ?  :  :  mirum  ni  domist,  T. 
Andr.  598,  where  is  he  now  ?  : :  at  home  of  course.  So  once  in  Livy  :  mirum 
esse  ni  castra  hostium  oppugnentur,  L.  3,  28,  5,  that  he  shouldn't  be 
surprised  if  the  enemy's  camp  were  being  stormed  ( 1724).  gaudeo  si  is  found 
once  in  Cicero,  and  terreo,  metus  est  si,  or  the  like  occurs  a  few  times  in 
Tacitus.  For  si  in  expressions  of  trial,  hope,  expectation,  &c.,  see  1777.

2069-2071*]  Sentences:  The  Subordinate  Sentence. 


The  Subjunctive  for  the  Indicative. 

2069.  The  indicative  in  the  protasis  is  occasionally  replaced 
by  the  subjunctive,  as  follows  : 

2070.  (1.)  The  present  or  perfect  subjunctive  is  sometimes  used  in 
general  present  suppositions,  regularly  in  the  indefinite  second  person 
singular,  rarely  with  other  persons  (1730)  :  as, 

(a.)  nam  doll  non  doll  sunt  nisi  astu  colas,  sed  malum  maxumum,  si 
id  palam  provenit,  PI.  Cap.  221  ,for  tricks  are  never  tricks ,  unless  yon  handle 
them  with  craft ,  hit  damage  dire ,  in  case  the  thing  gets  out ;  here  the  indicative 
prdvenit  shows  that  colas  is  due  to  the  person,  nec  calidae  citius  dece- 
dunt  corpore  febres,  textilibus  si  in  picturis  ostrdque  rubenti  iacteris, 
quam  si  in  plebeia  veste  cubandum  est,  Lucr.  2,  34,  nor  sooner  will  hot 
fevers  leave  the  limbs,  if  on  gay  tapestries  and  blushing  purple  you  should  toss, 
than  if  perforce  your  bed  you  make  on  pallet  rude,  quod  est  difficile,  nisi 
speciem  prae  te  bonl  virl  feras,  Off.  2,  39,  and  this  is  a  hard  thing,  unless 
you  have  the  exterior  of  a  good  man.  nec  habere  virtutem  satis  est  nisi 
utare,  RP.  1,  2,  and  to  have  virtue  is  not  enough,  unless  one  use  it.  slquoi 
mutuom  quid  dederls,  fit  pr5  propriS  perditum,  PI.  Tri.  1051,  if  aught 
you ’ve  lent  to  anyone,  V  is  not  your  own ,  but  lost,  nam  nullae  magis  res 
duae  plus  negdti  habent,  si  occeperis  exornare,  PI.  Poen.  212,  for  no  two 
things  give  more  trouble  if  you  once  begin  to  fit  them  out.  nulla  est  excusatio 
peccati,  si  amici  causa  peccaveris,  L.  37,  it  is  no  excuse  for  a  sin  if  you 
have  sinned  from  friendship. 

(b.)  subs  quisque  oppriml  non  patitur,  neque,  aliter  si  faciat,  ullam 
inter  su5s  habet  auctoritatem,  6,  11,  4,  nobody  suffers  his  vassals  to  be  put 
dozun,  and  if  he  ever  act  otherwise,  he  has  no  influence  among  his  people. 
laeduntur  arteriae,  si  acri  clamore  compleantur,  Cornif.  3,  21,  it  always 
hurts  the  windpipe,  if  it  be  filled  out  with  a  sharp  scream,  turpis  excusatio 
est,  si  quis  contra  rem  publicam  se  amici  causa  fecisse  fateatur,  L.  40, 
it  is  always  a  discreditable  apology,  if  a  man  confess  that  he  has  been  unpatriotic 
from  motives  of  friendship.  Britanni  iniuncta  imperii  munera  impigre 
obeunt,  si  iniuriae  absint,  Ta.  Agr.  13,  the  Britons  are  always  perfectly  ready 
to  perform  the  duties  enjoined  on  them  by  the  Roman  government,  if  they  be  not 
maltreated. 

2071.  (2.)  The  imperfect  or  pluperfect  subjunctive  is  sometimes 
used  in  general  past  suppositions  (1730). 

This  use  begins  with  Catullus  and  Caesar,  the  indicative  being  the  regu¬ 
lar  classical  construction  (2044,  2050). 

chommoda  dicebat,  si  quando  commoda  vellet  dicere  Arrius,  Cat. 

84,  I,  hadvantages  said  Arrius,  if  advantages  he  ever  meant  to  say.  si  quis 
prehenderetur,  consensu  militum  eripiebatur,  Caes.  C.  3, 1 10,  4,  every  time 
a  man  was  taken  up,  he  was  rescued  by  the  joint  action  of  the  rank  and  file,  sin 
autem  locum  tenere  vellent,  nec  virtuti  locus  relinquebatur,  neque 
coniecta  tela  vitare  poterant,  5,  35,  4,  but  if  on  the  other  hand  they  under¬ 
took  to  hold  their  position,  there  zoas  never  any  opening  for  bravery,  nor  could 
they  ever  dodge  the  shower  of  missiles,  sin  Numidae  propius  accessissent. 
ibf  virtutem  ostendere,  S.  /.  58,  3,  they  showed  forth  their  valour  every  time

(B.)  SUBJUNCTIVE  USE. 

2072.  The  present  or  perfect  subjunctive  may  be 
used  in  a  conditional  protasis  of  future  time. 

2073.  T  he  apodosis  is  usually  in  the  present  subjunctive,  less  fre¬ 
quently  in  the  perfect  subjunctive.  The  imperfect  and  pluperfect 
subjunctive  are  rare  (2089). 

2074.  The  indicative  is  sometimes  used  in  the  apodosis,  especially 
in  expressions  of  ability,  duty,  &c.  (1495);  non  possum  is  regularly 
in  the  indicative  when  the  protasis  is  also  negative.  For  the  future 
indicative  the  periphrastic  form  is  sometimes  used. 

2075.  An  action  not  occurring,  or  from  the  nature  of  things  actually  im¬ 
possible,  may  of  course  be  represented  as  of  possible  occurrence.  In  old 
Latin,  in  particular,  the  present  subjunctive  is  very  commonly  used  of  action 
not  expected  to  occur,  in  preference  to  the  blunter  imperfect  (2091)  :  thus, 
si  hercle  haberem,  pollicerer,  PI.  E.  116,  in  sooth ,  I'd  offer  if  I  had,  is,  after¬ 
wards  put  bv  the  same  man,  si  hercle  habeam,  pollicear,  331,  in  sooth  I'm 
fain  to  offer ,  if  I  have.

Conversion  to  Past  Time. 

2o8g.  An  indeterminate  subjunctive  protasis  is  rarely  thrown  into  the 
past,  the  present  and  perfect  becoming  respectively  imperfect  and  pluper¬ 
fect.  In  this  case  the  form  is  the  same  as  that  of  a  protasis  of  action  non- 
occurrent  (2091),  and  the  conversion  occurs  only  when  it  is  evident  from  the 
context  that  past  action  is  supposed,  which  may  or  may  not  have  occurred  -. 
as, 

cur  igitur  et  Camillus  doleret,  si  haec  post  trecentSs  et  quinqua- 
ginta  fere  annos  eventura  putaret,  et  ego  doleam,  si  ad  decern  milia 
annorum  gentem  aliquam  urbe  nostra  potituram  putem  ?  TD.  1,  90, 

why  then  woidd  Camillas  have  fretted ,  if  he  thought  this  would  occur  after  a 
lapse  of  some  three  hundred  and  fifty  years,  and  why  should  I  fret,  if  I  think 
that  some  nation  may  seize  Rome  some  ten  thousand  years  hence  ?  erat  sola  ilia 
navis  constrata ;  quae  si  in  praedonum  pugna  versaretur,  urbis  instar 
habere  inter  illos  piraticos  myopardnes  videretur,  V.  5,  89,  this  zuas  the 
only  vessel  with  a  deck  ;  and  supposing  she  figured  in  the  engagement  with  the 
corsairs ,  she  woidd  have  loomed  up  like  a  town,  surrounded  by  those  pirate  cock¬ 
boats.  Sardus  habebat  ille  Tigellius  hoc;  Caesar  si  peteret  non  quic- 
quam  proficeret,  H.  S.  1,3,  4,  Tigellius  the  Sardian  had  this  way ;  suppos¬ 
ing  Caesar  asked  him,  naught  had  he  availed. 


Periods  of  Exemplification. 

2090.  The  present  subjunctive  is  particularly  common  in  exemplifica¬ 
tion.  The  perfect  is  sometimes  used  in  the  protasis,  rarely  in  the  apodo¬ 
sis  :  as, 

si  pater  fana  expilet,  indicetne  id  magistratibus  filius  ?  Off.  3,  90,  if 

a  father  should  plunder  temples,  would  the  son  report  it  to  the  magistrates  ?  si 

quis  pater  familias  supplicium  n5n  sumpserit,  utrum  is  clemens  an 
crudelissimus  esse  videatur  ?  C.  4, 12,  assume  for  the  sake  of  argument  that 
a  householder  have  not  inflicted  punishment,  woidd  he  seem  mercif  ul,  or  a  mon¬ 
ster  of  cruelty?  si  scieris  aspidem  occulte  latere  uspiam,  et  velle  ali- 
quem  imprudentem  super  earn  adsidere,  improbe  feceris,  nisi 
monueris  ne  adsidat,  Fin.  2,  59,  suppose  a  man  should  know,  e.g.  that  there 
was  a  snake  hiding  somewhere,  and  that  somebody  zuas  going  to  sit  dozun  on  the 
snake  unazuares  ;  he  would  do  wrong,  if  he  did  not  tell  him  he  must  not  sit  dozun 
there.  In  such  periods  the  future  is  also  used,  but  less  frequently  :  see  2054.

II.  PROTASES  OF  ACTION  NON-OCCURRENT. 

2091.  A  conditional  period  in  which  the  non-occur¬ 
rence  of  the  action  is  implied  takes  the  imperfect  or 
pluperfect  subjunctive  both  in  the  protasis  and  in  the 
apodosis.  The  imperfect  usually  denotes  present  or 
indefinite  time,  and  the  pluperfect  denotes  past  time. 

2092.  The  imperfect  sometimes  denotes  past  time.  When  future 
time  is  referred  to,  the  protasis  is  usually  in  the  imperfect  of  the 
periphrastic  future,  commonly  the  subjunctive,  but  sometimes  the  in¬ 
dicative  (210S). 

2093.  The  apodosis  is  very  rarely  in  the  present  subjunctive  (2096). 
The  periphrastic  future  is  sometimes  used,  commonly  in  the  indicative 
(2097,  2100). 

(1.)  Protasis  in  the  Imperfect  Subjunctive. 

2094.  («•)  Apodosis  in  the  Imperfect  Subjunctive.

out ,  if  he  were  in.  is  iam  pridem  est  mortuus.  si  viveret,  verba  eius 
audiretis,  PC.  42,  that  person  has  long  been  dead;  if  he  were  alive,  you  would 
hear  his  evidence,  adnuere  te  video  ;  proferrem  libros,  si  negares,  DAI. 
1,  1 13,  7  see  you  nod  asse?it ;  I  should  bring  out  the  books ,  if  you  maintained 
the  opposite,  si  L.  Mummius  aliquem  istorum  videret  Corinthium 
cupidissime  tractantem,  utrum  ilium  civem  excellentem,  an  atrien- 
sem  diligentem  putaret  ?  Par.  38,  if  Mummius  should  see  one  of  your  con¬ 
noisseurs  nursing  a  piece  of  Corinthian,  and  going  into  perfect  ecstasies  over 
it,  what  would  he  think?  that  the  man  was  a  model  citizen  or  a  thoroughly 
competent  indoor-man  ?  quod  si  semper  optima  tenere  possemus,  haud 
sane  consilid  multum  egeremus,  OP.  89,  now  if  we  could  always  be  in 
possession  of  what  is  best,  we  should  not  ever  stand  in  any  special  need  of 
reasoning. 

(b.)  Protasis  and  apodosis  both  denoting  past  action:  haec  si  neque 
ego  neque  tu  fecimus,  n5n  siit  egestas  facere  n5s  ;  nam  si  esset  unde 
id  fieret,  faceremus  ;  et  tu  ilium  tuom,  si  esses  homo,  sineres  nunc 
facere,  T.  Ad.  103,  if  neither  you  nor  I  have  acted  thus,  ’ twas  poverty  that 
stinted  us;  for  if  we  ’d  had  the  means,  we  should  have  done  so  too;  and  you 
would  let  that  boy  of  yours,  if  you  were  human ,  do  it  now.  Here  esset  refers 
to  past  time,  esses  to  present,  num  igitur  eum,  si  turn  esses,  temera- 
rium  civem  putares  ?  Pit.  8,  14,  would  you  therefore  have  thought  him ,  if  you 
had  lived  then ,  a  hotheaded  citizen  ?  si  universa  provincia  loqui  posset, 
hac  voce  uteretur ;  quoniam  id  non  poterat,  harum  rerum  actorem  ipsa 
delegit,  Caecil.  19,  if  the  collective  province  could  have  spoken,  she  would  have 
used  these  words ;  but  since  she  could  not,  she  chose  a  manager  for  the  case 
herself.

quin  labebar  longius,  nisi  me  retinuissem,  Leg.  1,  52,  why,  I  was  going

tum  esset,  matres  iliorum  veniebant,  V.  5,  129,  if  Metellus  had  not  pre¬ 
vented ,  the  mothers  of  those  people  were  just  coming ;  here  the  protasis  may  be 
held  to  contain  a  virtual  negative  ;  so  in  the  last  example  on  this  page,

Ta.  H.  3, 46,  they  were  preparing  to  destroy  the  camp,  had  not  Mucianus  checked

2107.  (< c .)  Apodosis  in  the  Pluperfect  Indicative.

MG.  52, five  hundred ,  had  your  glaive  not  blunted  been ,  at  one  fell  swoop  you’d 

slain,  praeclare  viceramus,  nisi  Lepidus  recepisset  Antonium,  Fain. 
12,  10,  3,  we  had  gained  a  splendid  victory ,  if  Lepidus  had  not  taken  Antony 
under  his  protection,  quod  ipsum  fortuna  eripuerat,  nisi  unius  amici 
opes  subvenissent,  RabP.  48,  even  this  boon  J or  tune  had  wrenched  from

sword,  I  had  still  earned  my  triumph,  perierat  imperium,  si  Fabius  tan- 
tum  ausus  esset  quantum  ira  suadebat,  Sen.  de  Ira,  1,  n,  5,  the  empire 
had  been  lost ,  if  Fabius  had  ventured  as  far  as  passion  urged. 


2108.  (3.)  Periphrastic  Protasis. 

(a.)  ac  si  tibl  nemo  responsurus  esset,  tamen  causam  demonstrare 
non  posses,  Caecil.  43,  and  even  supposing  that  nobody  were  going  to  answer 
you,  still  you  would  nut  be  able  to  make  the  case  good  (2092).  pluribus  vds,

men  (2092).  (b.)  si  domum  tuam  expugnaturus  eram,  non  tempe- 

rassem  vino  in  unum  diem?  L.  40,  14,  4,  if  I  intended  to  capture  your 
house ,  should  1  not  have  abstained from  wine  for  a  day  (2092)  ? 


Variation  of  the  Protasis. 

2109.  Instead  of  a  conditional  protasis  with  si  or  nisi,  equivalents 
are  often  used. 

2110.  Thus,  the  protasis  may  be  coordinated  (1701),  or  be  introduced  by 
a  relative  pronoun  (1812),  by  quod  (1843),  cum  (x^59»  xS6o),  ubi  (1932),  ut 
or  ne  (1963),  dum,  dum  modo,  modo  ( 2003),  or  quando  (2011).  Or  the 
protasis  may  be  intimated  by  sin e,  without,  cum,  with,  by  a  participle  or  abla¬ 
tive  absolute,  by  a  wish,  or  otherwise  :  as, 

{a.)  nemo  umquam  sine  magna  spe  immortalitatis  se  pr5  patria 

offerret  ad  mortem,  TD.  1,  32,  nobody  would  ever  expose  himself  to  death  for 
his  country  without  a  well-grounded  conviction  of  immortality,  cum  hac  dote 
poteris  vel  mendicS  nubere,  PI.  Per.  396,  with  such  a  dowry  you  can 
e'en  a  beggar  wed.  Sulla,  credo,  hunc  petentem  repudiasset,  Arch.  25, 
Sulla,  I  suppose,  would  have  turned  my  client  away,  if  he  petitioned  him.  quae 
legentem  fefellissent,  transferentem  fugere  non  possunt,  Plin.  Ep.  7,  9, 
2,  what  would  have  escaped  a  reader  can't  escape  a  translator,  vivere  ego 
Britannico  potiente  rerum  poteram?  Ta.  13,  21  ,as  for  me,  could  I  live,  if 
Britannieus  were  on  the  throne  (2102)  ?  nisi  te  salvS  salvl  esse  non  possu- 
mus,  Marc.  32,  without  you  safe,  safe  we  cannot  be.  aspiceres  utinam,

(b.)  habet  drationem  talem  cdnsul,  qualem  numquam  Catilina 
victor  habuisset,  Sest.  28,  he  makes  a  speech  — yes,  and  he  a  consul  —  such  as 
a  Catiline  would  never  have  made ,  if  flushed  with  success,  reverearis  occur- 
sum,  non  reformides,  Plin.  Ep.  1,  10,  7,  you  might  well  be  abashed  in  his

of  absque  in  a  coordinate  protasis  in  Plautus  and  Terence,  see  1701,  1421. 

21 1 1.  The  verb  of  the  protasis  is  sometimes  omitted  :  as  in  abridged  sen¬ 
tences  (1057),  or  when  it  may  be  easily  supplied  (1036). 

aut  enim  nemo,  aut  si  quisquam,  ille  sapiens  fuit,  L.  9,  for  either  no¬ 
body  or ,  if  anybody,  that  was  a  wise  man.  si  eveniet,  gaudebimus  :  sin  secus, 
patiemur,  PI.  Cas.  377,  if  it  shall  come  to  pass,  glad  shall  we  be  ;  if  else,  we  shall 
endure,  me  voluisse,  si  haec  civitas  est,  civem  esse  me  ;  si  ndn,  exsu- 
lem  esse,  Fain.  7,  3,  5,  that  I  wished,  if  this  is  a  commonwealth,  to  be  a  citizen 
of  it ;  if  it  is  not,  to  be  an  exile,  sumeret  alicunde  ...  si  nullo  alio  pacto, 
faenore,  T.  Ph.  299,  he  could  have  got  it  from  somebody  or  other  ...  if  in  no 
other  way,  on  usury  (2113). 

Variation  of  the  Apodosis. 

2112.  The  apodosis  is  sometimes  represented  by  the  accusative  of  ex¬ 
clamation  (1149),  or  the  vocative  :  as, 

mortalem  graphicum,  si  servat  fidem,  PI.  Ps.  519,  O  what  a  pattern  \ 
creature,  if  he  keeps  his  word,  o  miserum  te,  si  intellegis,  miseridrem,  si 
ndn  intellegis,  hoc  litteris  mandari,  Ph.  2.  54,  wretched  man  if  you  are 
aware,  more  wretched  if  you  are  not  aware,  that  all  this  is  put  down  in  black 
and  white,  inimice  lamnae,  Crispe  Sallusti,  nisi  temperato  splendeat 
usu,  H.  2,  2,  2,  thou  foe  to  bullion,  Crispus  SaUuslius,  so  it  shine  not  with  tem¬ 
pered  use. 

2113.  The  verb  of  the  apodosis,  or  the  entire  apodosis,  is  often 
omitted.  In  the  latter  case  an  appended  verb  might  easily  be  mis¬ 
taken  for  the  apodosis. 

quid  si  caelum  ruat  ?  T.  Han.  719,  what  if  the  sky  should  fall?  quo 
mihi  fortunam,  si  ndn  conceditur  uti  ?  H.  E.  1,  5,  12,  why  wealth  for  me, 
if  wealth  I  may  not  use  ?  nisi  restituissent  statuas,  vehem  enter  minatur, 
V.  2,  162,  he  threatens  vengeance  dire,  if  they  did  not  put  the  statues  back  in  their 
place,  quae  supplicatio  si  cum  ceteris  conferatur,  hoc  interest,  C.  3,  15, 
if  this  thanksgiving  be  compared  with  all  others ,  there  would  be  found  the  follow¬ 
ing  difference.  ndn  edepol  ubi  terrarum  sim  scio,  si  quis  roget,  PI.  Am.

8,  if  anybody  believe  such  a  man  as  Valerius,  there  were  forty  thousand  of  the 
enemy  slain.  A  clause  with  si  or  nisi  is  often  used  parenthetically :  as,  si 
placet,  si  videtur,  sis,  sultis,  if  you  please,  si  quaeris,  if  you  must  know,  in 
fact,  si  dis  placet,  please  heaven,  nisi  me  fallit,  if  I  am  not  mistaken,  &c., 
&c.  For  wishes  introduced  by  o  si,  without  an  apodosis,  see  1546.

Conditional  Periods .  [2 1 1 4-2 1 1 6. 


2114.  The  apodosis  is  sometimes  expanded  by  inserted  expressions.  So 
particularly  by  vereor  ne,  equivalent  to  fortasse  (1958),  non  dubito  quin, 
to  profecto  (1986),  or  a  form  of  sum  with  a  relative  pronoun :  as, 

quae  conetur  si  velim  commemorare,  vereor  ne  quis  existimet 
me  causam  nobilitatis  voluisse  laedere,  RA.  135,  if  I  should  undertake  to 
set  forth  his  high  and  mighty  schemes ,  possibly  it  might  be  thought  that  I  wished 
to  damage  the  cause  of  the  conservatives,  si  turn  P.  Sestius  animam  edidis- 
set,  n5n  dubito  quin  aliquando  statua  huic  statueretur,  Sest.  83,  if  Sestius 
had  given  up  the  ghost  then ,  a  statue  would  doubtless  at  some  day  have  been  set 
up  in  his  honour,  quod  ille  si  repudiasset,  dubitatis  quin  6i  vis  esset  ad- 
lata  ?  Sest.  62,  if  he  had  rejected  this ,  have  you  any  doubt  that  violent  hands 
would  have  been  laid  on  him  ?  sescenta  sunt  quae  memorem,  si  sit  otium, 
PI.  Aul.  320,  there  are  a  thousand  things  that  I  could  tell ,  if  I  had  time. 

2115.  For  expressions  of  trial,  hope,  or  expectation,  followed  by  a  conditional 
protasis  with  si,  see  1777. 


Concessive  Protases. 

etsi,  tametsi  (tamenetsi),  etiamsi. 

2116.  etsi,  tametsi,  though ,  etiamsi,  even  if  or  sometimes  sim¬ 
ple  si,  if  is  used  to  introduce  a  concessive  protasis.  The  verb  of  the 
protasis  is  either  indicative  or  subjunctive;  but  the  indicative  is  the 
prevailing  construction,  especially  with  etsi.  The  apodosis  often  has 
tamen  as  an  adversative  correlative,  even  with  tametsi. 

etsi  is  rare  in  poetry  ;  not  in  .Sallust.  Sometimes  it  is  used  like  quam- 
quam  to  append  a  fresh  main  sentence  (2153).  tametsi  belongs  chiefly  to 
colloquial  style,  though  Sallust  often  uses  it;  not  in  the  Augustan  poets  or 
Tacitus. 

(a.)  non  vidi  earn,  etsi  vidi,  PI.  MG.  407,  I  saw  her  not .  although  I  saw 
her.  quo  me  habeam  pacto,  tametsi  n5n  quaeris,  docebS,  Lucilius  in 
Gell.  18.  8,  2,  I'll  tell  you  how  I  am,  though  you  do  not  inquire,  etiamsi 
multi  mecum  contendent.  tamen  omnis  superabd,  Fam.  5,  8,  4,  though  / 
shall  have  many  rivals,  yet  I  will  outdo  them  all.  tametsi  causa  postulat, 
tamen  praeteribo.  Quine  t.  it,,  though  the  case  calls  for  it,  still  I  will  let  it  pass. 
Caesar,  etsi  in  his  locis  maturae  sunt  hiemes,  tamen  in  Britanniam 
proficisci  contendit,  4,  20,  I,  though  the  winter  always  sets  in  early  in  these 
tarts,  nevertheless  Caesar  made  haste  to  proceed  to  Britain.  Caesar,  etsi  intel- 
legebat,  qua  de  causa  ea  dicerentur.  Indutiomarum  ad  se  venire  iussit, 
5,  4,  I,  though  Caesar  was  aware  of  his  motives  in  saying  so,  he  directed  In- 
dutiomarus  to  come  to  him. 

(b.)  etsi  taceas,  palam  id  quidem  est,  PI.  Aul.  418,  though  you  should 
hold  your  tongue .  still  that  at  least  is  plain,  etsi  nihil  aliud  Sullae  nisi  con- 
sulatum  abstulissetis,  tamen  eo  contentos  v5s  esse  oportebat,  Sull.  90, 
even  though  you  had  robbed  Sulla  of  nothing  bid  the  consulship,  still  you  ought 
to  be  satisfied  with  that,  equidem,  etiamsi  oppetenda  mors  esset,  in 
patria  mallem  quam  in  externis  locis,  Fam.  4,  7,4 ,for  my  part,  men  though 
death  were  to  be  faced,  I  should  prefer  it  in  my  native  land  rather  than  abroad .

Conditional  Comparisons. 

quasi  (quam  si),  tamquam  si,  ut  or  velut  si. 

2117.  si  following  a  word  meaning  than  or  as  is  used  with  the 
subjunctive  in  conditional  comparisons. 

In  this  use,  quasi  (quam  si  twice  in  Tacitus)  and  tamquam  si  are  found 
at  all  periods,  ut  si  is  found  in  Terence  once,  in  Cicero  (not  in  the  ora¬ 
tions),  once  in  Livy,  sometimes  in  later  writers,  velut  si  begins  with  Caesar  ; 
not  in  Cicero. 

2118.  si  is  often  omitted  after  tamquam,  and  (from  Livy  on)  sometimes 
after  velut.  After  quasi  it  is  sometimes  inserted  in  Plautus,  Lucretius,  and 
late  Latin,  ceu  is  sometimes  used,  chiefly  in  poetry,  for  tamquam  si.  The 
main  clause  often  has  as  correlative  ita,  sic,  perinde,  proinde,  similiter,  or 
non  secus. 

2119.  The  tense  of  the  subjunctive  is  usually  regulated  by  the 
sequence  of  tenses  :  as, 

quid  me  sic  salutas  quasi  dudum  non  videris  ?  PI.  Am.  682,  why 
dost  thou  greet  me  thus  as  if  but  now  thou  hadst  not  looked  on  me?  quid  ego 
his  testibus  utor,  quasi  res  dubia  sit?  Caecil.  14,  why  do  /  employ  these 
witnesses,  as  if  it  were  a  case  involving  doubt?  tamquam  si  claudus  sim, 
cum  fustist  ambulandum,  PI.  As.  427,  I  have  to  take  my  walks  with  a  stick, 
as  if  I  were  a  lame  man.  tamquam  extruderetur,  ita  cucurrit,  Ph.  10,  10, 
he  rushed  away  as  if  he  had  been  kicked  out.  quod  absentis  Ariovisti  cru- 
delitatem,  velut  si  coram  adesset,  horrerent,  1,  32,  4,  because  they  trembled 
at  A  riovistus’s  barbarity,  absent  as  he  was,  just  as  if  he  stood  before  their  eyes. 
me  quoque  iuvat,  velut  ipse  in  parte  laboris  ac  periculi  fuerim,  ad 
finem  belli  Punici  pervenisse,  L.  31, 1,  1, 1  feel  glad  myself  at  having  finally 
reached  the  end  of  the  Punic  war,  as  if  I  had  had  a  direct  hand  in  the  work  and 
the  danger. 

2120  The  imperfect  or  pluperfect  subjunctive  is  sometimes  used,  even 
when  the  leading  verb  is  in  a  primary  tense,  to  mark  action  more  distinctly 
as  non-occurrent  (2091)  :  as, 

eius  negotium  sic  velim  suscipias,  ut  si  esset  res  mea,  Pam.  2,  14,  I 

wish  you  zoould  undertake  his  business,  just  as  if  it  were  my  ozun  affair,  me

dum  perinde  aestimandum  quam  si  Iovem  fefellisset,  Ta.  1,  73,  as  for 
the  oath,  it  must  be  counted  exactly  as  if  he  had  broken  one  sworn  on  the  name  of 
Jupiter. 

2121.  quasi,  tamquam,  ut,  or  velut,  as  if,  is  sometimes  used  with  par¬ 
ticiple  constructions,  nouns,  and  abridged  expressions  :  as,

2122.  In  old  Latin,  quasi  is  found  a  few  times  for  the  original  quam  si  after 
1  comparative :  as,  me  nemo  magis  respiciet,  quasi  abhinc  ducentos  an- 
n5s  fuerim  mortuos,  PI.  Tru.  340,  nobody  will  pay  any  more  attention  to  me 
than  if  I  had  been  dead  two  centuries.  It  is  also  used  (but  not  in  classical  Latin) 
in  periods  of  actual  comparison,  like  tamquam  (1908),  with  the  indicative:  as, 
spumat  quasi  in  aequore  salso  fervescunt  undae,  Lucret.  3,  493,  he  foams 
iust  as  the  waters  boil  in  the  salt  sea.  For  its  use  in  figurative  comparisons,  see  1908, 
1944.  For  tamquam  introducing  a  reason,  see  1909. 


CONNECTION  OF  SEPARATE  SENTENCES 

OR  PERIODS. 

2123.  Separate  sentences  or  periods  have  a  connective  more 
commonly  in  Latin  than  in  English.  Sometimes,  however,  like  the 
members  of  single  periods,  they  are  for  special  reasons  put  asyndeti - 
cally  (1637). 


(A.)  Without  a  Connective. 

2124.  Asyndeton  is  common  with  two  or  more  separate 
sentences  or  periods  : 

2125.  (a.')  To  represent  a  series  of  actions  as  occurring  at  the 
same  moment:  as, 

hie  diffisus  suae  saluti  ex  tabernaculd  prodit ;  videt  imminere 
hostes  ;  capit  arma  atque  in  porta  consistit ;  consequuntur  hunc  cen- 
turidnes;  relinquit  animus  Sextium  gravibus  acceptis  vulneribus,  6,  38, 

2,  despairing  of  his  life,  he  comes  out  of  the  tent  ;  sees  the  enemy  close  at  hand ; 
seizes  arms  and  takes  his  siatid  at  the  gate  ;  the  centurions  rally  round  him  ; 
Sextius  becomes  unconscious,  receiving  severe  wounds . 

2126.  ( b .)  When  an  occurrence  is  represented  as  consisting  of 
many  successive  actions  :  the  Enumerative  Asyndeton  :  as, 

peroravit  aliquando,  adsedit.  surrexi  ego.  respirare  visus  est, 
quod  non  alius  potius  diceret.  coepi  dicere.  usque  eo  animadvert!, 
iudices,  eum  alias  res  agere,  antequam  Chrysogonum  nominavi;  quern 
simul  atque  attigl,  statim  homo  se  erexit,  mirari  visus  est.  intellexi 
quid  eum  pupugisset,  KA.60,  after  a  while  he  wound  up,  took  his  seat ;  up 
rose  your  humble  servant.  He  seemed  to  take  courage  from  the  fact  it  was  no¬ 
body  else.  I  began  to  speak.  I  noticed,  gentlemen,  that  he  was  inattentive  all 
along  till  I  named  Chrysogonus  ;  but  the  moment  I  touched  on  him,  the  creature 
perked  up  at  once,  seemed  to  be  surprised.  I  knew  what  the  rub  was. 

2127.  (0.)  When  the  last  sentence  sums  up  the  result  of  the  pre¬ 
ceding  with  emphasis  :  the  Asyndeton  of  Summary  :  as,

or  strove  to  interest  people  in  their  parents .  In  short ,  it  was  one  scene  of  terror 
and  lamentation. 


(B.)  With  a  Connective. 

2128.  Separate  sentences  or  periods  may  be  connected  : 
(1.)  by  pronominal  words:  (a.)  demonstrative  or  determina¬ 
tive;  ( b .)  relative;  (2.)  by  conjunctions  and  adverbs.

new  period.  In  English  the  equivalent  word  is  usually  placed  not 
at  the  beginning  as  a  connective,  but  after  some  words. 

Gallia  est  divisa  in  partes  tres,  quarum  unam  incolunt  Belgae, 
aliam  Aquitani,  tertiam  Celtae.  hi  omnes  lingua,  institutis,  legibus 
inter  se  differunt,  1,  1,  1,  Gaul  is  divided  into  three  parts,  one  of  which  is  occu¬ 
pied  by  Belgians ,  another  by  A quitanians ,  and  the  third  by  Kells.  In  language, 
customs,  and  laws  these  are  all  different  fro7n  each  other,  apud  Helvetios 
nSbilissimus  fuit  Orgetorix.  is  M.  Messala  et  M.  Pisone  consulibus 
coniuratiSnem  nobilitatis  fecit,  1,  2,  1,  amo7ig  the  Helvctia7is  the  man  of 
highest  rank  was  Orgetorix.  In  the  consulship  of  Messala  a7id  Piso  he  got  up  a 
conspiracy  amo7ig  the  nobles,  angustos  se  finis  habere  arbitrabantur. 
his  rebus  adducti  ednstituerunt  ea  quae  ad  proficiscendum  pertinerent 
comparare.  ad  eas  res  cdnficiendas  biennium  sib!  satis  esse  dtixerunt. 
ad  eas  res  conficiendas  Orgetorix  deligitur.  is  sib!  legationem  sus- 
cepit,  1,  2,  5,  they  thought  they  had  a  7iarrow  territory  ;  so  they  resolved  in 
co7iseque7tce  to  77iake  such  preparatio7is  as  were  7iecessary  for  a  77iove.  They 
co7isidered  two  years  a7nple  to  do  this.  Orgetorix  is  chose7i  to  do  this.  He  took 
up 071  hi77iself  the  office  of  e7ivoy. 

2130.  Particularly  common  are  demonstrative  words  at  the 
beginning  of  a  new  period,  to  show  that  the  first  action  necessarily 
took  place  or  was  natural. 

Dionysius  tyrannus  Syracusis  expulsus  Corinthi  puerSs  docebat ; 
usque  eo  imperio  carere  non  poterat,  TD.  3,  27,  after  his  expulsion  fro7n 
Syracuse,  the  tyrant  Dionysius  kept  school  at  Co7'inth  ;  so  incapable  was  he  of 
gettuig  along  without  governi7:g.

(. b .)  Relatives  as  Connectives. 

2131.  qui  serves  to  connect  a  new  period  when  it  may  be  trans¬ 
lated  by  a  demonstrative,  or  when  it  is  equivalent  to  et  is,  is  autem, 
is  enim,  is  igitur:  as, 

perpetraret  Anicetus  promissa.  qui  nihil  cunctatus  poscit  sum- 
mam  sceleris,  Ta.  14,  7,  Anicetus  must  carry  out  his  agreement.  Without  any 
ado  he  asks  to  have  the  entire  management  of  the  crime.  For  other  examples, 
see  1835. 

2132.  The  neuter  accusative  quod,  as  to  that,  as  to  which , 
whereas ,  now,  so,  is  used  to  connect  a  new  period,  especially  before 
si,  nisi,  etsi,  utinam  (1837)  :  as, 

quod  si  tu  valeres,  iam  mih!  quaedam  explorata  essent,  Att.  7,  2,6, 
whereas  if  you  zvere  zvell  yourself,  some  points  would  have  been  clear  to  me  before 
this.  quod  si  diutius  alatur  controversia,  fore  uti  pars  cum  parte 
civitatis  cSnfllgat,  7,  32,  5,  now  if  the  dispute  be  kept  up  any  longer,  one  half 
of  the  community  would  quarrel  with  the  other,  quod  nisi  milites  essent 
defessi,  omnes  hostium  copiae  delerl  potuissent,  7,  88,  6,  so  if  the 
soldiers  had  not  been  utterly  spent,  all  the  forces  of  the  enemy  might  have  been 
exterminated. 


(2.)  CONJUNCTIONS  AND  ADVERBS. 

2133.  The  conjunctions  and  adverbs  used  to  coordinate  sentences 
are:  (a.)  copulative  and  disjunctive ;  (h.)  concessive  and  adversative  ; 
(c.)  causal  and  illative. 


(a.)  Copulative  and  Disjunctive. 

et,  neque  or  nee,  -que,  atque  or  ac,  aut. 

et. 

2134.  et,  and,  simply  adds,  as  in  English  (1645).  But  it  is 
often  used  in  such  a  connection  that  a  modification  of  the  trans¬ 
lation  is  required  to  bring  out  the  sense. 

2135.  et  may  continue  the  discourse  with  a  concessive  sentence, 
which  is  to  be  followed  by  an  adversative.  In  such  cases  quidem 
often  stands  in  the  concessive  sentence:  as, 

prlmores  civitatis  eadem  orant.  et  ceterl  quidem  movebant  minus  ; 
postquam  Sp.  Lucretius  agere  coepit,  consul  abdicavit  se  consulate, 

L.  2,  2,  8,  the  head  men  of  the  state  make  the  same  request.  Nozv  the  others  did 
not  influence  him  much.  But  zvhezi  Lucretius  began  to  take  steps  the  consul  re¬ 
signed  his  consulship.

2136.  et,  and  strange  to  say ,  and  if  you'd  believe  it,  introduces 
something  unexpected :  as,

Tacfarinas,  Ta.  4,  23,  there  were  already  three  triumphal  statues  in  Rome,  and, 
strange  to  say,  Tacfarinas  was  still  harrying  Africa. 

2137.  et,  and  really ,  and  in  fact ,  and  to  be  sure ;  in  this  sense  it 
is  usually  followed  immediately  by  the  verb :  as, 

multa  quae  n5n  volt  videt.  et  multa  fortasse  quae  volt !  CM.  25, 

one  sees  much  that  one  would  not.  Aye ,  and  much  perhaps  that  one  would l

litabant.  et  ex  Campania  nuntiata  erant  Capuae  sepulchra  aliquot  de

prodigies  were  reported,  and  they  could  not  readily  obtain  good  omens  ;  namely 
from  Campania  it  was  reported  that  at  Capua  several  tombs  were  struck  by 
lightning. 

2139.  et,  and  also ,  and  besides :  as, 

Punicae  quoque  vlctoriae  signum  octo  ducti  elephant!,  et  non 
minimum  fuere  spectaculum  praecedentes  Sosis  et  Moericus,  L.  26, 

21,  9,  as  an  emblem  of  the  Picnic  victory  also,  elephants  to  the  member  of  eight 
marched  in  parade.  And  furthermore  not  the  least  attractive  part  of  the  pageant 
were  Sosis  and  Moericus,  moving  at  the  head  of  the  line. 

2140.  et,  and  yet,  introduces  a  contrast  or  opposition:  as, 

canorum  illud  in  voce  splendescit  etiam  in  senectute,  quod  equi- 
dem  adhuc  non  amis! ;  et  videtis  annos,  CM.  28,  the  musical  element  in

sules  intervenissent,  L.  2,  23,  9,  it  was  with  great  personal  risk  to  such  of  the 
fathers  as  happened  to  be  in  the  market  place,  that  they  got  into  the  crowd.  And 
in  fact  acts  of  violence  would  have  occurred,  unless  the  consuls  had  made  haste  to 
interfere. 

2142.  nec,  and  to  be  sure  .  .  .  not:  as,

displayed  axes  bound  in  them.  And  to  be  sure  they  explained  the  matter  thus, 
that  there  would  have  been  no  propriety  in  having  the  axe  taken  out,  since  the 
officers  were  appointed  without  any  appeal.

fuit,  L.  4,  25,  6,  that  year  the  violence  of  the  plague  grew  less.  Nor  was  there 
any  danger  from  lack  of  grain  either.

this  god  he  assigned  two  special  priests.  And  he  likewise  chose  maids  for  Vesta. 

2146.  -que,  and  in  fact ,  and  so ,  and  in  getieral :  as, 

turn  quoque  male  pugnatum  est.  obsessaque  urbs  foret,  ni  Hora- 
tius  esset  revocatus,  L.  2,  51,  2,  then  also  there  was  an  unsuccessful  engage¬ 
ment.  And  in  fact  Rome  would  have  been  besieged ,  unless  Horatius  had  been 
recalled. 

atque  or  ac.

ex  quo  efficitur  animantem  esse  mundum.  atque  ex  hoc  quoque 
intellegi  poterit  in  eo  inesse  intellegentiam,  quod  certe  est  mundus 
melior  quam  ulla  natura,  DN.  2,  32, from  which  it  follows  that  the  universe 
is  alive.  And  more  than  that ,  we  can  see  that  it  has  sense  from  the  following 
circumstance,  that  the  universe  is  certaiiily  superior  to  any  element  of  the 
universe. 

2148.  atque,  and  so,  and  consequently  :  as, 

impedior  religione  quominus  expSnam  quam  multa  P.  Sestius 
senserit.  atque  nihil  dico  praeter  unum,  Best.  8,  I  am  prevented  by 

scruples  from  setting  forth  how  much  Sestius  was  aware  of.  And  so  I  will  only 
say  one  thing. 


aut. 

2149.  aut  is  used  to  add  a  new  sentence  in  the  sense  of  aliSqui,  or  else, 
otherwise,  or  as  if  nisi,  unless,  preceded :  as, 

omnia  bene  sunt  6i  dicenda,  aut  eloquentiae  nomen  relinquendum 
est,  DO.  2,  5,  he  must  be  able  to  speak  well  on  all  subjects,  or  else  he  must  waive

2151-2154*]  Sentences:  Connection  of  Sentences. 


Plinius  et  Cluvius  nihil  dubitatum  de  fide  praefecti  referunt. 
sane  Fabius  inclinat  ad  laudes  Senecae,  Ta.  13,  20,  Pliny  and  Cluvius 
say  that  there  was  no  doubt  about  the  loyalty  of  the  prefect.  Fabius ,  it  must  be 
admitted,  is  always  inclined  to  eulogize  Seneca,  id  fortasse  non  perfecimus  ; 
conatl  quidem  saepissime  sumus,  O.  210,  perhaps  we  have  not  attained  to 
it ;  still  we  have  very  often  made  the  attempt. 

2151.  A  new  adversative  sentence  is  introduced  by  autem.  again , 
sed,  verum,  but ,  vero,  but ,  indeed ,  at,  but ,  or  tamen,  nihilo  minus, 

nevertheless. 

These  words  when  used  to  connect  sentences  have  the  same  meaning 
as  when  used  to  connect  the  parts  of  a  sentence  (1676). 

2152.  atqui,  rarely  atquin,  and  yet ,  but,  is  used  chiefly  in  dialogue.  It 
introduces  a  strong  objection,  sometimes  in  the  form  of  a  conditional  protasis. 
From  Cicero  on,  it  is  sometimes  found  after  a  question,  to  introduce  an  ear¬ 
nest  denial. 

n5n  sum  apud  me  :  :  atqui  opus  est  nunc  quom  maxume  ut  sis,  T.  Ph. 

204,  I'm  all  abroad  :  :  but  that 's  just  exactly  where  you  must  n't  be  now.  non 
vereor  condiscipulSrum  ne  quis  exaudiat :  :  atqui  cavendum  est,  Leg.  1, 
21 ,  I  'm  not  afraid  of  being  overheard  by  aity  of  my  fellow-students :  :  and  yet 
you  must  be  on  your  guard,  sine  veniat.  atqui  si  illam  digito  attigerit 
unS,  oculi  ilicS  ecfodientur,  T.  Eu.  739,  let  him  come  on.  Btct  if  he  lays  a 
finger  on  the  maid,  we  ’ll  scratch  his  eyes  out  on  the  spot,  quid  verS  ?  modum 
statuarum  haberi  nullum  placet?  atqui  habeatur  necesse  est,  V.  2,  144, 
what  ?  is  there ,  think  you,  to  be  no  end  to  your  statues  ?  Yet  there  must  be. 

2153.  quamquam,  etsi,  tametsi,  though,  and  nisi,  but,  are  sometimes 
used  to  coordinate  a  new  period,  correcting  the  preceding :  as, 

carere  sentientis  est,  nec  sensus  in  mortuo,  ne  carere  quidem 
igitur  in  mortuS  est.  quamquam  quid  opus  est  in  hSc  philosopher!  ? 

TD.  1,  88,  foregoing  requires  a  sentient  being,  and  there  is  no  sensation  in  a  dead 
man  ;  therefore  there  is  no  foregoing  either  in  a  dead  man.  And  yet  zvhat  is 
the  use  of  philosophizing  over  this  ?  utram  malis  vide  ;  etsi  consilium  quod 
cepi  rectum  esse  sciS,  T.  Hau.  326,  of  these  two  states  choose  which  you  will ; 
though  I  am  sure  my  plan's  the  right  one.  cur  ego  nSn  adsum  ?  tametsi 
hoc  minime  tibl  deest,  Earn.  2,  7,  2,  why  am  I  not  with  you?  though  this  is 
the  very  last  thing  you  need,  sperabam  defervisse  adulescentiam  :  ecce

1 52,  I  hoped  his  youthful  passion  had  cooled  dozen  ;  yet  here  it  is  afresh  !  But 
be  it  what  it  may,  I  want  to  see  the  fellow. 

(c.)  Causal  and  Illative. 

2154.  nam,  enim ,  for,  or  namque,  etenim,  for  you  see ,  intro¬ 
duces  a  new  period  which  gives  the  reason  of  the  foregoing  :  as, 

qua  quidem  ex  re  hominum  multitudS-  cognSsci  potuit :  nam  minus 
hSris  tribus  munitidnem  perfecerunt,  5,  42,  4,  and  from  this  by  the  way 
their  numbers  could  be  gauged ;  for  they  made  a  breastwork  in  less  than  three 
hours,  quern  meminisse  potestis  :  annS  enim  undevicesimo  post  eius 
mortem  hi  consules  facti  sunt,  CM.  14,  you  can  remember  him  :  for  the 
present  consuls  were  created  only  nineteen  years  after  his  death.

A 'ffirmative  Coordination .  [215  5-2 159. 


2155.  The  originally  asseverative  meaning  of  nam  appears,  even  in  the  classical 
period,  in  colloquial  language:  as,  tibl  a  me  nulla  ortast  iniuria  :  :  nam 
hercle  etiam  hdc  restat,  T.  Ad.  189,  I've  7ie'er  done  yon  a  -wanton  wrong:  ;t 
aye  verily  that's  still  to  come.  In  old  Latin,  it  sometimes  introduces  a  question  :  as, 
nam  quae  haec  anus  est  ?  T.  Ph.  732,  why ,  who's  this  old  woman ?  Fre¬ 
quently  it  introduces  an  explanation  or  illustration,  and,  from  Cicero  on,  a  remark  or 
question  made  in  passing:  as,  sic  enim  sese  res  habet:  nam  Odyssia 
Latina  est  sic  tamquam  opus  Daedali,  Br.  71,  the  case  stands  thus:  the 
Odyssey  in  Latin  is,  you  may  say,  a  regular  work  of  Daedahcs  (1908).  vivo  Ca- 
tone  multi  Sratores  floruerunt:"  nam  A.  Albinus,  Br.  81,  many  orators 
flourished  in  Cato's  lifetime:  for  example ,  Albinus.  nam  quid  de  aedile 
loquar  ?  Sest.  95 ,for  why  speak  of  the  aedile?  enim  does  not  differ  essentially 
in  use  from  nam;  for  its  meaning  in  old  Latin,  see  1688.  namque  is  rai*e  until 
Livy,  and  usually  (always  in  old  Latin)  stands  before  a  vowel,  etenim  is  common 
only  in  classical  Latin. 

2156.  For  quippe,  why,  often  used  as  a  coordinating  word,  see  1690. 

2157.  proinde  or  proin,  therefore ,  so,  introduces  a  command  or  direction 
based  upon  the  foregoing  :  as, 

orationem  sperat  invenisse  se,  qui  differat  te  :  proin  tu  fac  apud  te 
ut  sies,  T.  Andr.  407,  he  trusts  he's  found  some  phrase  wherewith  he  may  con¬ 
found  you:  so  see  you  have  your  zvits  about  you.  frustra  meae  vitae  sub¬ 
venire  conamini.  proinde  abite,  dum  est  facultas,  7,  50,  6,  in  vain  ye  try 
to  save  my  life.  So  away ,  while  ye  have  the  pozoer.  iam  undique  silvae  et 
solitudd  magna  cogitationis  incitamenta  sunt,  proinde  cum  venabere, 
licebit  pugillares  feras,  Plin.  Ep.  1,6,  2,  then  again  the  surrounding  woods 
and  the  loneliness  are  pozuerful  stimulants  to  meditation.  So  zvhen  you  go 
hunting,  yo:i  ea/i  take  a  note  book  zuith  you. 

2158.  A  conclusion  is  denoted  by  ergo,  itaque  or  igitur,  there¬ 
fore ,  so,  introducing  a  new  period :  as, 

nihil  est  praestantius  deo  ;  ab  eo  igitur  mundum  necesse  est  regi. 
nulli  igitur  est  naturae  subiectus  deus.  omnem  ergo  regit  ipse  natu- 
ram,  DN.  2,  77,  nothing  is  more  excellent  than  god.  Therefore  the  universe 
must  be  governed  by  him.  Therefore  god  is  in  no  respect  subject  to  nature. 
Consequently  he  rules  all  nature  himself.  For  the  position  of  these  words  in 
their  clauses,  see  1688  ;  for  erg5  igitur  and  itaque  ergo,  1689.  For  hinc, 
inde,  eo,  ideo,  idcirco,  propterea,  as  coordinating  words,  see  1691. 

Affirmative  Coordination. 

2159.  A  new  sentence  affirmative  of  a  foregoing  is  often  intro¬ 
duced  by  an  emphatic  sic  or  ita. 

These  words  often  introduce  a  general  truth  which  is  deduced  from  the 
first  statement. 

visne  igitur  te  inspiciamus  a  puero  ?  sic  opinor  ;  a  principio  Srdia- 
mur,  Ph.  2,  44,  zvould you  like  to  have  jis  look  into  your  record  from  boyhood? 
Yes,  I  think  it  zuould  be  well ;  let  us  begin  at  the  beginning,  qui  diligebant 
hunc,  illi  favebant.  sic  est  volgus  :  ex  veritate  pauca,  ex  opinione 
multa  aestimat,  PC.  29,  everybody  who  loved  him,  smiled  on  the  other  man. 
Yes,  that  is  always  the  zoay  of  the  world :  it  seldom  judges  by  truth,  often  by 
hearsay.

2160-2165.]  Sentences:  ATouns  of  the  Verb . 


NOUNS  OF  THE  VERB. 

THE  INFINITIVE. 

2160.  The  infinitive  is  in  its  origin  a  verbal  substantive. 

2161.  The  present  infinitive  active  is  an  ancient  dative,  closely  resembling 
in  meaning  and  use  the  English  infinitive  with/0.  It  originally  marked  action 
merely  in  a  general  way,  without  indication  of  voice  or  tense.  In  virtue  of 
this  original  timeless  character,  the  present  often  represents  action  which  is 
really  past  or  future  ;  in  such  cases  the  time  must  be  inferred  from  the  context. 

2162.  The  present  infinitive  active  gradually  approached  the  character 
of  a  verb,  and  the  original  substantive  nature  being  forgotten,  it  was  supple¬ 
mented  by  a  passive,  and  by  forms  for  completed  and  for  future  action,  active 
and  passive. 

2163.  The  infinitive  has  furthermore  two  other  properties  of  the 
verb  :  ( a .)  it  is  modified  by  an  adverb,  not  by  an  adjective;  and  ( b .)  it 
is  followed  by  the  construction  of  its  verb. 


Old  and  Poetical  Use  of  the  Infinitive. 

THE  INFINITIVE  OF  PURPOSE. 

2164.  The  infinitive  denotes  purpose  :  (a.)  when  loosely  added  to  a  sub¬ 
stantive  in  old  Latin,  (b.)  with  verbs  of  motion,  ed,  venio,  curro,  mitt5,  in 
old  or  poetical  Latin,  and  (c.)  in  the  combination  d5  bibere,  give  to  drink, 
in  old,  colloquial,  or  poetical  Latin:  as,

tum,  PI.  Cur.  206,  my  parasite  I  sent  four  days  ago  to  Caria ,  to  fetch  the  cash. 
nec  dulces  occurrent  oscula  nat!  praeripere,  Lucr.  3,  895,  nor  shall  thy

Libya's  hearths,  (c.)  bibere  da  usque  plenis  cantharis,  PI.  Per.  821,  keep 
giving  on  to  drink  with  brimming  bowls,  bibere  is  thus  used  by  Plautus, 
Terence,  Cato,  and  Livy,  and  by  Cicero  once  with  ministrS.  In  classical 
prose,  purpose  is  expressed  by  the  subjunctive  with  ut  or  a  relative  pronoun, 
or  by  a  gerund  or  gerundive  with  ad  or  causa. 

2165.  In  poetry,  the  infinitive  of  purpose  is  used  with  synonymes  of  do 
also,  and  with  verbs  of  leaving,  taking  away,  taking  up,  &c.

THE  INFINITIVE  WITH  ADJECTIVES. 

2166.  The  infinitive  is  sometimes  used  with  adjectives,  chiefly  by  poets 
of  the  Augustan  age,  and  late  prose  writers,  often  in  imitation  of  a  Greek 
idiom:  as, 

indoctum  iuga  ferre  nostra,  H.  2,  6,  2,  tiot  taught  our  yoke  to  bear. 
avidi  committere  pugnam,  O.  5,  75,  hot  to  engage  in  fight.  s5li  cantare 
periti  Arcades,  V.  E.  10,  32,  Arcadians  alone  in  minstrelsy  are  skilled,  vitulus 
niveus  videri,  H.  4,  2,  59,  a  bullock  snozu-white  to  behold ,  i.  e.  visu  (2274). 
These  infinitives  are  of  different  kinds,  some  of  them  resembling  a  comple¬ 
mentary  infinitive,  others  a  gerund  or  gerundive  construction,  the  supine  in 
-tu  (-su),  &c.,  &c. 


The  Ordinary  Use  of  the  Infinitive. 

2167.  The  infinitive  is  ordinarily  used  either  as  object  or  as  subject  of  a 
verb. 

(A.)  The  Infinitive  as  Object. 

THE  COMPLEMENTARY  INFINITIVE. 

2168.  The  present  infinitive  is  often  used  to  com¬ 
plete  the  meaning  of  certain  kinds  of  verbs  which  imply 
another  action  of  the  same  subject :  as, 

pr5  Pompeid  emori  possum,  Earn.  2,  15,  3,  I  could  die  the  death  for 
Pompey  ( 1495).  quid  habes  dicere  ?  Balb.  33,  what  have  you  to  say  ?  scire 
volebat,  V.  1,  131,  he  wanted  to  kncnv.  hoc  facere  debes,  RabP.  7,  you

dare  deny  it?  vereor  dicere,  T .  Andr.  323,  I  am  afraid  to  tell,  num  du- 
bitas  id  facere  ?  C.  I,  13,  do  you  hesitate  to  do  that?  maturat  ab  urbe  pro- 
ficisci,  1, 7 ,r,  he  makes  haste  to  leave  Rome.  Diviciacus  Caesarem  obsecrare 
coepit,  I,  20,  1,  Diviciacus  began  to  entreat  Caesar.  Dolabella  iniuriam 
facere  perseverat,  Quint.  31,  Dolabella  persists  in  doing  wrong,  illi  pecu- 
niam  polliceri  non  desistunt,  6,  2,  1,  these  people  did  not  stop  offering  money.

2169-2174*]  Sentences:  Nouns  of  the  Verb. 


2169.  The  verbs  or  verbal  expressions  which  are  supplemented  by  an 
infinitive  are  chiefly  such  as  mean  can ,  will  or  wish ,  ought ,  resolve ,  endeavour , 
dare,  fear,  hesitate ,  hasten,  begin,  continue,  cease,  neglect,  am  wont ,  learn,  know 
how,  remember,  forget,  seem.  The  infinitive  in  this  combination  contains  the 
leading  idea.  For  the  occasional  use  of  the  perfect  infinitive  with  some  of 
these  verbs,  see  2223. 

Some  of  the  commonest  of  these  verbs  are  possum,  queo,  nequeo ;  volo, 
nolb,  malo,  cupio,  studeo;  debeo;  cogito,  meditor,  statuo.  constitub, 
decerno,  paro;  Conor,  nitor,  contendo;  audeo;  vereor;  cunctor, 
dubito,  festino,  maturo,  instituo,  coepl,  incipio,  pergo,  persevero, 
desino,  desisto,  omitto,  supersedeo,  neglego,  non  euro;  soleo,  adsue- 
sco,  consuesco;  disco,  scio,  nescio,  recordor,  memim,  obliviscor* 
videor. 

2170.  The  infinitive  is  also  used  with  many  verbal  expressions  equivalent  to  the 
above  verbs,  such  as  habeo_  in  animo,  consilium  est,  certum  est,  paratus 
sum,  &c.,  &c.,  or  with  paratus  alone,  adsuefactus,  &c.,  &c.  Furthermore,  in 
poetry  and  late  prose,  the  place  of  many  of  the  above  verbs  is  often  taken  by  livelier  or 
fresher  synonymes,  such  as  valeo  for  possum,  from  Lucretius  on,  ardeo,  burn, 
for  volo,  cupio,  or  absiste,  fuge,  parce,  &c.,  for  noli  (1584),  &c.,  &c. 

2171.  A  predicate  noun  used  in  the  construction  of  the  comple¬ 
mentary  infinitive,  is  put  in  the  nominative:  as, 

Aelius  Stoicus  esse  voluit,  Br.  206,  Aelius  wanted  to  be  a  Stoic,  esse 
quam  videri  bonus  malebat,  S.  C.  54,  6,  he  chose  to  be  good  rather  than  seem 
good. 


THE  ACCUSATIVE  WITH  THE  INFINITIVE. 

2172.  A  very  common  form  of  a  dependent  sentence  is  that  known 
as  the  Accusative  with  the  Infinitive. 

Thus,  of  the  two  coordinate  sentences  scio :  iocaris  tG  nunc,  PI.  Most. 
ro8i,  I  know :  you  are  jesting  now,  the  second  may  be  put  in  a  dependent 
form,  the  two  sentences  blending  into  one :  scio  iocari  te  nunc,  I  know  you 
to  be  jesting  now. 

2173.  The  subject  of  an  infinitive  is  put  in  the 
accusative. 

Thus,  in  eum  vident,  they  see  him,  eum  is  the  object  of  vident  (1134). 
If  sedere  is  added,  eum  vident  sedere,  V.  5,  107,  they  see  him  sit,  or  they  see 
that  he  is  sitting,  eum  is  at  the  same  time  the  object  of  vident  and  the  sub¬ 
ject  of  sedere.  But  the  accusative  by  degrees  becoming  detached  from  the 
main  verb,  and  closely  interlocked  with  the  infinitive,  the  combination  is  ex¬ 
tended  to  cases  where  the  main  verb  is  intransitive  or  passive. 

2174.  A  predicate  noun  referring  to  a  subject  accusative  is  itself 
put  in  the  accusative  :  as, 

tS  esse  arbitror  puerum  probum,  PI.  Most.  949,  I  think  you  are  a  good 
boy.  neminem  vivum  capi  patiuntur,  8,  35,  5,  they  do  not  allow  anybody  to 
be  made  prisoner  alive  (2198).

The  Infinitive.  [2175-2179. 


Verbs  of  Perceiving,  Knowing,  Thinking,  and 

Saying. 

2175.  The  accusative  with  the  infinitive  is  used 
with  active  verbs  or  verbal  expressions  of  perceiving, 
knowing,  thinking,  and  saying :  as, 

patere  tua  consilia  nSn  sentis  ?  C.  i,  i ,  you  don't  feel  that  your  plots  are 
all  out?  huic  filium  scis  esse?  T.  Hau.  181,  you  are  aware  that  this  matt 
has  a  son  ?  PompeiSs  consedisse  terrae  rnotu  audivimus,  Sen.  NQ.  6,  i, 
i,  we  have  heard  that  Potnpei  has  been  sivallowed  up  by  an  earthquake,  63  A.  D., 
1 7  years  before  its  utter  destruction,  saepe  audivl  inter  5s  atque  offam 
multa  intervenire  posse,  Cato  in  Gell.  13,  18  (17),  1,  I  have  often  head'd 
‘  'twixt  cup  and  lip  there 's  many  a  slip.'  dicit  montem  ab  hostibus  teneri, 

1,  22,  2,  he  says  the  hill  is  held  by  the  enemy,  dixtin  dudum  illam  dixisse, 
se  expectare  filium  ?  T.  Hec.  451,  did  n't  you  say  a  while  ago  the  woman  said 
that  she  was  looking  for  her  son  ? 

Some  of  the  commonest  of  these  verbs  are:  (a.)  audid,  animadverts, 
senti5,  videS.  (b.)  accipiS,  intellegS,  sci5,  nesciS.  (c.)  arbitror,  cen¬ 
sed,  cogitS,  credS,  existimS,  memini,  opinor,  puts,  recorder,  suspicor. 
(d.)  adfirmS,  aiS,  demonstrS,  dico,  disputS,  doceo,  fateor,  narrS,  negS, 
nuntiS,  ostendS,  prSmittS,  scribS,  signified,  sperS,  tradS.  ( e .)  rumor 
est,  nSn  me  fugit,  certus  sum,  non  nescius  sum,  &c.,  &c.  Also  occasion¬ 
ally  verbs  used  in  the  sense  of  think  or  say ,  as  mittS,  send  word ,  and  substantives 
or  pronouns  expressing  a  thought  or  judgement. 

2176.  The  accusative  with  the  infinitive  is  sometimes  introduced  by  a  neuter  pro¬ 
noun,  or  by  sic  or  ita:  as,  illud  negabis,  te  de  re  iudicata  iudicavisse  ?  V. 

2,  81,  will  you  deny  this ,  that  you  sate  in  judgeme?it  on  a  matter  that  was  already 
decided  ?  sic  accepimus,  nullum  helium  fuisse,  V.  5,  5,  we  have  been  told 
this,  that  there  was  not  any  war.  Sometimes  by  an  ablative  Avith  de  :  as,  de  hSc 
Verri  dicitur,  habSre  eum  perbona  toreumata,  V.  4,  38,  about  this  man 
report  is  made  to  Verres  that  he  had  some  choice  bits  of  embossed  work. 

2177.  (1.)  Passive  verbs  of  this  class  are  commonly  used  personally  in 
the  third  person  of  the  present  system,  with  the  subject,  and  the  predicate 
noun,  if  used,  in  the  nominative:  as, 

hi  centum  pagSs  habere  dicuntur,  4,  1,  4,  these  people  are  said  to  have 
a  hundred  cantons,  nulla  iam  existimantur  esse  iudicia,  V.  a.  pr.  43 , 
there  are  thought  to  be  no  courts  of  law  any  longer.  pSns  prope  effectus 
nuntiabatur,  Caes.  C.  1,  62,  3,  the  bridge  was  reported  to  be  well-nigh  done. 

2178.  Such  personal  passives  are  much  more  common  in  the  writers  of  Cicero’s 
day  than  in  old  Latin.  Particularly  so  arguS,  audiS,  cognoscS,  comperio, 
concedS,  defends,  demonstrS,  dico,  doceS,  excusS,  existimS,  inveniS, 
iudicS,  liberS,  memorS,  negS,  nuntiS,  ostendS,  postulS,  puts,  reperiS, 
tradS. 

2179.  (2.)  With  the  first  or  second  person  the  personal  construction  is  rare  :  as, 
quod  nSs  bene  emisse  iudicati  sumus,  Att.  1,  13,  6,  that  we  are  thought  to 
have  made  a  good  bargain,  cum  inveniare  improbissima  ratiSne  esse 
praedatus,  V.  4,  3,  whe?i  you  prove  to  have  been  robbing  most  abominably .  But 
with  videor,  seem ,  the  personal  construction  is  the  rule  in  all  three  persons,  and  in 
the  perfect  system  as  well  as  the  present. 


377 


2180-2186.]  Sentences:  Nouns  of  the  Verb. 


2180.  (3.)  In  the  perfect  system,  and  also  usually  in  the  gerundive  con¬ 
struction  (2246),  verbs  of  this  class  are  commonly  impersonal ;  as, 

traditum  est  Homerum  caecum  fuisse,  TD.  5,  114,  the  tradition  is 
that  Homer  was  blind,  ub!  tyrannus  est,  ibi  dicendum  est  nullam  esse 
rem  publicam,  RP.  3,  43,  wherever  there  is  an  absolute  ruler ,  there  we  must 
maintain  there  is  no  commonwealth. 

2181.  (4.)  With  some  verbs  of  this  class,  the  impersonal  construction  is  preferred 
even  in  the  present  system.  Thus,  commonly  intellegitur,  it  is  understood ,  as 
impersonal ;  regularly  in  classical  Latin  creditur  ;  with  a  dative  in  Cicero  and  Caesar 

dicitur,  nuntiatur.  The  impersonals  cernitur,  fertur,  memoratur,  prodi- 
tur,  videtur,  are  rare. 

2182.  The  personal  construction  is  sometimes  extended  to  other  verbs  or  verbal 
expressions,  especially  in  poetry  :  as,  colligor,  O.  A.  2,  6,  61,  /  am  inferred ,  for 
colligitur.  nonnullls  magistrates  veniebant  in  suspicionem  nos  de- 
morati  esse,  Lentulus  in  Fain.  12,  15,  5,  the  magistrates  were  suspected  by  some 
of  having  delayed  us  (1491). 

2183.  With  verbs  of  thinking  and  saying  the  subject  accusative  is  some¬ 
times  omitted. 

{a.)  Oftenest  thus  me  nds,  te  vos,  or  se :  as,  stulte  fecisse  fateor,  i.  e. 
me,  PI.  B.  1013,  I  own  I've  acted  like  a  fool,  confitere  venisse,  i.  e.  te,  RA. 
61,  confess  you  came,  quae  imperarentur  facere  dixerunt,  i.  e.  se,  2,  32,  3, 
they  said  they  7uould  do  as  ordered  (2221).  Often  the  future  without  esse: 
as,  refracturos  carcerem  minabantur,  i.  e.  se,  L.  6,  17,  6,  they  threatened  to 
break  the  jail  open,  (b.)  Less  frequently  an  accusative  of  is:  as,  oblitum 
credidi,  i.  e.  eum,  Fam.  9,  2,  1,  I  imagined  he  had  forgotten.  Such  omissions 
are  common  in  old  Latin,  Cicero,  Caesar,  Livy,  and  in  poetry. 

2184.  When  the  accusative  is  not  expressed,  a  predicate  noun  is  sometimes 
put  in  the  nominative,  chiefly  in  poetry,  in  imitation  of  a  Greek  idiom  :  as, 

phaselus  ille  quern  videtis,  hospites,  ait  fuisse  navium  celerrimus. 

Cat.  4,  I,  the  clipper  you  see  yonder,  friends ,  says  she  70  as  once  the  fleetest  of 
the  fleet,  uxor  invicti  Iovis  esse  nescis,  H.  3,  27,  73,  thou  kno7vest  not  thou 
art  the  bride  of  the  unconquerable  Jove.  Similarly  with  verbs  of  emotion 
(2187)  :  as,  gaudent  esse  rogatae,  O.  A  A.  1,  345,  they  are  glad  to  have  been 
asked,  gaudent  perfusi  sanguine  fratrum,  V.  G.  2,  510,  they’re  glad  to 
have  been  imbued  with  brothers'  blood. 

Verbs  of  Accusing. 

2185.  The  verbs  of  accusing,  argud  and  insimulo,  take  the  accusative 
with  the  infinitive  like  verbs  of  saying:  as, 

civis  RomanSs  necatSs  esse  arguS,  V.  5,  14Q,  my  accusation  is  that  Ro¬ 
mans  have  been  slain,  occidisse  patrem  Sex.  RSscius  arguitur,  RA.  37, 
Roscius  is  charged  7uith  the  murder  of  his  father,  insimulare  coeperunt 
Epicratem  litteras  publicas  corrupisse,  V.  2,  60,  they  began  to  accuse  Efi- 

cratcs  of  having  falsified  records  of  state. 


Verbs  of  Hoping,  Promising,  and  Threatening. 

2186.  The  accusative  with  the  infinitive  is  used  with  verbs  of  hoping, 
promising,  and  threatening  :  as, 

378 


The  Infinitive. 


[2187-2194. 


id  sese  effecturos  sperabant,  7 ,  26,  2,  they  hoped  to  carry  it  out.  pol- 
licentur  sese  6i  dedituros,  5,  20,  2,  they  volunteer  to  surrender  to  him.  But 
sometimes  the  present  infinitive  alone  :  see  2236. 

Verbs  of  Emotion. 

2187.  The  accusative  with  the  infinitive  is  sometimes  used  with 
verbs  of  joy,  grief,  surprise,  or  wonder  :  as, 

venire  tu  me  gaudes,  PL  B.  184,  thou  art  glad  I'm  come,  dolui  pacem 
repudiari,  Marc.  14,  I  felt  sorry  peace  was  rejected.  These  verbs  often  have 
the  construction  with  quod,  or  in  old  Latin  with  quia  (1851). 

2188.  Some  of  the  commonest  of  these  verbs  are  doleo,  gaudeo,  laetor, 
miror,  &c.,  &c. ;  and  from  Cicero  on,  angor,  indignor,  lugeo,  sollicito. 

Verbs  of  Desire. 

2189.  (  1.)  The  accusative  with  the  infinitive  is  commonly  used 
with  volo  (mal5,  nolo),  and  cupiS,  when  the  subject  of  the  infinitive 
is  not  the  same  as  that  of  the  verb  :  as, 

Catilinam  perire  volui,  Ph.  8,  15,  I  rvished  Catiline  to  die.  maluit  ho¬ 
mines  peccare  quam  deos,  V.  2,  22,  he  wanted  men  to  sin  rather  than  gods. 
te  tua  frui  virtute  cupimus,  Br.  331,  we  wish  you  to  reap  the  benefit  of  your 
high  character. 

2190.  (2.)  Even  when  the  subjects  denote  the  same  person,  the  accusa¬ 
tive  is  sometimes  used  with  the  infinitive  :  as, 

emori  me  malim,  PL  As.  810,  mori  me  malim,  T.  Eu.  66,  I'd  rather 
die.  magnufice  void  me  viros  summos  accipere,  Pl.  Ps.  167,  I'm  going 
to  entertain  some  highborn  gentlemen  in  style.  Oftenest  when  the  infinitive 
is  esse,  videri,  putari,  or  dici:  as,  cupio  me  esse  clementem,  cupio  me 
non  dissolutum  videri,  C.  1,  4,  I  wish  to  play  the  man  of  mercy ,  and  yet  I 
do  not  wish  to  seem  over  lax.  Rarely  thus  with  desldero,  nolo,  opto,  and 
studeo,  and  in  Sallust  with  propero. 

2191.  For  the  perfect  active  with  these  verbs,  see  2228  ;  for  the  perfect  passive, 
2229. 

2192.  void,  maid,  and  cupio  are  often  coordinated  with  the  subjunctive  of 
desire  (1707).  void  and  malo  often  have  the  subjunctive  with  ut,  particularly  in 
old  Latin  (1950). 

2193.  Verbs  of  resolving  sometimes  take  the  accusative  with  the  infinitive :  as, 
certum  offirmare  est  viam  me,  T.  Hec.  45 4,  /  am  resolved  to  hold  the  way . 
So,  from  Cicero  on,  sometimes  censed,  decerno,  and  sentio,  in  the  exceptional 
sense  of  void  or  iubeo,  think  it  best:  as,  velle  et  censere  eos  ab  armis  dis- 
cedere,  S,  /.  21,  4,  that  they  wished  and  thought  it  best  for  those  people  to  give  up 
fighting.

Verbs  of  Accomplishing.

tails  oratores  videri  facit,  quails  ipsi  se  videri  volunt,  Br.  142,  of  deliv¬ 
ery,  it  makes  orators  appear  just  as  they  -wish  to  appear  themselves .  Oftenest  in

Verbs  of  Teaching  and  Training. 

2197.  The  verbs  of  teaching  and  training,  doceo  and  adsuefacio,  may 
take  an  accusative  of  a  substantive  and  an  infinitive  expressing  the  thing

quin  etiam  tondere  filias  suas  docuit,  TD.  5,  58,  why  more  than  that ,  he 
actually  taught  his  own  daughters  to  shave ,  of  Dionysius,  tyrant  of  Syracuse, 
equos  eodem  remanere  vestigio  adsuefecerunt,  4,  2,  3,  they  have  their

C.  1,  41,  4,  he  gave  orders  that  the  camp  should  not  be  fortified  with  a  palisade. 
vinum  ad  se  inportari  non  sinunt,  4,  2,  6,  wine  tiiey  will  not  allozu  to  be 
brought  into  their  coimtry.  Cicero  is  the  first  to  use  veto  thus.  Other  con¬ 
structions  also  occur  with  these  words  :  see  1708,  1950,  1953,  &c. 

2igg.  The  person  ordered  or  forbidden  is  often  omitted,  when  stress  is  laid  on 
the  action  merely,  or  when  the  person  is  obvious  from  the  context  :  as,  castra 
munlre  iubet,  i.  e.  milites,  2,  5,  6,  he  gives  orders  to  construct  a  camp,  ius- 
serunt  pronuntiare,  i.e.  tribunos  et  centuriones,  5,  31,  3,  they  gave  orders 
to  proclaim.  Idemque  iusserunt  simulacrum  Iovis  facere  maius,  i.e. 
consules,  C.  3,  20,  and  they  furthermore  gave  directions  to  make  a  statue  of  Jiipiter, 
a  bigger  one. 

2200.  iubeo  is  sometimes  coordinated  with  the  subjunctive,  especially  in  old 
Latin  (1708).  Sometimes  it  has  the  subjunctive  with  ut,  especially  in  resolves  of  the 
people. 

2201.  In  the  passive,  iubeo,  veto,  and  sino  are  used  personally,  the  accusative 
of  the  person  ordered  or  forbidden  becoming  nominative :  as,  iubentur  scribere 
exercitum,  L.  3,  30,  3,  they  are  ordered  to  raise  an  army.  Nolan!  murds 
adire  vetiti,  L.  27.  16,  9,  the  men  of  Nola  were  not  allowed  to  go  to  the  walls,  hie

with  fieri :  as,  praesentem  pecuniam  solvi  imperavi,  Att.  2,  4,  1,  /  have 
given  orders  for  ready  money  to  be  paid.  Rarely  with  an  active  infinitive  parallel

portari  imperat,  Caes.  C.  3,  42,  2,  he  orders  part  of  the  vessels  to  rendezvous  there , 
and  grain  to  be  brought.  In  the  passive,  a  personal  imperor  occurs,  like  iubeor 
(2201):  as,  in  lautumias  deduci  imperantur,  V.  5,  68,  orders  are  given  for 
them  to  be  taken  to  the  quarries.  See  also  1950.  permitto  has  sometimes  the 
accusative  with  the  infinitive  fromTacitus  on,  usually  the  subjunctive  with  ut  (1950). 

2203.  TJie  verbs  of  hindering,  prohibeo  and  impedio,  sometimes  have  the 
accusative  with  the  infinitive*  as,  barbari  nostrbs  navibus  egredi  prehibe- 
bant,  4,  24,  1,  the  savages  undertook  to  prevent  our  people  from  disembarking. 
The  infinitive  used  with  prohibeo  is  usually  passive  or  deponent,  quid  est  igitur 
quod  me  impediat  ea  quae  probabilia  mihl  videantur  sequi  ?  Off.  2,  8, 
■what  is  there  then  to  hinder  me  from  following  what  seems  to  me  to  be  probable  ?  See 
also  i960  and  1977. 


The  Infinitive  as  a  Substantive  Accusative. 

2204.  The  accusative  with  the  infinitive,  or  the  infinitive  alone, 
regarded,  as  a  neuter  substantive,  may  be  used  as  the  object  of  a  verb, 
or  in  apposition  with  the  object :  as, 

[a.)  leporem  gustare  fas  non  putant,  5,  12,  6,  tasting  hare  they  count  a 
sin.  errare  malum  ducimus,  Off.  1,  18,  going  astray  we  hold  a  bad  thing, 
(b.)  ad  id  quod  instituisti,  oratorum  genera  distinguere  aetatibus,  istam 
diligentiam  esse  accommodatam  puto,  Br.  74,  I  think  your  accurate  schol¬ 
arship  is  just  the  thing  for  your  projected  task  —  classifying  public  speakers 
chronologically. 

2205.  The  infinitive  as  a  substantive  is  rarely  preceded  by  the  preposition  inter 
in  prose:  as,  multum  interest  inter  dare  et  accipere,  Sen.  Ben.  5,  10,  2, 
there  is  a  vast  difference  between  ‘ give  ’  arid  ‘  take.'  In  poetry  also  by  praeter. 

2205.  In  poetry,  the  infinitive  is  used  as  a  substantive  object  with  such  verbs  as 

do,  reddd,  adimo,  perdo  :  as,  hie  vererl  perdidit,  PI.  B.  15S,  this  youth  has 
lost  his  sense  of  shame. 


(B.)  The  Infinitive  as  Subject. 

2207.  The  accusative  with  the  infinitive,  or  the  in¬ 
finitive  alone,  present  or  perfect,  may  be  used  as  the 
subject  of  a  verb,  in  apposition  with  the  subject,  or  as 
a  predicate  nominative  :  as, 

(a.)  mendacem  memorem  esse  oportere,  Quintil.  4,  2,  91,  that  a  liar 
should  have  a  good  memory,  (b.)  sequitur  illud,  caedem  senatum  iudicasse 
contra  rem  publicam  esse  factam,  Mil.  12,  next  comes  this  point ,  that  the 
senate  adjudged  the  homicide  an  offence  against  the  state,  (c.)  exitus  fuit  ora- 
tionis,  sib!  nullam  cum  his  amicitiam  esse  posse,  4,  8,  1,  the  end  of  the 
speech  was  that  he  could  not  have  any  friendship  with  these  people. 

381 


2208-2214.]  Sentences :  Nouns  of  the  Verb. 


2208.  The  infinitive  is  used  as  the  subject  (a.),  with  impersonal 
verbs,  (A)  with  est,  putatur,  habetur,  &c.,  and  an  abstract  substan¬ 
tive,  a  genitive,  or  a  neuter  adjective  in  the  predicate. 

2209.  (a.)  Some  of  the  commonest  impersonal  verbs  are  apparet,  decet, 

expedit,  licet,  lubet,  oportet,  praestat,  pudet,  refert.  Also  in  classical 
Latin,  attinet,  conducit,  cSnstat,  dedecet,  exsistit,  fallit,  interest,  iuvat, 
liquet,  obest,  paenitet,  patet,  pertinet,  placet,  displicet,  prodest,  which 
are  used  as  live  verbs  by  Lucretius  and  Sallust  also.  Similarly  in  Plautus  and  Terence 
fdrtasse.  .  • 

# 

2210.  The  infinitive  is  occasionally  used  as  a  subject  with  verbs  other  than  the 
above  (2209):  as,  n5n  cadit  invidere  in  sapientem,  TD.  3,  21,  envy  does  not 
square  with  our  ideas  of  a  sage,  carere  hoc  slgnificat,  egere  eo  quod 
habere  veils,  TD.  1,  88,  cared  means  not  having  what  you  would  like  to  have. 

2211.  ( b .)  Some  of  the  commonest  abstracts  used  thus  with  est  are  fama,  fas 
and  nefas,  fides,  ius,  laus,  opus,  mos,  tempus.  From  Cicero  on,  opinib  and 

firoverbium.  In  Plautus,  ”audacia,  confidentia,  miseria,  negdtium,  sce- 
us,  &c.  For  genitives,  see  1237.  Neuter  adjectives  are  such  as  aequum,  ini- 
quum,  cSnsentaneum,  credibile,  incredibile,  manifestum,  necesse, 
par,  rectum,  &c.,  &c. 

2212.  The  accusative  is  not  expressed  when  it  is  indefinite,  you,  a  man , 
a  person ,  anybody,  frequently  also  when  it  is  implied  in  some  other  case  in 
the  sentence :  as, 

n5n  tam  praeclarum  est  scire  Latine  quam  turpe  nescire,  Br.  140. 

it  is  not  so  creditable  to  be  a  Latin  scholar  as  it  is  disreputable  not  to  be.  mihf 

inter  virtutes  grammaticl  habebitur  aliqua  nescire,  Quintil.  1,  8,  21,  in 

my  eyes  it  will  be  one  merit  in  a  classical  scholar  not  to  be  omniscient,  tempori 
cedere  semper  sapientis  est  habitum,  Fain.  4,  9,  2,  bowing  to  the  inevitable 
has  always  passed  as  a  mark  of  wisdom,  peccare  licet  nemini,  Par.  20,  no 
man  is  at  liberty  to  sin.  An  indefinite  hominem,  aliquem,  or  te,  is  rare  :  as, 
ilia  laus  est,  liberds  hominem  educare,  PI.  MG.  703,  it  is  a  crown  of  glory 
for  a  man  a  family  to  rear. 

2213.  (1.)  A  predicate  noun  referring  to  the  unexpressed  indefinite  sub¬ 
ject  of  the  infinitive  is  put  in  the  accusative  :  as, 

non  esse  cupidum  pecunia  est,  n5n  esse  emacem  vectigal  est,  con- 
tentum  verb  suis  rebus  esse  maximae  sunt  dlvitiae,  Pur.  51,  for  a  man 

not  to  Juwe  desires,  is  money  dcnvn,  not  to  be  eager  to  buy  is  an  income;  but  to  be 
satisfied  with  what  you  have  is  the  greatest  possible  wealth.  A  plural  predicate 
is  rare :  as,  esset  egregium  domesticis  esse  contentos,  O.  22,  it  -would  be 
a  grand  thing  for  people  to  be  satisfied  with  home  examples. 

2214.  (2.)  When  the  subject  of  the  infinitive  is  implied  in  a  dative,  a 
predicate  noun  may  also  be  in  the  dative  .  as, 

mih!  neglegenti  esse  non  licet,  Att.  1,  17,  6,  it  will  not  do  for  me  to  be 
careless.  With  a  dative  and  licet,  however,  the  predicate  is  sometimes  in  the 
accusative  :  as,  quod  si  civi  Romano  licet  esse  Gaditanum,  Balb.  29,  ncrw 
if  a  Roman  is  allowed  to  be  a  Gaditanian.  Regularly  so,  when  the  subject  is 
indefinite  and  not  expressed  (2212)  :  as,  haec  praescripta  servantem  licet 
magnified  vivere,  Off.  1,  92,  a  man  who  holds  to  these  rules  may  live  a  noble 
life.

The  Infinitive. 


[2215-2219. 


2215.  The  infinitive,  used  as  a  substantive  in  the  nominative  or  accusative 
sometimes  has  a  neuter  attribute. 

Chiefly  thus  ipsum,  h5c  ipsum,  totum  h5c  :  as,  ipsum  Latfne  loqul 
est  in  magna  laude  ponendum,  Br.  1^0,  just  the  mere  ability  of  talking  good 
Latin  is  to  be  accounted  highly  creditable.  Rarely  a  possessive,  meum,  tuum  : 
as,  ita  tuom  c5nfert5  am  are  ne  tibi  sit  probro,  PL  Cur.  28,  so  shape  thy 
wooing  that  it  be  to  thee  no  shame. 

O 


THE  INFINITIVE  OF  EXCLAMATION. 

2216.  The  infinitive  alone,  or  the  accusative  with  the  infinitive,  is 
sometimes  used  in  exclamations  of  surprise,  incredulity,  disapproval, 
or  lamentation :  as, 

non  pudere,  T.  Ph.  233,  not  be  ashamed,  sedere  t5tos  dies  in  villa, 
Att.  12,  44,  2,  sitting  round  whole  days  and  days  at  the  country  place,  at  te 
Romae  non  fore,  Att.  5,  20,  7,  only  to  think  you  won’t  be  in  Rome,  hoc 
posteris  memoriae  traditum  iri,  L.  3,  67,  1,  to  think  this  will  be  passed  dozen 
to  generations  yet  unborn.  Often  with  a  -ne,  transferred  from  the  unex¬ 
pressed  verb  on  which  the  infinitive  depends  (1503):  as,  tene  hoc,  Acci, 
dicere,  tali  prudentia  praeditum,  Clu.  84,  what?  you  to  say  this,  Accius,  with 
your  sound  sezise.  The  exclamatory  infinitive  is  chiefly  confined  to  Plautus, 
Terence,  and  Cicero. 


THE  INFINITIVE  OF  INTIMATION. 

2217.  This  infinitive  has  already  been  spoken  of;  see  1535-1539. 


THE  TENSES  OF  THE  INFINITIVE. 

2218.  The  present  infinitive  represents  action  as  go¬ 
ing  on,  the  perfect  as  completed,  and  the  future  as  not 
yet  begun,  at  the  time  of  the  action  of  the  verb  to 
which  the  infinitive  is  attached. 

The  forms  of  the  infinitive  are  commonly  and  conveniently  called  tenses, 
though  this  designation  is  not  strictly  applicable. 


The  Present  Tense. 

2219.  In  itself,  the  present  infinitive  denotes  action  merely  as 
going;  on,  without  any  reference  to  time.  With  some  verbs,  however, 
which  look  to  the  future,  the  present  relates  to  action  in  the  immediate 
future.  With  verbs  of  perceiving,  knowing,  thinking,  and  saying,  it 
denotes  action  as  going  on  at  the  time  of  the  verb  :  as,

2220-2223.]  Sentences:  Nouns  of  the  Verb . 


(zz.)  facinus  est  vincire  civem  Romanum,  V.  5,  170,  it  is  a  crivie  to 
put  a  Roman  in  irons .  (b.)  audire  cupio,  Caec.  33,  I  am  eager  to  hear. 

Antium  me  recipere  c5git5  a.  d.  v  Non.  Mai.,  Att.  2,  9,  4,  I  am  meditat¬ 
ing  going  back  to  Antium  the  third  of  May.  (c.)  errare  e5s  dicunt,  5,  41,  5, 
they  say  those  people  are  mistaken,  tempus  dix!  esse,  T.  Hec.  687,  /  said  it 
xvas  time,  dices  tibl  Siculos  esse  amicds  ?  V.  2,  155,  xvill  you  say  the  Sicil¬ 
ians  are  friends  of  yours  ? 

2220.  The  present  infinitive  is  sometimes  used  with  memini,  recordor, 
memoria  teneb,  and  with  some  analogous  expressions,  such  as  accepimus, 
fertur,  &c.,  to  represent  merely  the  occurrence  of  action  really  completed, 
without  indicating  its  completion  :  as, 

memini  ad  me  te  scribere,  D.  38,  I  remember  your  writing  to  me.  me- 
ministis  fieri  senatus  cdnsultum,  Mur.  51,  you  remember  a  decree  of  the 
senate  being  passed,  sed  ego  idem  recordor  longe  omnibus  anteferre 
Demosthenem,  O.  23,  and  yet  /  remember  putting  Demosthenes  far  abox’e 
everybody  else,  hanc  accepimus  agrds  et  nemora  peragrare,  HR.  24,  we 
have  heard  of  this  goddess' s  scouring  fields  and  groves.  Q.  Maximum  acce¬ 
pimus  facile  celare,  tacere,  Off.  1,  108,  we  have  heard  of  Fabius's  ready 
cleverness  in  keeping  dark  and  holding  his  tongue.  But  the  perfect  is  used 
when  the  action  is  to  be  distinctly  marked  as  completed:  as,  meministis  me 
ita  distribuisse  causam,  RA.  122,  you  remember  that  I  arranged  the  case 
thus.  Sometimes  present  and  perfect  are  united :  as,  Helene  capere  arma 
fertur,  nec  fratres  erubuisse  debs,  Prop.  3,  14,  19  (4,  13,  19),  Helen  is  said 
to  fly  to  arms ,  and  not  to  have  blushed  in  presence  of  her  brother  gods.  Here 
capere  relates  to  the  same  completed  action  as  the  more  exact  erubuisse. 

2221.  With  verbs  of  saying,  used  in  the  narrower  sense  of  promising,  the 
present  infinitive  sometimes  stands  for  the  future  (2236) :  as, 

eras  mane  argentum  mih!  miles  dare  se  dixit,  T.  Ph.  531,  the  soldier 
spoke  of  paying  me  the  money  early  in  the  morning,  me  aibat  accersere, 
PI.  Ps.  1 1 18,  he  said  he'd  fetch  me  (2186).  quae  imperarentur  facere 
dixerunt,  2,  32,  3,  they  agreed  to  do  what  xvas  commanded. 

2222.  The  present  infinitive  dependent  on  a  past  tense  of  debeo,  oportet, 
possum,  often  requires  the  English  perfect  infinitive  in  translation  :  as,  quid  enim 
facere  poteramus  ?  Pis.  13,  for  what  else  could  we  have  done ?  See,  however, 
1495.  For  the  infinitive  perfect,  see  2230. 


The  Perfect  Tense. 

2223.  (1.)  The  perfect  active  infinitive  sometimes  serves  as  a  comple¬ 
ment  of  debeo,  volo,  possum,  &c.  (216S) :  as, 

tametsi  statim  vicisse  debeo,  tamen  de  meo  iure  decedam,  RA.  73, 

though  I  am  entitled  to  come  off  victorious  at  once,  yet  I  xvill  waive  my  right ;

information  acquired?  bellum  quod  possumus  ante  hiemem  perfScisse, 
L-  37»  I9’  5?  ^ie  war  which  we  can  have  ended  up  before  winter.

The  Infinitive, 


[2224-2229 


2224.  (2.)  In  prohibitions,  the  perfect  active  infinitive  often  serves  as  a 
complement  of  nolo  or  void  (216S). 

Thus,  in  old  Latin,  ndlitd  devellisse,  PI.  Pocn.  872,  do  not  have  had  it 
plucked.  Particularly  so  when  dependent  on  ne  velit  or  ne  vellet,  in  legal 
style:  as,  ne  quis  convenisse  sacrorum  causa  velit,  L.  39,  14,  8,  that  no¬ 
body  may  presume  to  have  banded  -with  others  for  the  observance  of  the  mysteries. 
Bacas  •  vir  •  neqvis  •  adiese  •  velet,  CIL.  I,  196,  7,  inscription  of  186 
B.  C.,  that  no  male  should  presume  to  have  had  resort  to  the  Bacchants  (765 ;  48). 
ne  quid  emisse  velit  insciente  domino,  Cato,  RR.  5,  4,  he  must  not  venture  to 
have  bought  anything  without  his  master  s  knowledge ,  of  a  head  farm-steward. 

2225.  In  poetry  of  the  Augustan  age,  the  complementary  perfect  infinitive  active 
is  sometimes  dependent  on  a  verb  of  will  or  effort,  such  as  euro,  laboro,  tendd  :  as, 
tendentes  opaco  Pelion  inposuisse  Olympo,  H.  3,  4,  51,  on  shadowy  Olym¬ 
pus  striving  Pelion  to  have  piled. 

2226.  Any  past  tense  of  the  indicative,  when  made  dependent  on 
a  verb  of  perceiving,  knowing,  thinking,  or  saying,  is  represented  by 
the  perfect  infinitive. 

Thus,  in  Theophrastus  scribit  Cimonem  hospitalem  fuisse  :  ita  enim 
vilicis  imperavisse,  ut  omnia  praeberentur,  Off.  2,  64,  Theophrastus  says 
in  his  book  that  Cimon  was  the  sold  of  hospitality :  he  had  directed  his  stewards 
to  furnish  everything  required ;  the  fuisse  represents  erat  or  fuit,  and  the 
imperavisse  may  represent  imperabat,  imperavit,  or  perhaps  imperave- 
rat,  of  direct  discourse,  praecd  dixisse  pronuntiat,  V.  2,  75,  the  crier 
proclaims  ‘  speaking  finished  ’  (1605). 

2227.  The  perfect  infinitive  passive  with  fuisse  denotes  a  past  resulting 
state :  as, 

dico  Mithridati  copias  omnibus  rebus  ornatas  atque  instructas 
fuisse,  urbemque  obsessam  esse,  IP.  20,  I  must  tell  you  that  Mithridates’s 
troops  were  completely  armed  and  equipped,  and  that  the  town  zvas  under  siege. 
Here  ornatas  fuisse  represents  ornatae  erant  (1615),  and  obsessam  esse 
represents  obsidebatur  (1595). 

2228.  (r.)  The  perfect  active  infinitive  is  sometimes  used  with  nolo  or 
void,  especially  in  poetry,  when  the  subject  of  the  infinitive  is  not  the  same 
as  that  of  the  verb  (2189) :  as, 

hanc  te  ad  ceteras  virtutes  adiecisse  velim,  L.  30,  14,  6,  /  only  zvish 
you  had  this  good  quality  added  to  the  rest. 

2229.  (2.)  void  often  has  an  emphatic  perfect  passive  infinitive,  usually 
without  esse  (2230)  ;  less  frequently  cupio  and  rarely  nolo:  as, 

factum  void,  PI.  B.  495.  As.  685,  I zo ant  it  done,  i.  e.  I  will,  illos  moni- 
tos  etiam  atque  etiam  void,  C.  2,  27,  1  zvant  those  people  cautioned  over  and 
over.  Particularly  common  in  Cicero,  not  in  Caesar  or  Sallust.  Also  with 
impersonal  infinitives  (1479)  :  as>  oblivlscere  ilium  adversario  tuo  voluisse 
consultum,  Att.  16,  i6c,  10,  you  must  forget  that  the  man  wanted  your  enemy 
provided  for.

2230-2236).]  Sentences:  Nouns  of  the  Verb . 


2230.  The  perfect  infinitive  passive  or  deponent,  commonly  without  esse,  is 
often  used  in  Plautus,  Terence,  and  Cicero,  by  assimilation  with  past  tenses  of  verbs 
of  propriety,  such  as  aequum  est,  convenit,  decet,  and  oportet  :  as,  non 
oportuit  rellctas,  T.  Hau .  247,  they  should  n't  have  been  left,  te  Iovi  com- 
precatam  oportuit,  PI.  Am.  739,  you  should  have  said  your  prayers  to  Jove. 
The  perfect  active  is  less  common  :  as,  cavisse  oportuit,  PI.  Am.  944,  you  should 
have" been  upon  your  guard.  For  void,  cupio,  nolo,  see  2229. 

2231.  The  perfect  infinitive  of  completed  action  is  very  common  with  such  expres¬ 
sions  as  satis  est,  satis  habeo,  iuvat,  melius  est,  paenitet,  &c.,  also  with 
verbs  of  emotion,  such  as  gaudeo,  &c. :  as,  me  quoque  iuvat  ad  finem  belli 
Punici  pervenisse,  L.  31,  1,  1,  lam  delighted  myself  to  have  reached  the  end  of 
the  Punic  war.  Oftentimes,  however,  in  verse,  the  use  of  the  perfect  is  often  partly 
due  to  the  metre. 


The  Future  Tense. 

2232.  The  future  infinitive  is  only  used  as  a  representative  of  the  indica¬ 
tive,  and  not  as  a  substantive. 

2233.  For  the  future  infinitive  active  or  passive,  a  circumlocution  with 
fore  or  futurum  esse  with  ut  and  the  subjunctive  present  or  imperfect  is 
often  used.  This  construction  is  necessary  when  the  verb  has  no  future 
participle  or  supine  :  as, 

spero  fore  ut  contingat  id  nobis,  TD.  1,  82,  I  hope  we  may  be  so  fortu¬ 
nate.  clamabant  fore  ut  ipsi  se  di  ulciscerentur,  V.  4,  87,  they  cried 
out  that  the  gods  would  avenge  themselves. 

2234.  fore  with  the  perfect  participle  of  a  passive  or  deponent,  represents  the 
future  perfect  of  direct  discourse :  as,  debellatum  mox  fore  rebantur,  L.  23, 
13,  6,  they  thought  the  war  would  soon  be  over. 

2235.  (1.)  The  future  infinitive  is  commonly  used  with  iuro,  minor, 
polliceor,  prdmitto,  and  spero,  especially  when  the  leading  verb  and  the 
infinitive  have  the  same  subject :  as, 

iuravit  se  nisi  victorem  in  castra  non  reversurum,  Caes.  C.  3,  87,  5. 

he  swore  he  would  not  coi?ie  back  to  camp  except  as  a  victor,  quod  se  facturos 
minabantur,  Caes.  C.  2,  13,  4,  which  they  threatened  they  would  do.  obsides 
daturos  pollicitl  sunt,  4,  27,  1,  they  volunteered  to  give  hostages. 

2236.  (2.)  A  looser  present  infinitive  is  sometimes  used  with  the  above  verbs,  es¬ 
pecially  in  old  Latin,  generally  without  a  subject  accusative.  Thus  with  iuro  by  Cato 
and  Plautus,  and  with  minor,  proclaim  jwith  threats,  by  Lucretius.  Similarly  dare 
pollicentur,  6, 9,  7,  they  offer  to  give,  rlliquds  deterreri  sperans,  Caes.  C.  3,  8, 
3, hoping  that  the  rest  were  scared,  spero  nostram  amlcitiam  non  egere  tes- 
tibus,  Fam.  2,  2,  I  trust  our  friendship  needs  no  witnesses.  As  possum  has  no 
future  infinitive,  the  present  of  this  verb  is  necessarily  used:  as,  totius  Galliae  sese 
potirl  posse  sperant,  1,  3,  8,  they  hope  to  be  able  to  get  the  control  of  the  whole 
of  Gaul .

The  Gerundive  and  Gerund.  [2237—2241. 


THE  GERUNDIVE  AND  GERUND. 

2237.  The  gerundive  is  a  verbal  adjective  (899).  The  ger¬ 
und  is  a  neuter  verbal  substantive,  used  only  in  the  oblique 
cases  of  the  singular.  Both  gerundives  and  gerunds  express,  in 
a  noun  form,  the  uncompleted  action  of  the  verb. 

2238.  Gerundives  and  gerunds,  like  the  English  verbal  in  -ing, 
were  originally  neither  active  nor  passive  (288),  but  might  stand  for 
either  an  active  or  a  passive.  In  time  a  prevailing  passive  meaning 
grew  up  in  the  gerundive,  and  a  prevailing  active  meaning  in  the 
gerund. 

A  gerund  may  be  followed  by  the  same  case  as  its  verb;  but  for  the 
gerund  of  verbs  of  transitive  use,  see  2242,  2255,  2259,  2265. 

2239.  Both  gerundives  and  gerunds  are  modified  like  verbs,  by  adverbs, 
not  by  adjectives. 

(1.)  The  Gerundive  Construction. 

2240.  The  gerundive  expresses,  in  an  adjective 
form,  the  uncompleted  action  of  a  verb  of  transitive 
use  exerted  on  a  substantive  object,  the  substantive 
standing  in  the  case  required  by  the  context,  and  the 
gerundive  agreeing  with  it. 

In  this  construction,  which  is  called  the  gerundive  construction , 
the  substantive  and  gerundive  blend  together  in  sense  like  the  parts  of 
a  compound. 

male  gerendo  negotiS  in  aere  alieno  vacillant,  C.  2,  21,  owing  to  bad 
business-managing  they  are  staggering  under  debts,  studium  agri  colendi, 
CM.  59,  the  occupation  of  land-tilling,  vir  regendae  rSi  publicae  scientis- 
simus,  1)0.  I,  214,  a  man  of  great  experience  in  state-managing. 

(2.)  The  Gerund. 

2241.  The  gerund  expresses,  in  a  substantive  form, 
the  uncompleted  action  of  a  verb  which  has  no  direct 
object. 

ars  vivendi,  Fin.  1,  42,  the  art  of  living,  non  est  locus  ad  tergiver- 
sandum,  Att.  7, 1,  4,  ’tis  no  time  for  shill-T-shall-I-ing.  sum  defessus  quae- 
ritandS,  PI.  Am.  1014,  /  'm  all  worn  out  with  hunting,  se  experiendo 
didicisse,  Ta.  1,  11,  he  had  learned  by  experience. 


2242-2244-]  Sentences:  Nouns  of  the  Verb . 


2242.  Gerunds  of  verbs  of  transitive  use  are  exceptionally  found 
with  a  substantive  object  (2255,  2259,  2265),  and  regularly  with 
neuter  pronouns  and  neuter  plural  adjectives  to  avoid  ambiguity 
([ 106). 

agendi  aliquid  discendique  causa,  Fin.  5,  54,/hr  the  sake  of  doing  or 
learning  something,  faciendi  aliquid  vel  non  faciendi  vera  ratiS,  Plin.  Ep. 

6,  27,  4,  the  true  ground  for  doing  or  not  doing  a  thing,  artem  se  tradere 
vera  ac  falsa  diiudicandi,  DO.  2,  157,  that  he  passed  along  the  art  of  dis¬ 
tinguishing  between  the  true  and  the  false,  regendi  cuncta  onus,  Ta.  1,  II, 
the  burden  of  governing  the  world. 


Cases  of  Gerunds  and  Gerundives. 
Nominative. 

2243.  The  nominative  of  the  gerundive  construc¬ 
tion,  as  the  subject  of  sum,  denotes  action  which  is  to 
be  done. 

The  combination  acquires  the  meaning  of  obligation  or  propriety,  and 
this  meaning  also  passes  over  to  the  accusative  with  esse,  the  person  who 
has  the  action  to  do  is  put  in  the  dative  of  the  possessor  (1215)-  Instead 
of  the  dative,  the  ablative  with  ab  is  sometimes  used,  particularly  where  the 
dative  would  be  ambiguous. 

tib!  haec  cura  suscipienda  est,  V.  4,  69,  the  undertaking  of  this  care  ex¬ 
ists  for  you,  i.e.j you  must  undertake  this  charge.  Caesari  omnia  uno  tem¬ 
pore  erant  agenda  ;  vexillum  proponendum,  slgnum  tuba  dandum,  ab 
opere  revocandi  milites,  acies  instruenda,  milites  cohortandi,  slgnum 
dandum,  2,  20,  1  ,for  Caesar  there  was  everything  to  be  done  at  the  same  mo¬ 
ment:  the  standard  to  be  raised ,  bugle  call  given,  soldiers  summoned  in  from 
their  work,  line  of  battle  to  be  formed,  soldiers  harangued,  signal  given  for  en¬ 
gagement.  quaerenda  pecunia  prlmum  est ;  virtus  post  nummbs,  H.  E. 

ct  there  is  money-making  to  be  the  first  aim  *  character  second  to  dollars. 
a’deundus  mih!  illic  est  homo,  PI.  A’.  129S,  I  must  draw  near  this  fellow. 
Caesar  statuit  sibi  Rhenum  esse  transeundum,  4>  *b,  1,  Caesar  made  up 
his  mind  that  he  must  cross  the  Rhine,  ego  istum  iuvenem  doml  tenen¬ 
dum  censeo,  L.  21,  3,  6,  for  my  part,  I  think  that  young  man  ought  to  be  kept 
at  home,  ei  ego  a  me  referendam  gratiam  non  putem  ?  Planc.jZ,  should 
I  not  think  that  I  ought  to  show  my  gratitude  to  him  ?  quid  a  me  amplius 
dicendum  putatis  ?  F.  3>  bo,  what  more  do  you  think  that  I  need  say  ? 

2244.  fruendus,  fungendus,  potiundus,  utendus,  vescendus,  are  also 

used  in  this  construction,  chiefly  in  the  oblique  cases;  in  the  nominative 
the  impersonal  construction  (2246)  is  usual.  I  hese  verbs  sometimes  ha\e  a 
transitive  use  in  old  Latin  (1380). 

non  paranda  nobis  solum  ea,  sed  fruenda  etiam  est,  Fin.  1,  3,  that 
is  a  thing  which  we  must  not  only  obtain ,  but  enjoy  as  well,  of  wisdom,  nec 
tamen  est  potiunda  tibi,  O.  9,  754,  she  is  not  to  be  won  by  thee.  Examples 
of  the  oblique  cases  in  this  use  are  cited  below. 

388 


The  Gerundive  and  Gerund.  [2245-2249. 


2245.  habeo  with  the  gerundive,  as  an  equivalent  of  est  mihi,  est  tibi, 
&c.  (2243),  is  sometimes  found,  chiefly  in  late  writers  and  particularly  in 
Tacitus  :  as, 

multi  habent  in  praediis,  quibus  frumentum  aut  vinum  aliudve 
quid  desit,  inportandum,  Yarro,  RR.  i,  16,  2,  many  on  whose  estates  corn  or 
wine  or  something  else  is  lacking ,  have  to  bring  it  in.  multum  interest 
utrumne  de  furtS  dicendum  habeas  an  de  civibus  trucidatxs,  Ta.  D.  37, 
it  makes  a  great  difference  whether  you  have  to  speak  about  a  theft  or  about  the 
murder  of  Romans,  si  nunc  primum  statuendum  haberemus,  Ta.  14,  44, 
if  we  had  to  decide  the  point  to-day  for  the  first  time. 

2246.  The  neuter  of  verbs  of  intransitive  use  takes  the  imper¬ 
sonal  construction  with  est.  Verbs  ordinarily  transitive  also  take 
the  impersonal  construction  when  used  without  an  object. 

nunc  est  bibendum,  H.  1,  37,  I,  now  drinking  exists,  i  .e.no7owe  must  drink. 
inambulandumst,  PI.  As.  682, 1  must  be  moving  on.  ego  amplius  delibe¬ 
randum  censed,  T.  Pk.  457,  I  opine  there  must  be  more  pondering,  linguae 
moderandumst  mihl,  PI.  Cu.  486,  I  must  check  my  tongue,  omne  animal 
cSnfitendum  est  esse  mortale,  DN.  3,  32,  it  must  be  admitted  that  every 
living  thing  is  destined  to  die.  nemo  umquam  sapiens  proditori  creden- 
dum  putavit,  V.  1,  38,  no  wise  man  ever  held  that  a  traitor  was  to  be  trusted. 

2247.  The  impersonal  construction  with  an  object  in  the  accusative,  is 
old-fashioned  and  rare. 

canes  paucbs  habendum,  Varro,  RR.  1,  21,  one  should  keep  but  few  dogs. 
aeternas  quoniam  poenas  in  morte  timendumst,  Lucr.  1,  hi,  since  pun¬ 
ishment  eterne  they  have  in  death  to  fear.  This  construction  occurs  oftenest 
in  Lucretius  and  Varro;  once  in  Plautus,  a  few  times  in  Cicero  for  special 
reasons,  and  here  and  there  in  later  writers.  Not  in  Caesar  or  Horace. 

2248.  The  gerundive  sometimes  acquires,  in  itself,  the  meaning  of 
obligation  or  propriety,  which  it  properly  has  only  when  combined 
with  sum,  and  becomes  a  mere  adjective,  used  in  any  case. 

forma  expetenda  llberalem  virginem,  PI.  Per.  521,  a  freeborn  maid  of 
shape  delectable.  L.  Bruto,  principe  huius  maxime  cSnservandi  generis 
et  nominis,  Ph.  3,  1 1,  Brutus,  the  first  of  this  ??iost  highly  cherished  house  and 
name,  huic  timendo  hosti  obvius  fui,  L.  21,  41,  4,  I  met  this  dreadful  foe. 
Athenas,  multa  visenda  habentis,  L.  45,  27, 1 1,  Athens,  which  contains  many 
sights  worth  a  visit. 


2249.  The  attributive  gerundive  (2248),  particularly  with  a  negative, 
in-  privative,  or  vix,  may  denote  possibility,  like  the  verbal  in  -bilis  :  as, 

labores  non  fugiendos,  Fin.  2,  118,  inevitable  labours.  Polybius,  haud- 
quaquam  spernendus  auctor,  L.  30,  45,  5,  Polybius,  an  authority  by  no 
means  despicable,  infandum,  regina,  iubes  renovare  dolorem,  V.  2,  3,  thou 
bidst  me,  queen,  rehearse  that  woe  unspeakable,  vix  erat  credendum,  5,  28,  1, 
it  was  hardly  credible,  praedicabile  aliquid  et  gloriandum  ac  prae  se 
ferendum,  TD.  5,  49,  something  laudable  and  vauntable  and  displayable  as 
well.

2250-2252.]  Sentences:  Nouns  of  the  Verb . 


Accusative. 

2250.  (1.)  The  accusative  of  the  gerundive  construction  is 
used  with  loco  and  conduco,  with  suscipio,  habeo,  and 
euro,  and  with  verbs  of  giving  or  assigning. 

With  the  verbs  of  giving  or  assigning  (such  as  do,  trado,  committo,  at- 
tribuo,  divido,  relinquo,  permitto,  denoto),  the  emphasis  often  gravitates 
towards  the  substantive,  and  the  gerundive,  as  an  explanatory  appendage, 
acquires  the  meaning  of  purpose.  So  in  Plautus  with  the  verbs  of  asking 
(rogo  and  petd). 

{a.)  caedundum  conduxi  ego  ilium  : :  turn  optumumst  loces  efferen- 
dum,  Pi.  A nl.  567,  I  engaged  him  for  killing :  :  then  you  V  belter  contract  for

conduxerat  faciendam,  Div.  2,  47,  the  contractor  who  had  undertaken  the  mak¬ 
ing  of  that  pillar.  vellem  suscepisses  iuvenem  regendum,  Att.  10,  6,  2,  1 
wish  you  had  undertaken  training  the  young  man.  aedem  habuit  tuendam, 
V.  1, 130,  he  had  the  looking  after  the  temple,  agrum  de  nostro  patre  colen- 
dum  habebat,  T.  Ph.  364,  he  had  the  tilling  of  a  farm  from  my  father. 

(b.)  coiravit  •  BASILICAM  •  CALECANDAM,  CIL.  I,  1166,  he  superintended 
the  town  hall  plastering,  pontem  faciendum  curat,  1,  13,  1,  he  attends  to  a 
bridge's  being  made ,  i.  e.  has  it  made,  consulibus  senatus  rem  ptiblicam 
defendendam  dedit,  Ph.  8,  15,  the  senate  entrusted  the  defence  of  the  state  to 
the  consuls,  agros  plebl  colendos  dedit,  RP.  3,  16,  he  gave  lands  to  the 
common  people  to  till.  Antigonus  Eumenem  propinquis  sepeliendum 
tradidit,  N.  18,  13,  4,  Antigonus  delivered  Eumenes  to  his  kinsfolk  to  be  buried. 
attribuit  ncs  trucldandos,  C.  4,  13,  us  he  handed  cn>er  to  be  slaughtered. 
saucios  milites  curandos  dividit  patribus,  L.  2,  47,  12,  he  apportioned  the 
wounded  soldiers  among  the  senators  to  cure.  haec  porcis  comedenda 
relinques,  H.  E.  1,  7,  19,  you  'll  leave  them  to  the  pigs  to  eat.  civis  Romanos 
trucldandos  denotavit,  IP.  7,  he  specified  Romans  for  slaughter. 

(e.)  quae  utenda  vasa  semper  vicini  rogant,  PI.  Anl.  96,  traps  that 
the  neighbours  are  always  asking  the  use  of.  artoptam  ex  proxumo  uten- 
dam  petd,  PI.  Aul.  400,  I ’m  going  for  the  use  of  a  breadpan  from  next  door. 

2251.  When  such  a  verb  is  passive,  the  accusative  becomes  nominative. 

simulacrum  Dfanae  tollendum  locatur,  V.  4,  76,  the  moving  of  the 
statue  of  Diana  is  let  out.  dilaceranda  feris  dabor  alitibusque  praeda, 

Cat.  64,  152,  I  shall  be  given  a  prey  for  beasts  and  birds  to  tear,  traditique 
fetialibus  Caudium  ducendi,  L.  9,  10,  2,  and  they  were  delivered  to  the  fetials 
to  be  taken  to  Caudium. 

2252.  (2.)  The  accusative  of  the  gerundive  construction  or 
gerund  is  used  with  a  preposition,  usually  ad.  If  the  verb  is 
of  transitive  use,  the  gerundive  is  proper,  not  the  gerund  (2240). 

This  construction  is  used  with  verbs  (including  verbs  of  hindering),  with 
substantives  generally  to  denote  purpose,  and  with  adjectives  which  have  the 
meaning  of  capable,  fit,  easy,  useful,  &c..  &c.

Fin.  2,  64,  he  made  use  of  the  sort  of  food  which  was  easiest  to  digest. 

2253.  Other  prepositions  are  sometimes  used :  as,  inter,  in  old  Latin, 
Livy,  and  later  writers  ;  ob,  once  in  Ennius,  rarely  in  Cicero  and  Sallust ;  in 
and  ante,  very  rarely,  but  even  in  the  classical  period;  circa,  propter,  and 
super,  late  and  very  rare. 

mores  se  inter  ludendum  detegunt,  Quintil.  1,  3,  12,  character  discovers 
itself  during  play,  ob  rem  iudicandam  pecuniam  accipere,  V.  2,  78,  to 

take  money  for  passing  judgement  on  a  case. 


Dative. 

2254.  The  dative  of  the  gerundive  construction  is  used 
with  adjectives,  verbs,  and  phrases  of  ability,  attention,  and 
adaptation,  with  titles  of  office,  and  with  comitia,  election. 

This  construction  is  not  very  common  in  classical  Latin,  where  few  verbs 
and  substantives  take  it  instead  of  the  usual  ad  and  the  accusative  (2252). 
In  old  Latin,  it  is  also  joined  to  adjectives  and  participles  ;  in  Cicero  it  is 
thus  used  only  with  accommodatus,  in  Caesar  only  with  par.  From  Livy 
on,  the  construction  becomes  a  very  favourite  one. 

tails  iactandis  tuae  sunt  cSnsuetae  mantis,  PI.  Vid.  33, yoiir  hands  are 
used  to  throwing  dice,  optumum  open  faciundo,  PI.  R.  757,  most  suitable  for 
carrying  on  his  trade,  praeesse  agro  colendo,  RA.  50,  to  superintend  farm 
managing,  cum  dies  venisset  rogation!  ferendae,  Att.  1,  14,  5,  when  the 
day  came  for  proposing  the  bill,  hibernis  oppugnandis  hunc  esse  dictum 
diem,  5,  27,  5,  that  this  was  the  day  set  for  attacking  the  winter  quarters. 
cbnsul  placandis  dis  habendoque  dilectu  dat  operam,  L.  22,  2,  1,  the  con¬ 
sul  devotes  himself  to  propitiating  the  gods  and  raising  troops.  Demosthenes 
curator  murls  reficiendls  fuit,  OG.  19,  Demosthenes  was  commissioner  for 
repairing  the  walls.  mvirl  r€l  ptiblicae  cSnstituendae,  L.  Epit.  120,  a 
commission  of  three  for  reorganizing  the  state,  comitia  collegae  subrogandS 
habuit,  L.  2,  8,  3,  he  held  an  election  for  appointing  a  colleague. 

2255.  In  the  dative,  a  transitive  gerund  with  an  object  in  the  accusative  is  found 
two  or  three  times  in  Plautus.

2256-2259-]  Sentences:  Nouns  of  the  Verb . 


2256.  Late  writers  sometimes  use  the  dative  of  the  gerundive  construc¬ 
tion  instead  of  a  final  clause  (1961) :  as, 

subducit  ex  acie  legionem  faciendis  castris,  Ta.  2,  21,  he  withdraws  a 
legion  from  the  field  to  build  a  camp,  nidum  mollibus  plumis  cbnsternunt 
tepgfaciendis  5vls,  simul  ne  durus  sit  infantibus  pullis,  Plin.  NH.  10,92, 

they  line  the  nest  with  soft  feathers  to  warm  the  eggs ,  and  also  to  prevent  it  from 
being  unco?nfortable  to  their  young  brood. 

2257.  The  dative  of  the  gerund  is  used  chiefly  by  old  and  late  writers, 
and  is  confined  in  the  best  prose  to  a  few  special  phrases. 

Ssculandd  meliust  pausam  fieri,  PI.  R.  1205,  Pis  better  that  a  stop  be  put 
to  kissing,  tu  nec  solvendo  eras,  Ph.  2,  4,  you  were  neither  solvent,  sc  •  arf, 
i.  e.  scribendo  arfuerunt,  CIL.  I,  196,  2,  there  were  present  when  the  document 
was  put  in  writing,  quod  scrlbendd  adfuisti,  Fain.  15,  6,  2,  because  you 
were  present  at  the  writing. 


Genitive. 

2258.  (1.)  The  genitive  of  the  gerundive  construction  or 
gerund  is  used  with  substantives  or  adjectives. 

(a.)  tacendi  tempus  est,  PI.  Poen.  741,  it ’s  time  to  be  still,  spes ' 
potiundi  oppidi,  2,  7,  2,  the  hope  of  overpowering  the  town  (2244).  summa 
difficultas  navigandi,  3,  12,  5,  the  greatest  difficulty  in  sailing,  proelii  com- 
mittendi  signum  dedit,  2,  21,  3,, he  gave  the  signal  for  beginning  the  battle. 
exemplb  eorum  clades  fuit  ut  Marsi  mitterent  oratores  pacis  petendae,

sue  for  peace,  sive  naves  deiciendi  operis  essent  missae,  4,  17,  10,  or  if 
vessels  for  breaking  down  the  works  had  been  sent.  Particularly  with  causa, 
gratia,  or  rarely  erg5  (1257),  to  denote  purpose:  as,  frumentandi  causa, 
4,  12,  1,  for  foraging,  vitandae  suspiciSnis  causa,  C.  1,  19,  to  avoid  sus¬ 
picion.  muneris  fungendi  gratia,  RP.  1,  27,  for  the  sake  of  doing  one's  duty. 
illiusce  sacri  coercendi  erg5,  Cato,  RR.  139,  because  of  thinning  out  yon 
hallowed  grove. 

(b.)  quam  cupida  eram  hue  redeundi,  T.  Hec.  91,  how  eager  1 7vas  to

eager  listener,  nescia  tolerandi,  Ta.  3,  1,  ignorant  what  patience  was. 
nandi  pavidus,  Ta.  //.  5,  14,  afraid  to  swim.  With  adjectives,  the  gerun¬ 
dive  construction  is  not  found  in  Plautus  and  Terence,  and  the  gerund  not  in 
Plautus.  Terence  has  the  gerund  with  cupidus,  Cato  with  studiosus.  The 
construction  is  of  slow  growth  before  Tacitus,  who  greatly  developed  it. 

2259.  In  the  genitive,  a  transitive  gerund  with  an  object  in  the  accusa¬ 
tive  is  rare  ;  ordinarily  the  gerundive  is  used  (2240).

The  Gerundive  and  Gerund.  [2260-2264. 


te_defrudandi  causa,  PI.  Men.  687,  for  the  purpose  of  cheating  you.  cupi-

dedit,  L.  24,  16,  14,  he  gave  the  signal  to  pack  their  things. 

2260.  nostri,  vostri  (or  vestri),  and  sui,  being  singular  in  form  (649) 
have  often  a  singular  gerundive. 

non  tarn  sui  conservandi  quam  tuorum  consiliorum  reprimendorum 
causa  proftigerunt,  C.  1,7,  they  fled ,  not  so  much  to  protect  themselves  as  to

come  for  them  to  revenge  themselves,  vestri  adhortandi  causa,  L.  21,  41,  1, 
for  the  purpose  of  encouraging  you. 

2261.  This  gerundive,  being  mistaken  for  a  gerund,  is  occasionally  used 
with  a  real  plural,  rarely  with  a  singular.  This  use  is  found  in  old  Latin, 
Lucretius,  Varro,  and  here  and  there  in  Cicero,  as  well  as  in  late  Latin. 

nominandi  istorum  tib!  erit  c5pia,  PI.  Cap.  852 ,  you  will  have  a  chance 
to  name  them,  poenarum  solvendi  tempus,  Lucr.  5,  1225,  the  time  of  pay¬ 
ing  penalties.  exempldrum  eligendi  potestas,  Inv.  2,  5,  a  chance  of  picking 
out  examples,  lucis  tuendi  copiam,  PI.  Cap.  1008,  a  chance  to  look  upon  the 
light. 

2262.  (2.)  The  genitive  of  the  gerundive  construction  is  used 
predicatively  with  sum. 

regium  imperium,  quod  initio  conservandae  llbertatis  fuerat,  S.  C. 

6,  7,  the  authority  of  the  king ,  which  had  originally  served  to  uphold  freedom. 

cetera  in  xii  minuendi  sumptus  sunt  lamentationisque  funebris,  Leg.  2, 

59,  the  rest  of  the  contents  of  the  Twelve  Tables  are  conducive  to  the  abating  of

classes ,  which  they  believe,  serves  to  break  down  the  power  of  the  tribunes.  This 
use  is  not  common.  It  is  found  rarely  in  Sallust  and  Cicero;  chiefly  in 
Livy. 

2263.  The  genitive  of  the  gerundive  construction,  without  a  substantive 
or  adjective  (2258)  or  the  verb  sum  (2262),  is  occasionally  used  to  denote 
purpose  :  as, 

quae  ille  cepit  legum  ac  Hbertatis  subvortundae,  S.  Fr.  Phil.  10, 
which  he  began  in  order  to  overthrow  freedom  and  the  laws ,  of  civil  war. 
unum  vinciri  iubet,  magis  usurpandi  iuris  quam  quiaunius  culpa  foret, 
Ta.  //.  4,  25,  he  ordered  one  into  irons,  more  to  vindicate  his  authority  than  be¬ 
cause  an  individual  was  to  blame.  This  use  occurs  very  rarely  in  Sallust, 
chiefly  in  Tacitus  and  late  Latin.  Once  in  Terence  with  the  gerund. 

2264.  Tacitus  has  the  genitive  of  the  gerundive  construction  two  or  three  times 
with  a  judicial  verb  (1280)  to  denote  the  charge:  as,  occupandae  rgl  publicae 
argui  non  poterant,  Ta.  6,  10,  they  could  not  be  charged  with  an  attempt  on  the 
throne.

Ablative. 

2265.  In  the  ablative  a  transitive  gerund  with  a  substantive  object  is  not 
uncommon. 

fratrem  laudando,  Leg.  1,  1,  in  quoting  your  brother .  large  partiendo 
praedam,  L.  21,  5,  5,  by  a  lavish  distribution  of  the  spoil.  This  use  is  par¬ 
ticularly  common  in  Livy. 

2266.  (1.)  The  ablative  of  the  gerundive  construction  or 
gerund  denotes  means,  less  often  cause,  rarely  manner  and  cir¬ 
cumstances,  or  time,  or  respect. 

Means  :  Caesar  dando  sublevando  ignoscundo,  Cato  nihil  largiundo 
gloriam  adeptus  est,  S.  C.  54,  3,  Caesar  gained  reputation  by  giving,  helping, 
and  pardoning,  Cato  by  lavishing  no  gifts,  opprimi  sustentando  ac  pr5la- 
tando  nullo  pacts  potest,  C.  4,  6,  it  cannot  be  crushed  by  patience  and  procras¬ 
tination.  Livy  has  this  ablative  with  the  adjective  contentus  (1377):  nec

loquendS  cuivis  erat  par,  Br.  128,  in  his  use  of  Latin  he  was  a  match  for

2267.  (2.)  The  ablative  of  the  gerundive  construction  or 
gerund  is  also  accompanied  by  a  preposition,  ab,  de,  in,  or 
ex  ;  rarely  by  pro.

The  Supine. 


[2268-2272 


2268.  With  a  comparative  expression,  the  ablative  of  the  gerundive  is  found 
once:  nullum  officium  referenda  gratia  magis  necessarium  est,  Off.  1, 
47,  no  obligation  is  more  binding  than  the  returning  of  a  favour.  The  gerundive 
construction  in  the  ablative  of  separation  (1302)  is  tound  rarely  in  Livy  and  Pliny 
the  younger;  Livy  has  also  the  gerund:  as,  Verminam  absistere  sequendo 
coegit,  L.  29,  33,  8,  he  forced  Vermina  to  abandon  his  pursuit. 

- o - 


THE  SUPINE. 

2269.  The  supine  is  a  verbal  substantive.  The  form  in  -um  is  an 
accusative.  The  form  in  -vl  is  used  sometimes  as  a  dative,  sometimes 
as  an  ablative. 

The  Supine  in  -um. 

2270.  The  supine  in  -um  denotes  purpose  with  verbs  of 
motion  (1166)  :  as, 

abiit  piscatum,  PL  P.  2>(ff>,he 's  gone  a  fishing,  neu  noctu  irem  obam- 
bulatum,  PI.  Tri.  315,  not  to  go  a  prowlitig  by  night,  legione  una  frumen- 
tatum  missa,  4,  32,  1,  one  legion  being  sent  a  foraging,  sessum  it  praetor, 
DiV.  3,  74,  the  praetor  is  going  to  take  his  seat,  spectatum  veniunt,  veniunt 
spectentur  ut  ipsae,  O.  A  A.  1,  99,  they  come  to  see  and  eke  for  to  be  seen. 
This  use  is  very  common  in  Plautus  and  Terence,  less  common  in  Cicero  and 
Caesar.  It  is  found  not  infrequently  in  Sallust  and  particularly  in  Livy; 
sporadically  in  the  Augustan  poets.  In  late  prose  it  is  almost  confined  to 
archaistic  writing.  In  classical  Latin,  purpose  is  more  commonly  expressed 
by  the  subjunctive  with  ut  or  a  relative  pronoun,  or  by  a  gerundive  or  gerund 
with  ad  or  causa.  See  also  2164. 

2271.  The  most  common  supines  in  -um  are  cubitum,  dormitum,  erep- 
tum,  frumentatum,  gratulatum,  nuntiatum,  oppugnatum,  oratum,  pas- 
tum,  perditutn,  petitum,  salutatum,  sessum,  supplicatum.  They  are 
found  chiefly  with  e5  and  veni5.  nuptum  is  also  common  with  do,  colloco, 
&c. 

2272.  The  supine  in  -um  may  be  followed  by  the  same  construction  as  its 
verb :  as, 

(a.)  Accusative:  deos  salutatum  atque  uxorem  modo  intrS  devortor 
domum,  PI.  St.  534,  I’ll  just  turn  in  home  to  greet  my  gods  and  my  wife. 
legatos  ad  Caesarem  mittunt  rogatum  auxilium,  1,  11,  2,  they  send  envoys 
to  Caesar  to  beg  aid.  oppugnatum  patriam  nostram  veniunt,  L.  2r,  41,  13, 
they  come  to  assail  our  country.  Classical  writers  generally  avoid  this  use  of 
the  accusative,  (b.)  Dative:  servitum  tibi  me  abducito,  PI.  Ps.  520,  take 
me  away  to  slave  for  you.  non  ego  Grals  servitum  matribus  ibd,  V.  2,  786, 
not  I  shall  go  to  be  the  serf  of  Grecian  dames,  (c.)  Subordinate  clause  :  legatx 
veniebant :  Aedui  questum  quod  Harudes  fines  eorum  popularentur, 
1,  37,  1,  envoys  came :  the  Aeditaus  to  complain  ‘  because  the  Harudians  were 
laying  their  country  waste’  (1853).  legatos  ad  Caesarem  miserunt  5ratum 
ne  se  in  hostium  numero  duceret,  6,  32,  1,  they  sent  envoys  to  Caesar  to  beg 
that  he  would  not  regard  them  in  the  light  of  enemies.

2273“2277*]  Sentences :  Nouns  of  the  Verb . 


2273.  The  supine  in  -um  followed  by  iri  forms  the  future  passive  infini¬ 
tive  :  as, 

eum  exceptum  iri  puts,  Att.  7,  22,  1,  I  think  that  there  is  a  going  to  cap¬ 
ture  him ,  i.  e.  that  he  is  going  to  be  captured.  Here  iri  is  used  impersonally 
and  eum  is  the  object  of  exceptum.  This  infinitive  is  found  half  a  dozen 
times  in  old  Latin,  oftenest  in  Cicero,  rarely  in  other  writers ;  not  in  the 
Augustan  poets.  For  the  common  periphrasis,  see  2233. 


The  Supine  in  -u. 

2274.  The  supine  in  -u  is  used  with  fas,  nefas,  and  adjec¬ 
tives,  chiefly  of  such  meaning  as  easy,  good,  pleasant ,  strange ,  or 
their  opposites. 

Only  a  few  supines  in  -u  are  found ;  the  commonest  are  auditu, 
cognitu,  dictu,  factu,  inventu,  memoratu,  natu,  visu. 

si  h5c  fas  est  dictu,  TD.  5,  38,  if  heaven  allozus  us  to  say  so.  difficile 
dictu  est  de  singulis,  Ram.  1,  7,  2,  it  is  hard  to  say  in  the  case  of  individuals. 
quaerunt  quod  optimum  factu  sit,  V.  1,  6S,  they  ask  what  the  best  thing  is 
to  do.  quid  est  tarn  iocundum  cognitu  atque  auditu?  DO.  1,31,  what 
pleasure  is  greater  to  mind  and  ear  ?  palpebrae  mollissimae  tactu,  DAP.  2, 
142,  the  eyelids  are  very  soft  to  the  touch.  With  such  adjectives  the  dative  is 
commonly  used  (1200)  ;  or,  particularly  with  facilis  or  difficilis,  the  gerun¬ 
dive  construction  with  ad  (2252) ;  for  the  infinitive,  see  2166.  The  supine  in 
-u  is  found  chiefly  in  Cicero  and  Livy.  Very  rare  in  old  Latin,  Sallust, 
Caesar  (who  has  only  factu  and  natu),  and  the  poets.  From  the  elder  Pliny 
and  Tacitus  on,  it  gets  commoner. 

2275.  The  supine  in  -u  sometimes  introduces  a  subordinate  sentence, 
but  it  is  never  used  with  an  object  in  the  accusative. 

quoivis  facile  scitu  est  quam  fuerim  miser,  T.  Hec.  296,  anybody  can 
easily  understand  how  unhappy  I  was.  incredibile  memoratu  est  quam 
facile  coaluerint,  S.  C.  6,  2,  it  is  an  incredible  tale  how  readily  they  grew  into 
one.  videtis  nefas  esse  dictu  miseram  fuisse  talem  senectutem,  CM.  13, 

you  see  that  it  were  a  sin  to  say  that  an  old  age  like  his  was  unhappy. 

2276.  The  supine  in  -u  is  found  rarely  with  opus  est  (1379),  dignus  and 
indignus  (1392)  :  as, 

ita  dictu  opus  est,  T.  Hau.  941,  thus  thou  must  needs  say.  nihil  dignum 
dictu  actum  his  consulibus,  L.  4,  30,  4,  nothing  worth  mentioning  was 
done  this  year.  For  dignus  with  qui  and  the  subjunctive,  see  1819;  for 
opus  est  with  the  infinitive,  2211. 

2277.  In  Plautus  and  Cato,  the  supine  in  -u  is  very  rarely  used  like  an  ablative  of 
separation  (1302):  as,  nunc  opsonatu  reded,  PI.  Men.  288,  Dm  only  just  back 
froyn  the  caterer's,  primus  cubitu  surgat,  postremus  cubitum  eat,  Cato, 
RR.  5,  5,  let  him  be  first  to  get  up  from  bed  and  last  to  go  to  bed.

THE  PARTICIPLE. 

2278.  The  participle  is  a  verbal  adjective.  Like  the  adjec¬ 
tive,  it  is  inflected  to  agree  with  its  substantive.  Like  the  verb, 
it  may  be  modified  by  an  adverb,  it  is  active  or  passive,  and  it 
expresses  action  as  continuing,  completed,  or  future.  It  may 
also  be  followed  by  the  same  case  as  its  verb. 

Time  of  the  Participle. 

2279.  (1.)  The  time  to  which  the  participle  refers  is  indicated  by 
the  verb  of  the  sentence. 

aer  effluens  hue  et  illuc  ventos  efficit,  DN.  2,  101  ,the  air  by  streaming 
to  and  fro  produces  winds,  convent  hodie  adveniens  quendam,  T.  Eu.  234, 
I  met  a  man  as  I  was  coming  to-day.  mantis  tendentes  vitam  orabant,  L. 
44,  42,  4,  with  hands  outstretched  they  begged  their  lives.  Croesus  Halyn 
penetrans  magnam  pervertet  opum  vim,  oracle  in  Div.  2,  115,  Croesus, 
when  Halys  he  shall  cross ,  will  overthrow  a  mighty  realm,  benignitatem 
tuam  mihi  experts  praedicas,  PI.  Merc.  289,  thou  vauntest  to  me  who've 
proved  thy  courtesy,  consecutus  id  quod  animS  proposuerat,  receptul 
cani  iussit,  7,  47,  1,  having  accojjiplished  what  he  had  designed,  he  gave  orders 
to  sound  the  retreat.  Dionysius  Syracusis  expulsus  Corinth!  puerSs 
docebat,  TD.  3,  27,  after  his  expulsion  from  Syracuse,  Dionysius  kept  school 
at  Corinth,  legati  dixerunt  se  re  deliberate  ad  Caesarem  reversuros, 
4,  9,  1,  the  envoys  said  that  they  would  come  back  to  Caesar  after  they  had 
thought  the  matter  over. 

2280.  (2.)  The  perfect  participle  of  deponents  is  sometimes  used  with 
past  tenses  or  their  equivalents  to  denote  incomplete  contemporaneous 
action.  So  occasionally  a  perfect  passive. 

(a.)  Metellum  esse  rati  portas  clausere,  S.  I.  69,  1,  supposing  that  it 
was  Metellus,  they  closed  their  gates,  gavisus  illSs  retineri  iussit,  4,  13,  6, 
with  pleasure  he  gave  orders  for  their  detention,  persuadent  Rauracis  uti 
eSdem  usi  consiliS  proficiscantur,  1,  5,  4,  they  coaxed  the  Rauraci  to  adopt 
the  same  plan  and  go.  solatus  iussit  sapientem  pascere  barbam,  H.  S.  2, 
3,  35,  consoling  me  he  bade  me  grow  a  philosophic  beard.  This  use  is  not  found 
in  old  Latin,  very  rarely  in  Cicero.  Sallust  and  Caesar  use  a  few  verbs  thus. 
It  is  not  uncommon  in  the  Augustan  poets  and  Livy.  In  late  writers, 
especially  Tacitus,  it  is  frequent,  (b.)  servum  sub  furca  caesum  mediS 
egerat  circS,  L.  2,  36,  I,  he  had  driven  a  slave  round,  flogged  under  the  fork , 
right  in  the  circus.  With  this  compare  servus  per  circum,  cum  virgis 
caederetur,  furcam  ferens  ductus  est,  Div.  1,  55,  a  slave  with  the  fork  on 
his  neck  was  driven  through  the  circus,  flogged  with  rods  the  while  (1872).  But 
the  perfect  passive  has  its  ordinary  force  (2279)  in  verberibus  caesum  te 
in  pistrlnum  dedam,  T.  Andr.  199,  /  ’ ll  give  you  a  flogging  and  then  put  you 
in  the  mill.

The  Attributive  Participle. 

# 

2282.  The  present  or  perfect  participle  is  often  used  as  an 
adjective  to  express  a  permanent  condition  :  as, 

acrem  5ratorem,  incensum  et  agentem  et  canorum  fori  strepitus 
deslderat,  Br.  317,  the  noisy  forum  requires  an  impetuous  speaker, inspired  and 
dramatic  and  sonorous.  L.  Abuccius,  homo  adprime  doctus,  Varro,  RR. 
3,  2,  1 7,  Abuccius ,  an  eminently  learned  man.  alii  facetl,  flSrentes  etiam  et 
ornati,  O.  20,  others  are  brilliant ,  even  bright  and  elegant,  id  t ibf  renuntio 
futurum  ut  sis  sciens,  T.  Andr.  508,  I  give  you  notice  this  will  happen,  that 
you  ?nay  be  prepared. 

2283.  The  future  participle  is  found  as  an  adjective  in  the  Augustan 
poets  and  in  late  writers.  Cicero, -however,  has  futurus  in  this  use  with 
res  and  a  few  other  words. 

da  mansuram  urbem,  V.  3,  85,  grant  a  city  that  shall  abide,  firmus 
paries  et  duraturus,  Ta.  D.  22,  a  strong  and  durable  wall,  signa  osten- 
duntur  a  dis  rerum  futurarum,  DN.  2, 12,  signs  of  future  events  are  disclosed 
by  the  gods.  For  the  future  participle  with  forms  of  sum,  see  1633. 

2284.  Many  participles  have  become  complete  adjectives,  and  as 
such  are  capable  of  composition  or  comparison,  or  take  the  case  re¬ 
quired  by  an  adjective. 

(a.)  nomen  invicti  imperatoris,  V.  4,  82,  the  invincible  general's  name. 
purus  et  insons  si  viv5,  H.  S.  1,  6,  69,  pure  and  guiltless  if  I  live  (749). 
(b.)  solutus  veneficae  scientioris  carmine,  H.  Epod.  5,  71,  freed  by  some 
craftier  witch's  charm,  homo  eruditissimus,  Verres,  V.  4,  126,  Verres , 
most  accomplished  of  men.  (c.)  tibi  sum  oboediens,  PI.  MG.  806,  I  'm  your 
obedient  (1200).  te  confido  ea  facturum  quae  mihl  intelleges  maxime 
esse  accommodata,  Earn.  3,  3,  2,  I  feel  confident  that  you  will  do  what  you 
shall  feel  most  appropriate  to  my  interests  (1201).  For  the  genitive  with  such 
participles,  see  1266. 

2285.  A  perfect  participle  in  agreement  with  a  substantive  often 
contains  the  leading  idea,  and  may  be  translated  like  an  abstract  sub¬ 
stantive  with  a  genitive  dependent.  The  nominative  is  rarely  thus 
used. 

This  construction  expresses  the  completed  action  of  the  verb  in  pre¬ 
cisely  the  same  way  that  the  gerundive  construction  (2240)  expresses  uncom¬ 
pleted  action. 

(<7.)  Joined  with  substantives  :  iniuriae  retentorum  equitum  Roma- 

ndrum,  3, 10,  2,  the  outrages  of  Roman  knights  detained,  i.  e.  in  the  detention  of 
Roman  knights,  servatl  consulis  decus,  L.  21,  46,  10,  the  credit  of  saving 
the  consul,  male  administratae  provinciae  urgebatur,  Ta.  6,  29,  he  7vas 
charged  with  maladministration  of  his  province,  o  quid  solutis  est  beatius 
curls  ?  Cat.  31,7,  oh  what  is  sweeter  than  the  putting  off  of  care  ? 

( b .)  Joined  with  prepositions:  ab  condita  urbe  ad  liberatam,  L.  1,  60, 

3,  from  the  foundation  of  the  city  to  the  liberation  thereof,  post  natSs  ho¬ 
mines  improbissimus,  Br.  224,  the  greatest  reprobate  since  the  creation  of  man. 
ante  clvitatem  datam,  Arch.  9,  before  the  gift  of  the  citizenship.

[2286-2290. 


(c.)  In  the  nominative:  very  rare  before  Livy:  depressa  hostium 
classis,  Arch.  21,  the  sinking  of  the  enemy' s  fleet,  angebant  ingentis  spiri- 
tu.s  virum  Sicilia  Sardiniaque  amissae,  L.  21,  1,  5,  what  tortured  the  high- 
souled  hero  was  the  loss  of  Sicily  and  Sardinia,  cuius  turbavit  nitidos 
exstinctus  passer  ocellds,  J.  6,  7,  whose  sparkling  eyne  the  spar ro ids  death 
bedimmed. 

2286.  This  use  of  the  participle,  though  old,  is  not  common  before  Livy, 
who,  like  Tacitus,  has  it  frequently,  both  with  substantives  and  with  prepo¬ 
sitions.  Very  rare  in  Caesar,  rare  in  Cicero,  who,  however,  uses  it  both  with 
substantives  and  with  a  few  prepositions.  In  old  Latin  (not  in  Terence),  it 
is  found  with  the  substantives  opus  and  usus,  in  Cato  with  post,  in  Varro 
with  propter  :  as,  mi  homine  conventSst  opus,  PI.  Cur.  302,  I  needs  must 
see  the  man.  propter  mare  congelatum,  Varro,  RR.  1,  2,  4,  by  reason  of 
the  freezing  op  the  sea  water.  For  the  participle  alone  with  usus  est  and 
opus  est,  see  1382. 

The  Substantive  Participle. 

2287.  Participles  sometimes  become  substantives,  especially  the 
perfect  participle :  as, 

vivit  gnata,  T.  Ph.  749, your  daughter’s  alive,  de  demensS  su5,  T.  Ph. 
43,  out  of  his  allowazice.  institutum  tenebimus,  TD.  4,  7,  we  zvill  hold  to  our 
fundamental  idea.  Adverbs,  not  adjectives,  are  commonly  used  to  qualify 
perfect  participles  used  as  substantives ;  for  examples,  see  1440.  The 
masculine  singular  is  rarely  used  as  a  substantive;  the  neuter,  both  singular 
and  plural,  is  common,  particularly  with  prepositions. 

2288.  The  masculine  plural  of  the  perfect  participle,  when  used  as  a 
substantive,  generally  denotes  a  definite  class  of  persons  :  as, 

ut  damnati  in  integrum  restituantur,  vincti  solvantur,  V.  5,  12,  that 
the  condemned  go  scot-free ,  the  imprisoned  are  set  at  liberty.  Catillna  cum 
expeditis  in  prima  acie  vorsari,  S.  C.  60,  4,  Catiline  bustling  round  in  the 
van  with  the  light  infantry,  evocatis  equds  sumit,  7,  65,  5,  he  took  away  the 
veterans'  horses.  Rarely  not  denoting  a  definite  class  :  as,  missi  intercipi- 
untur,  5,  40,  1,  the  men  who  had  been  sent  (i.e.  on  a  particular  occasion)  are 
cut  off. 

2289.  The  perfect  participle  alone  sometimes  serves  as  the  subject  of  a 
sentence  instead  of  an  abstract  substantive  (2285)  :  as, 

notum  furens  quid  femina  possit,  V.  5, 6,  the  knorvled°e  ofzuhat  a  woman 
in  her  wrath  can  do.  pronuntiatum  repente  ne  quis  violaretur,  multitu- 
dinem  exuit  armis,  L.  4,  59,  7,  the  sudden  proclamation  that  nobody  zuas  to 
,  be  harmed ,  deprived  the  people  of  their  weapons.  This  use  is  found  chiefly 
in  Livy,  once  or  twice  in  Cicero;  notin  Caesar  or  Sallust. 

22go.  The  present  participle  is  rarely  a  substantive  in  the  nominative  and 
ablative  singular,  but  often  in  the  other  cases. 

in  constituentibus  rem  publicam,  Br.  45,  among  the  founders  of  a  state. 
multae  insectantes  depellunt,  DAP.  2,  127,  many  drive  off  their  pursuers. 
nec  praeterita  nec  praesentia  abs  te,  sed  futura  exspecto,  Fatn.  2,  8, 
1  do  not  expect  from  you  the  fast  or  the  present ,  but  the  future. 

399 


2291-2295*]  Sentences:  Nouns  of  the  Verb. 


2291.  The  genitive  plural  of  the  present  participle  is  often  best  trans¬ 
lated  by  an  English  abstract :  as, 

cachinnds  inridentium  commovebat,  Br.  21 6,  he  provoked  guffaws  of 
derision.  mixtSs  terrentium  paventiumque  clam  ores,  L.  22,  5,  4,  mingled 
cries  of  exultation  and  terror,  primo  gaudentium  impetu,  Ta.  H.  1,  4,  in 
the  first  outburst  of joy. 

2292.  The  future  participle  is  very  rarely  used  as  a  substantive. 

auditurum  dicturi  cura  delectat,  Quintil.  11,  3,  157,  deliberation  on  the 
part  of  one  who  is  on  the  point  of  speaking  attracts  his  prospective  hearer. 
have,  imperator,  morituri  te  salutant,  Suet.  Claud.  21,  emperor,  all  hail ! 
the  doomed  give  thee  greeting.  This  use  is  found  in  late  writers,  as  in  Tacitus 
and  Curtius  once  each,  and  half  a  dozen  times  in  Pliny  the  younger.  Cicero 
and  Sallust  have  futurus  thus  (2283)  :  as,  abs  te  futura  exspectd,  Fam.  2, 
8,  1  .from  you  I  expect  the  future,  supplicia  in  post  futurds  composuit, 
S.  Fr.  Lep.  6,  he  invented  penalties  for  men  unborn. 


The  Appositive  Participle. 

2293.  The  appositive  participle  is  a  loose  substitute  for  a 
subordinate  sentence  introduced  by  a  relative  or  by  a  conjunc¬ 
tive  particle. 

2294.  (1.)  The  appositive  participle  may  represent  a  relative  sen¬ 
tence  :  as, 

novi  ego  Epicureos  omnia  sigilla  venerantes,  DN.  1,  85,  why,  I  know 

Epicureans  who  bow  the  knee  to  all  sorts  of  graven  images.  Conon  muros 

dlrutds  a  Lysandro  reficiendos  curat,  N.  9,  4,  5,  Conon  superintended  the 
rebuilding  of  the  walls  which  had  been  destroyed  by  Lysander.  The  future 
participle  is  poetic  and  late  (2283)  :  as,  serves  iturum  Caesarem  in  Britan- 
nos,  H.  1,  35,  29, guard  Caesar  who  against  the  Britons  is  to  march. 

2295.  (2.)  The  appositive  participle,  representing  other  sen¬ 
tences,  may  express  various  relations  :  as,  (a.)  time,  (b.)  cause  or 
means,  (cl)  purpose,  (d.)  concession,  (el)  hypothesis,  (f.)  descrip¬ 
tion  or  the  manner  of  an  action,  like  an  adverb. 

For  the  ablative  absolute  in  such  relations,  see  1362-1374,  particularly 

1367. 

(«.)  Time:  vehemens  sum  exoriens,  quom  occido  vehementior,  PI. 

R.  yi,  furious  am  I  at  my  rising ,  when  I  set  more  furious  still,  occisus  est

Syracusas,  V.  5,  95,  the  freebooters,  after  tarrying  but  one  flight,  began  to  draw 
near  Syracuse.  The  future  is  late  (2283)  :  as,  primum  omnium  virorum 
fortium  iturl  in  proelia  canunt,  Ta.  G.  3,  as  the  chief  of  all  brave  heroes , 
they  sing  of  him  when  they  are  on  the  point  of  going  to  battle,  of  Hercules.

plation  of  these,  the  mind  arrives  at  a  knowledge  of  the  gods.  The  future  par¬ 
ticiple  is  late :  as,  neque  illls  iudicium  aut  veritas,  quippe  eodem  die 
diversa  pari  certamine  postulaturis,  Ta.  H.  1,  32,  they  had  neither  sound 
judgement  nor  sincerity,  since  on  the  same  day  they  were  to  make  conflicting  de¬ 
mands  with  equal  vehemence. 

(c.)  Purpose:  the  future  participle,  commonly  with  a  verb  of  motion  : 
ad  Clusium  venerunt,  legionem  Romanam  castraque  oppugnaturl,  L. 
10,  26,  7,  they  came  to  the  neighbourhood  of  Clusium,  to  assail  the  Roman  legion 
and  camp,  ascendit  ipse,  laturus  auxilium,  Plin.  Ep.  6, 16,  9,  he  went  aboard

rediere  omnes  Bononiam,  rursus  consiliaturi,  Ta.  H.  2,  53,  they  all  went 
back  to  Bologna  for  a  second  consultation.  This  use  appears  first  in  C. 
Gracchus  as  cited  by  Gellius,  then  once  in  Cicero  and  Sallust  each,  and  a 
few  times  in  the  poets.  From  Livy  on,  it  grows  commoner.  In  the  poets, 
Livy,  and  Tacitus,  it  is  sometimes  joined  with  a  conditional  idea  or  protasis  : 
as,  egreditur  castris  Romanus,  vallum  invasurus  ni  copia  pugnae 
fieret,  L.  3,  60,  8,  the  Roman  inarches  out  of  camp ,  proposing  to  assault  the 
stockade  unless  battle  were  offered. 

(d.)  Concession  :  qul  mortalis  natus  condicidnem  postules  immor- 

talium,  TD.  3,  36,  thou  zoho,  though  born  to  die,  layest  claim  to  the  state  of  the

num  et  manum  suam  cognovit,  C.  3,  12,  thereupon  Lentulus,  though  throzvn 
into  the  most  extreme  confusion,  did  yet  recognize  his  own  hand  and  seal.  For 
quamquam  and  quamvis,  see  1900,  1907.  Ovid  and  Propertius  sometimes 
have  licet:  as,  isque,  licet  caeli  regione  remdtos,  mente  deos  adiit,  O. 
15,  62,  he  in  the  spirit  to  the  gods  drew  nigh,  though  they  are  far  away  in  heaven's

(e.)  Hypothesis:  quid  igitur  mih!  ferarum  laniatus  oberit  nihil  sen¬ 
tient!  ?  TD.  I,  104,  what  hurt  will  the  clawing  of  wild  beasts  do  me  if  I  have

ut,  and  in  late  writers  with  tamquam  or  velut,  see  2121.  The  future  parti¬

1'.  Ph.  45,  my  lady  'll  grab  it  all  without  a  thought  of  all  the  toil  it  cost  to  get. 
non  rogatos  ultrb  offerre  auxilium,  L.  34,  23,  3,  that  without  being  asked, 
they  offer  assistance  of  their  own  accord. 


The  Predicative  Participle. 

2297.  habeo  is  sometimes  used  with  certain  perfect  participles  to 
express  an  action  continuing  in  its  consequences,  facio,  do,  and  in 
old  Latin  reddo  and  euro,  with  a  perfect  participle,  are  emphatic  sub¬ 
stitutes  for  the  verb  to  which  the  participle  belongs. 

(a.)  quae  nos  nostramque  adulescentiam  habent  despicatam  et 
quae  n5s  semper  omnibus  cruciant  modis,  T.  Eu.  383,  who  hold  us  and 
our  youth  in  scorn  and  torment  us  in  every  way.  in  ea  prbvincia  pecunias 
magnas  collocatas  habent,  IP.  18,  they  have  invested  large  funds  in  that 
province.  ClSdii  animum  perspectum  habeo,  cSgnitum,  iudicatum,  ad 
Br.  1,  1,  1,  Clodius's  mind  I  have  looked  into  thoroughly ,  probed ,  formed  a 
judgement  on.  clausum  lacu  ac  mbntibus  et  circumfusum  suis  cbpiis 
habuit  hostem,  L.  22,  4,  5,  his  enemy  he  had  shut  in  by  lake  and  mountains 
and  surrounded  by  his  troops.  See  also  1606. 

{b.)  missa  haec  face,  T.  Ad.  906,  let  this  pass,  verum  haec  missa  facio, 
PA.  76,  but  I  let  this  pass.  Manlium  missum  fecit,  Off.  3,  112,  he  let  Man¬ 
lius  go.  factum  et  curatum  dabo,  PI.  Cas.  439,  I'll  have  it  done  and  seen 
to.  stratas  legiones  Latinorum  dabo,  L.  8,  6,  6, 1  will  lay  the  Latin  legions 
low.  ego  iam  te  commdtum  reddam,  T.  Andr.  864,  I'll  soon  have  you 
worked  up.  inventum  tibi  curabo  tuom  Pamphilum,  T.  Andr.  684,  I'll 
have  your  Pamphilus  looked  up  for  you.  In  classical  writers,  facib  only  is 
found  in  this  use  and  only  with  the  participle  of  mitto  ;  do  occurs  in  late 
writers;  redd5  and  curb  only  in  old  Latin.  All  these  verbs  are  usually  in 
the  future  tense  or  its  equivalent.  For  volo,  cupio,  and  nolo  with  the  infin¬ 
itive  passive  without  esse,  see  2229. 

2298.  The  present  participle  is  used  predicatively  with  verbs 
signifying  represent,  and  with  verbs  denoting  the  exercise  of  the  senses 
or  mind  :  as, 

facit  SScratem  disputantem,  DN.  1,  31,  he  represents  Socrates  dis¬ 
cussing.  quasi  ipsbs  indtixi  loquentes,  L.  3,  I  have  brought  on  the  men 
themselves  as  speaking,  non  ilium  miserum,  Ignarum  casus  sul,  redeun- 
tem  a  cena  videtis  ?  PA.  98,  do  you  not  see  the  poor  man,  little  dreaming  of 
his  fate,  returning  from  the  dinner  ?  non  audivit  draebnem  loquentem, 
Div.  2,  14 1,  he  did  not  hear  the  serpent  speaking.  This  use  is  found  in  Cicero, 
Sallust,  Horace,  Nepos,  Vitruvius,  and  Livy.  Once  in  Piso  (consul  133  R.  c  ), 
as  cited  by  Gellius,  7,  9,  6.  Verbs  denoting  the  exercise  of  the  senses  or 
mind  take  the  accusative  with  the  infinitive  to  denote  the  fact  or  action  ;  see 
2175.  For  audib  with  cum,  see  1870.  For  the  infinitive  without  esse  with 
verbs  of  emotion,  see  2184. 

2299.  A  passive  with  a  verb  meaning  represent  is  expressed,  for  lack  of  a 
present  passive  participle, by  the  infinitive  (2175).  The  infinitive  active  is  rare.

[2299. 


(a.)  construi  a  de5  atque  aedificari  mundum  facit,  DN.  i,  19,  he  rep¬ 
resents  the  world  being  put  together  and  built  by  the  gods,  (b.)  poetae  impen- 
dere  saxum  Tantalo  faciunt,  TD.  4,  35,  the  poets  represent  a  rock  hanging 
over  Tantalus.  Rarely  the  participle  (2298)  and  the  infinitive  are  united  :  as, 
Polyphemum  Homerus  cum  ariete  conloquentem  facit  eiusque  lau- 
dare  fortunas,  TD.  5,  115,  Homer  represents  Polyphemus  chatting  with  the 
ram  and  his  e)ivy  of  the  ram's  estate.  But  the  perfect  infinitive  active  must 
be  used  when  the  action  is  to  be  distinctly  marked  as  completed,  for  lack  of 
a  perfect  active  participle:  as,  fecit  Dolabella  Verrem  accepisse,  V.  1, 100, 
Dolabella  represented  Verres  as  having  received. 


APPENDIX 


(A.)  SOME  OCCASIONAL  PECULIARITIES  OF 

VERBS. 

2300.  In  many  cases  where  in  English  a  verb  like  wish  or  try  to  have  a 
thing  done,  can ,  must ,  or  am  allowed  to,  is  used,  the  equivalent  Latin  verb  is 
omitted.  As  this  use  generally  extends  through  the  entire  system  of  the 
Verb,  examples  of  the  nouns  of  the  verb  and  of  subordinate  sentences  thus 
used,  are  conveniently  included  here. 

The  Conative  Use. 

2301.  A  verb  is  sometimes  used  to  denote  action  proposed, 
attempted,  or  begun,  but  not  necessarily  carried  out.  This  is 
called  the  Conative  Use  of  the  verb :  as, 

ancillas  dedo,  T.  II ec.  773,  I  try  to  give ,  or  I  offer  up  the  servant  girls. 
sine  ulla  dubitatidne  condemnant,  Clu.  75,  without  a  moment's  hesitation 
they  vote  to  condemn,  dum  id  inpetrant,  PI.  Cap.  233,  as  long  as  they  ’ re 
trying  to  get  it.  si  places  inlacrimabilem  Plutona,  II.  2,  14,  5,  shouldst 
thou  the  stonyhearted  Pluto  strive  to  melt,  si  discedas,  J.  7,  50,  should  you 
attempt  to  leave,  in  curiam  abiecit,  quam  vivus  everterat,  Mil.  90,  he 
shoved  the  corpse  into  the  senate  house,  which  the  man  in  his  lifeti?ne  had  done 
hi f  best  to  overthrow,  adsurgentem  regem  umbone  resupinat,  L.  4,  19,  5, 
with  the  boss  of  his  shield  he  put  the  king  flat  on  his  back,  when  he  tried  to 
get  up. 

2302.  This  use  is  particularly  common  in  the  imperfect  indicative  :  as, 

nostrSs  ingredi  prohibebant,  5,  9,  6,  they  tried  to  stop  our  people  from 
getting  in.  Apelles  faciebat,  Pli w:  NH.  praef.  26,  Apelles  undertook  to  do 
this ,  or  an  attempt  of  Apelles's,  sedabant  tumultus.  sedando  interdum 
movebant,  L.  3,  15,  7,  they  tried  to  quell  the  riotings,  but  by  trying  they  started 
the??i  once  in  a  while  afresh,  num  dubitas  id  me  imperante  facere,  quod 
iam  tua  sponte  faciebas  P  C.  1,  13,  do  you  possibly  hesitate  to  do  at  my  com¬ 
mand  what  you  wanted  to  do,  as  it  was,  yourself  ?  The  conative  use  is  not 
very  common  in  old  Latin,  but  more  frequent  from  Cicero  and  Caesar  on. 

2303.  When  the  conative  use  is  to  be  expressed  more  distinctly,  a  form  of  vol5 
or  Conor  is  used,  or  a  frequentative,  like  venditd,  try  to  sell,  advents,  strive  to 
come.

2304-2306.] 


Appendix  (A.) 


The  Causative  Use. 

2304.  A  verb  is  sometimes  used  to  denote  not  what  the  subject  actually 
does  himself,  but  what  he  has  another  do.  This  is  called  the  Causative  Use 
of  the  verb  :  as, 

animi  causa  mihi  navem  faciam,  PI.  R.  932, just  for  diversion  I  ’ll  build 
me  a  yacht,  cum  vellet  sib!  anulum  facere,  aurificem  iussit  vocari,  V, 

4,  56,  wanting  to  make  him  a  ring,  he  ordered  a  goldsmith  to  be  called,  com- 

plures  pauperes  mortuos  sub  sumptu  extulit,  N.  5,  4,  3,  he  buried  a  good 
many  poor  dead  people  at  his  own  expense,  i.  e.  had  them  buried.  Also  in  the 
passive:  as,  tondemur,  Quintil.  1,  6,  44,  we  get  shaved.  When  greater  ex¬ 
actness  is  required,  having  a  thing  done  may  be  expressed  more  distinctly  by 
facio  (1965),  by  euro  (2250),  or  by  iubeo. 


The  Potential  Use. 

2305-  A  verb  is  sometimes  used  to  indicate  action  that  can  be 
done,  and  especially  action  that  can  be  done  at  any  time.  This  is 
called  the  Potential  Use  of  the  verb  :  as, 

clare  oculis  video,  PI.  MG.  630, 1  can  see  distinctly,  propterea  quod  inter 
fines  Helvetiorum  et  Allobrogum  Rhodanus  fluit  isque  nonnullis  locis 
vado  transitur,  1,6,  2,  because  the  Rhone  runs  between  the  district  of  the  Hel¬ 
vetians  and  Allobrogans,  and  the  river  in  some  places  can  be  forded,  or  is  ford¬ 
able.  Particularly  with  a  negative  :  as,  aperte  adulantem  nemo  non  videt, 
L.  99,  an  open  flatterer  anybody  can  see  through .  non  facile  diiudicatur 
amor  verus  et  fictus,  Fain.  9,  16,  2,  real  love  and  pretended  love  cannot  easily 
be  told  apart,  ub!  Crassus  animadvertit,  suas  copias  non  facile  diduci, 
non  cunctandum  existimavit,  3,  23,  7,  when  Crassus  sazu  that  his  forces 
could  not  easily  be  divided,  he  thought  he  ought  to  lose  no  time,  quoniam 
propositum  non  tenuerat,  Caes.  C.  3,  65,  4,  seeing  that  he  had  not  succeeded 
in  carrying  out  his  plan.  Sometimes  this  idea  is  expressed  by  the  subjunc¬ 
tive  (1554). 


The  Obligatory  Use. 

2306.  A  verb  is  sometimes  used  to  denote  obligatory  action.  This  is 
called  the  Obligatory  Use  of  the  verb  :  as, 

paulisper  commoratus  est,  Mil.  28,  he  had  to  zuait.  aegra  trahebant 
corpora,  V.  3,  140,  they  had  to  drag  their  sickly  frames  along,  carui  patria, 
Sest.  145,  I  had  to  keep  away  from  the  country  of  my  birth,  senator  populi 
Romani  pernoctavit  in  publico,  V.  4,  25,  a  senator  of  Rome  was  fain  to  sleep 
in  the  streets,  seremus  aliquid  in  derelicto  solo,  Br.  16,  we  shall  have  to 
sow  something  in  an  abandoned  field,  erat  summa  inopia  pabuli,  adeo  ut 
foliis  equos  alerent,  Caes.  C.  3,  58,  3,  there  was  an  utter  lack  of  fodder,  so  that 
they  were  fain  to  feed  their  horses  on  leaves. 

406 


Indirect  Discourse. 


[2307-2312. 


The  Permissive  Use. 

2307.  A  verb  is  sometimes  used  to  denote  permitted  action.  This  is 
called  the  Permissive  Use  of  the  verb :  as, 

Verresne  habebit  domi  suae  candelabrum  Iovis  ?  V.  4,  71 ,  shall  Verves 
be  allowed  to  have  at  his  house  a  candelabra  of  Jupiter?  petit  ut  ipse  de  eo 
statuat,  1,  19,  5,  he  asks  to  be  allowed  to  sit  in  judgement  himself  on  the  man. 
Piso  oravit  ut  maneret,  Ta.  2,  81,  Piso  asked  to  be  allowed  to  stay. 


(B.)  INDIRECT  DISCOURSE. 

(Oratio  Obliqua.) 

2308.  The  speech  or  thought  of  another,  quoted  in  his  own  words, 
is  called  Direct  Discourse  (1723). 

2309.  The  speech  or  thought  of  another,  dependent  on  a 
verb  of  saying  or  thinking,  is  called  Indirect  Discourse  (1723). 

One  may,  of  course,  quote  his  own  words  or  thoughts  indirectly,  as  well 
as  those  of  another  (1726). 

2310.  The  verb  of  thinking  or  saying  is  often  not  distinctly 
expressed,  but  only  implied  in  the  context  (1725). 

2311.  The  principles  which  govern  the  change  of  direct  discourse  into 
indirect  discourse  have  been  already  set  forth  in  the  foregoing  pages  ;  but, 
for  the  convenience  of  the  learner,  they  are  here  put  together. 


MOOD. 

(A.)  Main  Sentences. 

2312.  Declarative  sentences  of  direct  discourse  are 
put  in  the  accusative  with  the  infinitive,  and  interroga¬ 
tive  and  imperative  sentences  of  direct  discourse  are 
put  in  the  subjunctive,  in  indirect  discourse. 

(a.)  For  examples  of  declarative  sentences,  see  2175-2184. 

407 


2313-2315-] 


Appendix  (3.) 


(b.)  Interrogative  (1773):  quid  vellet  ?  cur  in  suas  possessiones 
veniret  ?  1,  44,  7,  what  did  he  mean  ?  why  this  movement  into  his  property  ? 

from  Ariovistus’s  reply  to  Caesar,  dictator  litteras  ad  senatum  misit : 
deum  benignitate  Veios  iam  fore  in  potestate  populi  RSmani;  quid  de 
praeda  faciendum  censerent ?  L.  5,  20,  1,  the  dictator  sent  this  letter  to  the 
senate :  through  the  bounty  of  the  gods  Vei  would  soon  belong  to  the  Roman 
nation  ;  what  did  they  think  should  be  done  about  the  booty  ? 

( c .)  Imperative  (1547) :  Cicerd  respondit :  si  ab  armis  discedere  ve- 
lint,  se  adiutore  utantur  legatosque  ad  Caesarem  mittant,  5,  41,  7, 

Cicero  replied  :  if  they  wished  to  lay  dozen  their  arms ,  let  them  take  his  advice 
and  send  envoys  to  Caesar,  nuntius  61  dom5  venit :  bellum  Athenienses 
et  BoeStSs  indixisse  Lacedaemoniis ;  quare  venire  ne  dubitaret,  N.  17, 

4,  1,  a  message  reached  him  from  home:  the  Athenians  and  Boeotians  had 
declared  zuar  on  the  Lacedaemonians  ;  so  he  zuas  to  cozne  without  delay.  See 
also  1707,  170S. 

2313.  Rhetorical  questions  (that  is,  declarations  made  for  effect  in 
the  form  of  questions)  in  the  first  or  third  person  in  the  direct  dis¬ 
course  are  put  in  the  accusative  with  the  infinitive  in  indirect  dis¬ 
course:  as, 

si  veteris  contumeliae  oblivisci  vellet,  num  etiam  recentium  iniuri- 
arum  memoriam  deponere  posse  ?  1,  14,  3,  if  he  zuere  inclined  to  disregard 
the  old  affront,  could  he  also  forget  their  fresh  insults  ?  from  Caesar’s  reply  to 
the  Helvetians,  haud  mirum  esse  Superbo  6i  inditum  Rdmae  cognd- 
men  :  an  quicquam  superbius  esse  quam  ludificari  sic  omne  nomen 
Latinum  ?  cui  n5n  apparere  adfectare  eum  imperium  in  Latinds  ?  L. 
i,  5°>  3.  no  zoonder  Rome  dubbed  him  ‘  the  Proud’ :  could  there  be  a  greater 
sign  of  pride  than  this  mockery  of  the  zvhole  Latin  nation  ?  zuho  did  not  see  that 
he  aspired  to  dominion  over  the  Latins  ?  This  use  is  not  found  in  old  Latin. 
It  occurs  once  or  twice  in  Cicero’s  letters  and  a  few  times  in  Caesar.  In 
Livy  and  late  writers,  it  is  not  uncommon.  Such  questions  in  the  second 
person  require  the  subjunctive  (2312). 

2314.  Questions  which  are  in  the  subjunctive  in  direct  discourse  retain 
the  subjunctive  in  indirect  discourse  :  as, 

quod  ver5  ad  amicitiam  populi  Romani  attulissent,  id  iis  eripi  quis 
pati  posset  ?  1,  43,  8,  zuho  coidd  allozv  them  to  be  stripped  of  zu hat  they  had 
possessed  when  they  became  the  friends  of  the  Roman  nation  ?  (1565). 


(B.)  Subordinate  Sentences. 

2315.  The  verb  of  a  subordinate  sentence,  intro¬ 
duced  by  a  relative  word  or  a  conjunctive  particle, 
stands  in  the  subjunctive  in  indirect  discourse  (1722). 

For  the  indicative  with  dum,  in  the  time  while ,  retained  in  indirect 
discourse,  see  1995. 


408 


Indirect  Discourse. 


[2316-2319. 


sapientissimum  esse  dicunt  eum,  cui  quod  opus  sit  ipsi  veniat  in 
mentem  ;  proxime  accedere  ilium  qui  alterius  bene  inventis  obtem- 

peret,  Clu.  84,  they  say  he  is  the  wisest  man  who  thinks  out  of  himself  what  is 
expedient ;  and  that  the  man  who  avails  himself  of  the  wise  devices  of  another 

comes  next,  ad  haec  Ariovistus  respondit :  ius  esse  belli,  ut  qui  vicis- 
sent  iis  quos  vicissent,  quemadmodum  vellent  imperarent,  1,  36,  1,  to 
this  Ariovistus  answered:  that  it  was  the  right  of  war  for  the  conquerors  to 
dictate  to  the  conquered  such  terms  as  they  pleased. 

2316.  Relative  sentences  equivalent  to  main  sentences  (1835)  may  be  put 
in  the  accusative  with  the  infinitive  :  as, 

unum  medium  diem  fuisse,  quern  totum  Galbam  in  consideranda 
causa  componendaque  posuisse,  Br.  87,  that  a  single  day  intervened  and 
that  this  whole  day  Galba  employed  in  studying  up  and  arranging  the  case. 
This  use  is  found  in  Cicero,  Caesar,  Livy,  and  a  few  times  in  other  authors. 
Not  in  old  Latin. 

2317.  So  also  sentences  introduced  by  certain  conjunctive  particles  are 
occasionally  put  in  the  accusative  with  the  infinitive  :  as, 

id  quod  saepe  dictum  est:  ut  mare  ventorum  vi  agitari  atque  tur- 
bari,  sic  populum  Romanum  hominum  seditibsorum  vocibus  concitari, 
Clu.  138,  the  oft-repeated  saying :  as  the  sea  is  ruffled  and  tossed  by  the  mighty 
winds ,  so  the  people  of  Rome  are  stirred  up  by  the  talk  of  agitators,  honbrifi- 
cum  id  militibus  fore,  quorum  favorem  ut  largitione  et  ambitu  male 
adquiri,  ita  per  bonas  artes  haud  spernendum,  Ta.  H.  1,  17,  that  would  be 
a  mark  of  respect  to  the  troops ,  and  their  good  will ,  though  usually  won  by 
bribery  and  corruption,  7uas  certainly  no  small  gain  if  honourably  come  by. 
fugere  senatum  testes  tabulas  publicas  census  cuiusque,  cum  interim 
obaeratam  plebem  obiectari  aliis  atque  aliis  hostibus,  L.  6,  27,  6,  that 
the  senate  sojight  to  avoid  evidence  of  each  man's  property  through  making  pub¬ 
lic  returns ,  while  at  the  sajne  time  the  coynmons  lay  bazikrupt  and  at  the  i7iercy 
of  07:e  ene7tiy  after  another,  ut  and  quemadmodum  are  found  with  this  in¬ 
finitive  in  Cicero,  Livy,  and  Tacitus;  cum  interim  and  si  non  in  Livy; 
quia  in  Livy  and  Seneca;  quamquam  in  Livy  and  Tacitus;  nisi  forte  in 
Tacitus.  For  quam  with  the  infinitive,  see  1898. 

2318.  Relative  sentences  which  are  not  a  part  of  the  quotation, 
but  an  addition  of  the  writer’s,  or  which  are  a  circumlocution  equiva¬ 
lent  to  a  substantive,  are  marked  by  the  indicative  (1729) :  as, 

Condrusos,  Eburones,  Caeroesos,  Paemanos,  qui  uno  nomine 
German!  appellantur,  arbitrari  ad  XL  milia,  2,  4,  10,  that  they  i-eckozied  the 
i  Co7idrusians,  Eburojiia/is ,  Caeroesia7is  and  Paemanians  (zoho  are  all  called  by 
one  name  Germazis )  at  forty  thousand.  For  other  examples  of  such  sentences, 
see  1729. 

2319.  Sentences  containing  the  thought  of  another,  intro¬ 
duced  by  a  relative  pronoun  or  by  causal,  temporal,  or  other 
conjunctive  particles,  take  the  subjunctive,  though  not  ap¬ 
pended  to  the  accusative  with  the  infinitive  (1725)  :  as,

2320.  Sometimes  a  verb  of  saying  or  thinking  is  added,  and  is  itself 
irrationally  put  in  the  subjunctive.  For  examples,  see  1727. 


(2.)  TENSE. 

(A.)  Of  the  Infinitive. 

2321.  The  tenses  of  the  infinitive  follow  their  usual  law 
(2218),  representing  the  action  as  present,  past,  or  future,  from 
the  speaker’s  point  of  view. 

nuntiatum  est  Ariovistum  ad  occupandum  Vesontionem  conten¬ 
dere  triduique  viam  a  suis  finibus  profecisse,  1,  38,  1,  it  was  reported  that 
Ariovistus  zcias  pressing  on  (2219)  to  seize  Vesontio,  and  that  he  had  done  a  three 
days'  journey  from  his  own  borders  (2226).  fama  est  aram  esse  in  vesti- 
buld  templi,  L.  24,  3,  7,  rumour  has  it  that  there  is  an  altar  in  the  vestibule  of 
the  temple  (2219).  legati  haec  se  ad  subs  relaturos  dixerunt,  4,  9,  i,the 
envoys  said  they  would  report  this  to  their  countrymen  (2232).  For  other  ex¬ 
amples,  see  2175-2203;  for  the  infinitive  equivalent  of  the  indicative  imper¬ 
fect  and  pluperfect,  see  2226,  2227. 

(B.)  Of  the  Subjunctive. 

2322.  The  tenses  of  the  subjunctive  follow  the  law  of  the 
sequence  of  tenses  ;  see  1745. 

The  tenses  are  usually  imperfect  or  pluperfect,  as  the  verb 
introducing  a  quotation  is  usually  past. 

SScrates  dicere  solebat,  omnes  in  eo  quod  scirent,  satis  esse  elo- 
quentes,  DO.  1,  63,  Socrates  used  to  maintain  that  all  men  zvere  eloquent 
enough  in  a  matter  which  they  understood  (1766).  dicebam  quoad  metueres, 
omnia  te  promissurum,  Ph.  2,  89, 1  said  that  as  long  as  you  zvere  afraid,  you 
zvould promise  everything  (1771).  cognovit  Suebos  postea  quam  pontem 
fieri  comperissent,  nuntios  in  omnes  partes  dimisisse,  4,  19,  2,  he  ascer¬ 
tained  that  after  the  Suebans  had  learned  of  the  building  of  the  bridge,  they  had 
sent  out  messengers  in  every  direction  (1772).  For  other  examples,  see  1746- 
1772. 

2323.  But  the  present  and  perfect  subjunctive  are  often  used,  especially 
when  the  main  verb  is  present.

Indirect  Discourse. 


[2324-2327. 


Alexandrum  Philippus  accusat  quod  largitione  benevolentiam 
Macedonum  consectetur,  Off.  2,  $3,  Philip  accuses  Alexander  of  courting  the 
favour  of  the  Macedonians  by  the  use  of  money  (1746,  1853).  initium  quod 
huic  cum  matre  fuerit  simultatis  audistis,  Clu.  17,  you  have  heard,  the 
origin  of  the  enmity  which  was  between  the  defendant  and  his  mother  (1746). 
Ariovistus  respondit:  stipendium  capere  iure  belli  quod  victores 
victis  imponere  ednsuerint,  r,  44,  1,  Ariovistus  answered  that  it  was  by  the 
laws  of  war  that  he  took  the  tribute  which  victors  were  wont  to  lay  upon  the 
vanquished  (1755)-  For  other  examples,  see  1746-1772. 

2324.  The  future  of  direct  discourse  is  represented  in  indirect 
discourse  by  the  imperfect,  and  the  future  perfect  by  the  pluperfect 
subjunctive. 

se  quod  e  re  publica  esset  facturum,  L.  2S,  45.  3,  that  he  would  do  what 
should  be  for  the  interests  of  the  state  (1766).  se  non  ante  coepturum  quam 
ignem  in  regils  castris  conspexisset,  L.  30,  5,  5,  that  he  would  not  begin 
before  he  saw  fire  in  the  royal  camp  (1766,  1921).  The  present  or  perfect  sub¬ 
junctive  also  is  found  when  the  main  verb  requires.  For  other  examples, 
see  1746-1772. 


(3.)  Pronoun. 

2325.  ego  a°d  nos,  of  direct  discourse,  are  represented  by 
se  in  indirect  discourse,  and  meus  and  noster  by  suus.  tu 
and  v5s,  of  direct  discourse,  are  represented  in  indirect  dis¬ 
course  by  ille,  or,  when  less  emphatic,  by  is. 

For  the  use  of  the  reflexive  pronoun,  see  233S-2342. 

se  prius  in  Galliam  venisse  quam  populum  Romanum,  1,  44,  7,  that 
he  came  into  Gaul  before  the  Roman  nation ,  said  Ariovistus  of  himself,  se  a 
patribus  maioribusque  suis  didicisse,  r,  13,  6,  that  they  had  learned  from 
their  fathers  and  ancestors ,  said  the  Helvetians  of  themselves,  transisse 
Rhenum  sese  n5n  sua  sponte,  1,  44.  1,  that  he  had  crossed  the  Rhine  not  of 
his  own  accord ,  was  the  assertion  of  Ariovistus.  qui  nisi  decedat,  sese 
ilium  non  prd  armed  sed  hoste  habiturum.  quod  si  eum  interfecerit, 
multls  sese  principibus  populi  Romani  gratum  esse  facturum,  1,  44,  n, 
that  unless  he  withdrew ,  he  should  consider  him  not  a  friend  but  a  foe.  Why , 
if  he  killed  him ,  he  should  do  a  favour  to  numerous  leading  men  in  the  Roman 
nation.  Here  Ariovistus  is  reported  as  speaking  to  Caesar. 

CONDITIONAL  PERIODS  IN  INDIRECT  DISCOURSE. 

(A.)  Protasis. 

2326.  The  protasis  of  every  kind  (2023,  2024)  has  the  verb 
in  the  subjunctive  in  indirect  discourse  (2315). 

2327.  The  tense  of  the  protasis  is  generally  imperfect  or 
pluperfect  (2322)  :  as, 

411 


2328-2331.] 


Appendix  (B. ) 


Ariovistus  respondit :  si  ipse  populo  Romans  nSn  praescriberet, 
non  oportere  sese  a  populo  Romans  impediri,  1,  36,  1,  Ariovistus  an¬ 
swered:  if  he  did  not  dictate  to  the  Roman  nation ,  no  more  ought  the  Roman 
nation  to  interfere  with  him  (2026).  quae  si  fecisset,  Pompeium  in  His- 
panias  iturum,  Caes.  C.  1, 10,3,  if  he  did  that ,  Pompey  would  go  to  the  Spains 
(2061). 

2328.  But  indeterminate  protases  (2023)  are  sometimes  put  in  the 
present  or  perfect  subjunctive  in  indirect  discourse,  even  with  a 
main  secondary  tense  :  as, 

Ariovistus  respondit :  si  iterum  experiri  velint,  se  paratum  esse 
decertare,  1, 44,  1,  Ariovistus  answered  that  if  the  Romans  wanted  to  try  again , 
he  was  ready  to  fight  it  out  (2026).  qui  nisi  decedat,  sese  ilium  prS  hoste 
habiturum,  1,  44,  1 1,  that  unless  he  withdrew ,  he  should  consider  him  an  enemy 
(2054). 

2329.  Protases  of  action  non-occurrent  (2024)  remain  in  the 
imperfect  or  pluperfect,  even  with  a  main  primary  tense. 

licet  VarrS  Musas,  Aeli  Stildnis  sententia,  Plautino  dicat  sermone 
locuturas  fuisse  si  Latine  loqui  vellent,  Quintil.  10,  1,  99,  though  Varro , 
following  Stilo's  dictum,  may  say  that  the  A/uses  would  have  spoken  in  the  style 
of  Plautus,  if  they  had  wanted  to  speak  Latin  (2095).  quaeret  ab  accusa- 
toribus  quid  facturi  essent,  si  in  e5  loc5  fuissent,  Cornif.  2,  22,  he  will  ask 
the  accusers  what  they  would  have  done  if  they  had  been  in  that  predicament 
(2099). 


(B.)  Apodosis. 

2330.  In  indeterminate  conditional  periods  (2023),  the  apodosis 
simply  follows  the  general  rule  (2312) :  as, 

Iovem  sic  aiunt  philosophy  si  Graece  loquatur,  loqui,  Br.  121,  the 

philosophers  say  that  this  is  fove's  style  of  speaking,  if fove  speaks  Greek  (2026). 
sin  bell5  persequi  perseveraret,  reminisceretur  pristinae  virtutis  Helve- 
tiorum,  1,  13,  4,  if  he  persisted  in  following  them  up  with  war,  let  him  call  to 
mind  the  old  time  valour  of  the  Helvetians  (2056).  in  provinciis  intellege- 
bant  si  is  qui  esset  cum  imperiS  emere  vellet,  fore  uti  quod  quisque 
vellet  quanti  vellet  auferret,  V.  4,  10,  in  the  provinces  they  saw  that  jf  a 
ma7i  clothed  in  authority  should  wish  to  be  a  buyer,  he  would  carry  off  every  time 
'whatever  he  wished  at  what  he  ^wished  (2233;  2054  or  2076).  futurum  esse, 
nisi  provisum  esset,  ut  Roma  caperetur,  Div.  1,  101,  that  unless precatition 
'was  taken ,  Rome  would  be  captured  (2233,  2061).  si  veteris  contumeliae 
oblivisci  vellet,  num  etiam  recentium  iniuriarum  memoriam  depSnere 
posse  ?  I,  14,  3,  if  he  were  inclined  to  disregard  the  old  affront,  cojild  he  also 
forget  their  late  insults?  (2313).  For  other  examples,  see  2327,  2328. 

2331.  In  conditional  periods  of  action  non-occurrent  (2024), 
the  future  participle,  with  esse,  is  used  to  represent  the  imper¬ 
fect  subjunctive  active  of  direct  discourse,  and  the  future  parti¬ 
ciple  with  fuisse  to  represent  the  pluperfect  subjunctive  active  : 
as,

Pronouns. 


[2332-2335. 


(a.)  Caesarem  arbitrari  profectum  in  Italiam  ;  neque  aliter  Carnutes 
interficiundi  Tasgetii  consjlium  fuisse  captur5s,  neque  Eburbnes,  si  ille 
adesset,  ad  castra  venturds  esse,  5,  29,  2,  that  he  thought  Caesar  was  gone 
into  Italy  ;  otherwise ,  the  Carnutes  would  not  have  formed  their  design  of  killing 
Tasgetius,  and  the  Eburones ,  if  he  were  at  hand,  would  not  be  assaulting  the 
camp.  The  use  of  the  future  participle  with  esse  is  very  rare,  (b.)  an 
Cn.  Pompeium  censes  maximarum  rerum  glSria  laetaturum  fuisse,  si 
sciret  se  in  solitudine  Aegyptiorum  trucidatum  iri,  Div.  2,  22,  do  you 
suppose  that  Pompey  would  have  taken  any  pleasure  in  the  fame  which  his 
peerless  exploits  brought  him  if  he  had  known  that  he  was  going  to  be  butchered 
in  the  wilds  of  Egypt? 

2332.  The  perfect  infinitive  is  exceptionally  used;  this  is  based  upon  the 
indicative  in  apodosis  (2104). 

memoria  tened  solitum  ipsum  narrare  se  studium  philosophiae 
acrius  hausisse,  ni  prudentia  matris  incensum  animum  coercuisset, 

Ta.  Agr.  4,  I  remember  that  he  used  to  say  that  he  had  drunk  in  the  study  of 
philosophy  with  greater  eagerness,  had  not  his  discreet  mother  checked  his  ardent 
soul  (2105  or  2107). 

2333-  possum,  in  the  apodosis  of  a  conditional  period  of  action 
non-occurrent  (2101),  is  regularly  put  in  the  perfect  infinitive  in  in¬ 
direct  discourse  :  as, 

PlatSnem  existimo,  si  genus  forense  dicendi  tractare  voluisset, 
gravissime  potuisse  dicere,  Off.  1,  4,  I  think  that  if  Plato  had  only  chosen 
to  cultivate  forensic  eloquence ,  he  might  have  been  a  most  impressive  speaker 
(2103).  cum  dicerent  se  potuisse  in  amplissimum  locum  pervenire,  si 
sua  studia  ad  honores  petendos  ednferre  voluissent,  Clu.  1 53,  saying  they 
might  have  risen  to  the  proudest  position,  if  they  had  only  chosen  to  apply  their 
energies  to  a  political  career  (2103). 

2334*  futurum  fuisse  ut  with  the  imperfect  subjunctive  is  often 
used  in  the  passive  instead  of  the  future  participle  with  fuisse  (2331) ; 
as, 

Theophrastus  accusasse  naturam  dicitur  quod  hominibus  tarn  exi- 
guam  vitam  dedisset :  quorum  si  aetas  potuisset  esse  longinquior, 
futurum  fuisse  ut  omni  doctrina  hominum  vita  erudiretur,  TD.  3,  69,  it 

is  said  that  Theophrastus  took  tiature  to  task  ‘  for  giving  man  such  a  short  life  ; 
if  the  period  could  have  been  longer,  man's  life  would  have  been  informed  with 
kno7u ledge  of  every  sort  ’  (2099).

The  genitive  plurals  nostrum  and  vestrum  are  used  as  partitive, 
nostri  and  vestri  as  objective  genitives  :  as,

2336'2340-] 


Appendix  ( C .) 


nemo  nostrum,  RA.  55,  not  one  cf  us  (1242).  ab  utrisque  vestrum,

me  (1260).  nostri  nSsmet  paenitet,  T.  Ph.  172,  we  ’ re  discontented  with  our 
lot  (1283).  For  the  adjective  instead  of  the  possessive  or  objective  genitive, 
see  1234,  1262. 


The  Reflexive  se  and  suus. 

2336.  The  reflexive  regularly  refers  to  the  subject 
of  the  verb  :  as, 

fugae  sese  mandabant,  2,  24,  2,  they  betook  themselves  to  flight,  animo 
servit,  n5n  sibi,  PI.  Tri.  308,  he  serves  his  passions ,  not  his  better  self,  est 
amans  sui  virtus,  L.  98,  virtue  is  fond  of  itself,  ducit  secum  una  virginem, 
T.  Eu.  229,  he  is  leading  a  girl  along  with  him.  Caesar  cdpias  suas 
divlsit,  Caes.  C.  3,  9  7,  3,  Caesar  divided  his  forces.  For  se  ipse,  see  2376; 
for  se  or  suus  quisque,  239 7. 

2337.  The  reflexive  sometimes  refers  to  a  word  not  the  subject, 
when  that  word  is  specially  emphasized  or  easily  made  out  from  the 
context.  This  holds  chiefly  of  suus,  which  is  used  with  great  free¬ 
dom  :  as, 

Alexandrum  uxor  sua  occidit,  Inv.  2,  144,  Alexander  was  murdered  by 
his  oum  wife,  desinant  Insidiari  domi  suae  consul!,  C.  1,  32,  let  them  cease 
to  waylay  the  consul  in  his  own  house  and  home,  suas  res  Syracusanls  re- 
Stituit,  L.  29,  1,  17,  he  restored  their  property  to  the  Syracuse  people. 

2338.  In  the  construction  of  the  accusative  with  the  infini¬ 
tive  (2175),  the  reflexive  is  regularly  used  when  the  subject  of 
the  infinitive  refers  to  the  subject  of  the  verb :  as, 

Varus  imperium  se  habere  dixit,  Lig.  22,  Varus  said  that  he  had 
authority,  id  sese  effecturds  sperabant,  7,  26,  2,  they  hoped  to  accomplish  it 
(2235). 

2339.  The  reflexive,  in  this  construction,  sometimes  refers  to  an  empha¬ 
sized  word  not  the  formal  subject  of  the  verb :  as, 

canum  custodia  quid  slgnificat  aliud  nisi  se  ad  hominum  commodi- 
tates  esse  generatos  ?  DN.  2,  1 58,  the  watchfulness  of  the  dog — does  not  it 
show  that  he  was  created  for  the  convenience  of  man  ? 

2340.  When  the  subject  of  the  infinitive  is  different  from  that  of 
the  verb,  the  reflexive  sometimes  refers  to  the  subject  of  the  verb, 
sometimes  to  that  of  the  infinitive:  as, 

Ariovistus  respondit  omnes  Galliae  civitates  ad  se  oppugnandum 

venisse,  I,  44,  I,  Ariovistus  ansivered  that  all  the  states  of  Gaul  had  come  to 
attack  him ,  i.e.  Ariovistus.  neminem  secum  sine  sua  pernicie  con- 
tendisse,  I,  36,  6,  that  no  man  had  contended  with  him  without  his  own  un¬ 
doing  ;  secum  refers  to  Ariovistus,  the  subject  of  the  main  verb  respondit, 
sua  to  neminem.

Pronouns. 


[2341-2346. 


2341.  In  subordinate  subjunctive  clauses  of  purpose,  indirect 
discourse,  or  indirect  question,  the  reflexive  refers  to  the  subject 
of  the  main  sentence  :  as, 

huic  mandat,  ut  ad  se  quam  prirnum  revertatur,  4,  21,  2,  he  instructs 
him  to  come  back  to  himself  as  soon  as  possible,  excruciabit  me  erus,  quia 
sibi  n5n  dixerim,  PL  MG.  859,  my  master  ’ll  torture  me  ‘ because  I  have  not 
told  him l  Paetus  omnis  libros,  quos  frater  suus  reliquisset,  mihl  do- 
navit,  Att.  2,  1,  12,  Paetus  made  me  a  present  of  all  the  books  ‘  that  his  brother 
left: 

2342.  The  reflexive,  in  such  subordinate  clauses,  sometimes  refers  to  an 
emphatic  word  not  the  main  subject :  as, 

identidem  felicem  Priamum  vocabat,  quod  superstes  omnium 

suorum  exstitisset,  Suet.  Tib.  62,  he  was  for  ever  calling  Priam  ‘  Fortune’s 

darling,  because  he  outlived  all  his  kith  a?id  kin l 
r  A 

2343.  The  reflexive  referring  to  the  main  subject  is  sometimes  irregu¬ 
larly  used  in  subordinate  indicative  clauses. 

Epaminondas  6i,  qui  sib!  successerat,  exercitum  n5n  tradidit,  Inv.  1, 
55,  Epaminondas  did  not  deliver  the  army  to  his  successor,  centum  boves 
mflitibus  dono  dedit,  qui  secum  fuerant,  L.  7,  37,  3,  he  gave  a  hundred 
oxen  to  the  soldiers  who  had  been  with  him. 

Equivalents  for  a  Reciprocal  Pronoun. 

2344.  The  place  of  a  reciprocal  pronoun,  each  other ,  is  supplied 

by  inter  nos,  inter  vos,  inter  se,  or  by  alter  or  alius  followed  by 
another  case  of  the  same  word  :  as, 

inter  nos  natura  coniunctl  sumus,  Fin.  3,  66,  we  are  united  with  each 
other  by  nature.  Cicerones  pueri  amant  inter  se,  Att.  6,  1,  12,  the  Cicero 
boys  are  fond  of  each  other,  cum  alius  alii  subsidium  ferret,  2,  26,  2,  when 
they  were  helping  each  other.  For  uterque,  see  2400.  The  reciprocal  idea  is 
sometimes  expressed  by  the  form  of  the  verb:  as,  fulva  luctantur  harena, 
V.  6,  643,  they  wrestle  with  each  other  on  the  yellozu  sand  (1487). 

2345.  From  Livy  on,  invicem  inter  se,  invicem  se,  or  invicem  alone,  is 
often  used  in  the  expression  of  reciprocal  relations  :  as, 

invicem  inter  se  gratantes,  L.  9,  43,  17,  mutually  congratulating  each 
other,  invicem  se  anteponendS,  Ta.  Apr.  6,  mutually  preferring  one  an¬ 
other.  ut  invicem  ardentius  diligamus,  Plin.  Ep.  7,  20,  7,  that  we  may  love 
each  other  more  ardently. 

The  Possessive  Pronoun. 

2346.  The  possessive  of  the  personal  and  reflexive  pronoun  is  regularly 
omitted,  unless  it  is  required  for  emphasis  or  contrast:  as, 

5ra  manusque  tua  lavimus,  Feronia,  lympha,  H.  S.  1,  5,  24,  our  hands 
and  faces  in  thy  rill,  Feronia,  we  bathe.  The  possessive  sometimes  has  the 
meaning  of  proper,  appropriate,  favourable  ;  as,  suo  loc5  dlcam,  Quintil.  I,  1, 
36,  I  shall  tell  in  the  proper  place.  For  the  possessive  pronoun  used  instead 
of  the  possessive  or  objective  genitive,  see  1234,  1262.

receive  these  arms  and  this  soldier  in  thy  gracious  stream ,  the  prayer  of  Hora-

got  scent  of  it  in  time ,  where  the  speaker  means  himself. 

2349.  The  neuter  plural  haec  sometimes  means  the  realm ,  our  country , 
our  state,  the  [Roman]  world:  as, 

haec,  quae  iam  pridem  vastare  studes,  C.  1,  21,  the  realm  which  you 
have  long  sought  to  lay  in  ruins,  qui  haec  delere  ednati  sunt,  C.  4,  7,  who

C.  4,  16,  there  lives  no  slave. that  wills  not  our  country  should  abide. 

2350.  hie,  as  expressing  a  familiar,  every-day  thing,  occasionally  has  a 
shade  of  contempt,  either  alone,  or  with  volgaris,  cottidianus  or  the  like  : 
as, 

mittit  homini  munera  satis  large,  haec  ad  usum  domesticum,  V.  4, 

62,  he  sent  him  some  presents — pretty  liberal  ones ,  commonish  things  for  house¬

taedet  cottidianarum  harum  formarum,  T.Eu.  29  7,  I'm  sick  of  your  every¬ 
day  beauties. 

235I-  When  hie  relates  to  the  words  of  a  sentence,  it  points  out 
what  has  preceded  or  is  to  follow,  or  emphasizes  a  word  referred  to 
by  a  preceding  relative. 

For  hie  used  to  introduce  a  new  sentence,  see  2129. 

haec  habui  de  senectute  quae  dicerem,  C/1/.  85,  this  7uas  what  I  had  to

an  orator,  not  of  the  common  sort,  but  the  superior  one  of  whom  we  are  speaking. 

2353.  In  transitions,  ille  introduces  a  new  thing,  hie  denotes  the 
aforementioned :  as, 

sed  haec  vetera  ;  illud  veto  recens,  Caesarem  meo  consilio  inter- 
fectum,  Ph.  2,  25,  but  this  is  ail  ancient  history  ;  here,  however ,  is  something 
new,  that  Caesar  was  killed  at  my  suggestion. 

2354.  When  hie  and  ille  refer  to  two  different  persons  or  things 
named  in  the  sentence,  hie  commonly  refers  to  the  nearer  word,  ille 
to  the  remoter  word;  or  hie  sometimes  refers  to  what  is  nearer  the 
mind  of  the  speaker,  even  though  it  be  remoter  in  the  sentence. 

(a.)  Caesar  beneficiis  ac  munificentia  magnus  habebatur,  integritate

severitas  dignitatem  addiderat,  S.  C.  54,  2,  Caesar  was  esteemed  great  for 
his  liberality  and  generosity,  Cato  for  his  unsullied  life.  The  former  became

his  austerity,  (b.)  cave  Catbni  anteponas  ne  istum  quidem  ipsum  quern

laudantur,  L.  10,  suffer  not  Cato  to  find  a  rival  even  in  your  man  himself,  whom, 
as  you  say,  Apollo  declared  wisest  of  mankind ;  for  our  Cato  is  renowned  for 
deeds,  the  other  for  doctrines. 

2355.  hie  and  ille  are  used  together,  chiefly  in  poetry,  to  explain  some¬ 
thing  past  by  a  present  thing  :  as, 

hunc  ilium  poscere  fata  reor,  V.  7,  272,  this  I  think  is  he  whom  the 
fates  require,  hunc  ilium  fatis  externa  ab  sede  profectum  portendi

s5l  me  ille  admonuit  ut  brevior  essem,  DO.  3,  209,  but  on  these  topics  yon¬

2360.  Indicating  change  of  subject,  ille  is  this  other  man.  In  such  cases 
it  is  often  best  expressed  in  English  by  a  proper  name  or  a  descriptive  word. 

ad  se  adulescentem  iussit  venire,  at  ille,  ut  ingressus  est,  confes- 
tim  gladium  destrinxit,  Off.  3,  112,  he  gave  orders  to  admit  the  young  man.

waiting  for  the  river  to  go  down  :  but  the  river  flows  and  will  flow  on.

noun  is  required. 

libri  script!  inconsiderate  ab  optimis  illis  quidem  viris,  sed  non 
satis  eruditis,  TD.  I,  6,  books  rashly  written  by  men  respectable  enough  but  of

tum  ille  et  terris  iactatus  et  alto,  Y.  1,  1,  arms  and  the  man  I  sing,  from

4,  64,  he  solicits  the  king  and  begs  him  at  considerable  length  to  send  it  to  him.

berem  aetatem  incolume  mansit,  L.  1,  3,  1,  Ascanius  was  not  yet  old  enough 
for  the  throne,  but  that  throne  was  kept  safe  for  him  till  he  came  of  age.  (b.)  ego

ipse  is  often  used  with  personals  and  reflexives  agreeing 
with  the  emphatic  word.  But  the  nominative  is  usually  preferred, 
especially  when  ipse  stands  before  the  other  pronoun,  or  when  it 
stands  after  per  me,  per  se.  After  memet,  noblsmet,  nosmet,  &c.,

most  vexed  at  things  which  are  brought  about  through  fault  of  their  own. 

2378.  ipse  is  used  in  many  combinations  where  self  is  an  inadequate 
translation.  It  may  sometimes  be  translated  by:

habet  certos  sui  studiosos,  quos  valetudS  modo  bona  sit,  tenuitas 
ipsa  delectat,  Br.  64,  he  has  a-  clique  of  admirers,  who  arc  charmed  by  positive 
scragginess,  provided  the  health  be  good,  hoc  ipsum  elegantius  poni  me-

better.

Pronouns . 


[2385-2388. 


The  Interrogative  Pronoun. 

uter  and  quis. 

2385.  uter,  whether?  which?  is  used  in  questions  about  two 
tilings  ;  quis  and  qul,  who  ?  what  ?  in  questions  about  more  than  two, 
though  sometimes  loosely  of  two  things. 

uter  est  insanior  horum  ?  H.  S.  2,  3,  102,  which  of  these  is  the  greater 
crank  ?  praeclare  apud  eundem  est  Platonem,  similiter  facere  eos  qui 
inter  se  contenderent  uter  potius  rem  publicam  administraret,  ut  si 
nautae  certarent  quis  eorum  potissimum  gubernaret,  Off.  1,  87,  in  the 

same  Plato  is  the  excellent  saying  that  for  people  to  fall  out  with  one  another 
about  which  of  two  men  should  manage  a  state ,  were  just  as  .if  the  crew  of  a 
ship  should  quarrel  about  which  of  them  should  be  pilot,  ut  quem  veils,  ne- 
scias,  Alt.  16,  14,  1,  so  that  you  don't  know  which  to  choose ,  as  between 
Octavian  and  Antony. 

2386.  quis  and  quid  ask  to  have  a  thing  named  ;  qul  and  quod 
to  have  it  described.  But  see  685. 

quis  Dionem  Syracosium  doctrinis  omnibus  expolivit  ?  n5n  Plat5  ? 

DO.  3,  139,  who  refined  Syracusan  Dio  with  learning  of  every  sort?  was  it  not 
Plato?  quid  rides,  H.  S.  2,  5,  3,  why  dost  thou  laugh  ?  (1144).  quis  fuit 
igitur  ?  :  :  iste  Chaerea.  :  :  qui  Chaerea  ?  T.  Eu.  823,  who  was  he  then  ?  : : 
your  precious  Chaerea.  :  :  what  Chaerea  ?  quem  fructum  petentes  scire 
cupimus  ilia  qu5  mod5  moveantur  ?  Fin.  3,  37,  with  what  practical  end 
in  view  do  we  seek  to  know  how  you  bodies  in  the  sky  keep  in  motion  ? 


The  Relative  Pronoun. 

2387.  The  relative  pronoun  has  already  been  treated  ;  see  1792- 

1837. 


The  Indefinite  Pronoun. 

quis  or  qul ;  quispiam. 

2388.  quis  or  qui,  a,  some ,  somebody,  always  stands  after  one  or 
more  words  of  the  sentence,  quis  or  qul  is  used  after  si  (nisi,  sive), 
ne,  num,  utrum,  an,  quo,  or  quando,  in  preference  to  aliquis,  unless 
emphasis  is  intended. 

dlxerit  quis,  Off.  3,  76,  somebody  may  say.  malum  quod  tibi  dl  dabunt, 
PI.  Am.  563,  some  curse  the  gods  will  bring  upon  thee,  hi,  si  quid  erat 
durius,  concurrebant ;  si  qui  equo  deciderat,  circumsistebant,  1,  48,  6, 
if  there  was  ever  any  sharpish  work,  these  men  7uould  rally  ;  if  a  man  fell 
from  his  horse,  they  would  close  round  him.  praecipit  atque  interdicit 
unum  omnes  peterent  Indutiomarum,  neu  quis  quem  vulneret,  5,  58,  4, 
he  charges  them  and  forbids  them  ;  they  were  all  to  assail  Indutiomarus  alone  ; 
and  nobody  was  to  wound  anybody  (2402).

petum  fecerat,  hostes  velocissime  refugiebant,  5,  35,  1,  every  time  one  or 

another  cohort  charged ,  the  enemy  fled  back  quick  speed  (2394). 


aliouis. 

A 

2390.  aliquis  or  aliqui  some  one ,  some  one  or  other ,  has  always 
some  affirmative  emphasis,  and  is  opposed  to  the  idea  of  all,  much , 
none:  as, 

non  enim  declamatorem  aliquem  de  ludo,  sed  perfectissimum 
quaerimus,  O.  47 ,for  it  is  not  some  spouter  from  school  that  we  aim  to  find, 
but  the  ideal  orator,  omnes  ut  aliquam  pernicidsam  bestiam  fugiebant, 
Clu.  41,  everybody  avoided  him ,  like  some  dangerous  wild  animal  or  other. 
aude  aliquid  Gyaris  dignum  si  vis  esse  aliquid,  J.  1,  73,  venture  some 
deed  that  deserves  transportation ,  if  you  care  to  be  something  grand.  non  sine 
aliqua  spe,  D.  7,  not  without  some  hope,  quaero  sitne  aliqua  actio  an 
nulla,  Caec.  33,  I  ask  whether  there  is  some  ground  for  an  action  or  none. 
num  igitur  aliquis  dolor  post  mortem  est  ?  TD.  1,  82,  is  there,  then,  some 
sense  of  pain  after  death  ?  With  emphasis  after  si  (2388)  :  si  aliquid  de 
summa  gravitate  Pompeius,  multum  de  cupiditate  Caesar  remisisset, 
aliquam  rem  publicam  nobis  habere  licuisset,  Ph.  13,  2,  if  Pompey  had 
sacrificed  really  something  of  his  importance,  and  Caesar  a  good  deal  of  his 
ambition,  we  might  have  had  what  zoould  have  been  to  some  degree  a  common¬ 
wealth. 

2391.  aliquis  is  sometimes  equivalent  to  aliquis  alius  :  as, 

cum  M.  PIsone  et  cum  Q.  Pompeid  aut  cum  aliquo,  Br.  310,  7 vith 
Piso  or  Pompey  or  some  other  man.  ea  mihi  cottidie  aut  ture  aut  vino  aut 
aliqui  semper  supplicat,  PI.  Aul.  prol.  23,  she  ahvays  offers  me  incense  or 
7uine  or  something  else  every  day. 


quidam. 

2392.  quidam,  a,  a  certain ,  denotes  a  thing  which  we  cannot 
describe  or  do  not  care  to. 

non  inridicule  quidam  ex  militibus  decimae  legionis  dixit :  plus 
quam  pollicitus  esset,  Caesarem  facere,  1,  42,  6,  one  of  the  privates  of 
the  Tenth  said  a  very  dry  thing :  that  ‘  Caesar  zoas  doing  more  than  he  engaged 
to .’  accurrit  quidam  notus  mihi  nomine  tantum,  H.  S.  1,  9,  3,  up  trots  a 
man  I  knew  by  name  alone,  assimilis  quidam  mugitui  sonus,  Suet.  Galb. 
18,  a  mysterious  sound  like  the  lowing  of  a  ccno.  videmus  naturam  suo  quo- 
dam  itinere  ad  ultimum  pervenire,  JDN.  2,  35,  nature  reaches  perfection  by 
a  kind  of  road  of  her  oivu.  Often  in  translations  from  Greek  :  as,  aliis 
libris  rationem  quandam  per  omnem  naturam  rerum  pertinentem  vi 
divina  esse  adfectam  putat,  DN.  1,  36,  in  other  7uorks  he  supposes  ‘  a  kind 
of  Reason  pervading  all  nature  and  endowed  with  divine  poioer,  of  Zeno’s 
doctrine.

Pronouns . 


[2393-2397- 


2393.  quidam  is  often  used  to  soften  an  exaggeration  or  a  meta¬ 
phor,  sometimes  to  denote  contempt. 

eloquentissimos  homines  innumerabilis  quosdam  nominabat,  DO. 

1,  9 1 ,  great  speakers  he  named,  absolutely  without  number,  ad  omnls  enim 
meos  impetus  quasi  murus  quidam  boni  nomen  imperatoris  opponitur, 
V.  5,  2,  for  against  all  assaults  of  mine  the  name  of  a  good  commander  is  set 
up,  like  a  regular  wall,  sed  aliud  quoddam  fllum  drationis  tuae,  L.  25, 
but  there  is  quite  a  different  fibre  to  your  speech,  non  est  eorum  urbanitate 
quadam  quasi  colorata  oratio,  Br.  170,  their  language  lacks  the  tinge  of  an 
indefinable  metropolitan  element.  Theomnastus  quidam,  homo  ridicule 
Insanus,  V.  4,  148,  a  person  of  the  name  of  Theomnastus ,  an  absurd ,  crack- 
brained  creature. 


quisque. 

2394.  quisque,  each ,  each  in  particular ,  each  by  himself ,  applies 
what  is  stated  of  all  to  each  several  case,  out  of  a  number  more  than 
two. 

laudatl  prd  contione  omnes  sunt,  donatlque  pro  merits  quisque, 

L.  38,  23,  11,  they  were  collectively  commended  in  assembly  convened,  and  re¬ 
ceived  presents,  each  in  proportion  to  his  deserts,  quotiens  quaeque  cohors 
prScurrerat,  magnus  numerus  hostium  cadebat,  5,  34,  2,  as  the  cohorts  suc¬ 
cessively  charged,  a  great  number  of  the  enemy  fell  every  time  (2389).  mens 
cuiusque,  is  est  quisque,  n5n  ea  figura  quae  digits  demonstrarl  potest, 
RP.  6,  26,  the  mind  of  a  man  is  ahvays  the  man,  and  not  that  shape  which  can 
be  pointed  out  by  the  finger. 

2395.  quisque  is  sometimes  used  in  a  relative  and  demonstrative  sen¬ 
tence  both. 

quod  cuique  obtigit,  id  quisque  teneat,  Off.  1,  21,  let  every  man  keep 
what  he  has  got.  id  enim  est  cuiusque  proprium,  quS  quisque  fruitur 

atque  utitur,  Fam.  7,  30,  2,  for  that  is  always  a  man's  property  which  he  has 
the  enjoyment  and  use  of. 

2396.  In  a  complex  sentence,  consisting  of  a  main  and  a  relative 
sentence,  quisque  is  usually  expressed  but  once,  and  then  in  the  un- 
emphatic  relative  sentence.  In  English,  the  equivalent  of  quisque 
goes  with  the  main  sentence. 

nemo  fuit  qul  n5n  surrexerit,  telumque  quod  cuique  fors  offerebat, 
adripuerit,  V.  4,  95,  not  a  man  but  sprang  from  his  bed,  and  seized  in  every 
instance  such  a  weapon  as  chance  threw  in  his  way.  theatrum  cum  com¬ 
mune  sit,  recte  tamen  dlcl  potest,  eius  esse  eum  locum,  quern  quisque 
occuparit,  Fin.  3,  67,  though  the  theatre  is  open  to  all,  still  it  may  be  said  with 
perfect  propriety,  that  each  spectator  is  entitled  to  the  seat  he  has  taken.  Mes- 
sanam  ut  quisque  nostrum  venerat,  haec  vlsere  solebat,  V.  4,  5,  any 
Roman,  who  went  to  Messana,  invariably  went  to  see  these  statues  (1939). 
eorum  ut  quisque  primus  venerat,  sub  mur5  cSnsistebat,  7, 48,  2,  as  they 
successively  arrived,  each  man  of  them  took  his  stand  under  the  wall. 

2397.  quisque  is  often  used  with  se  or  suus,  superlatives,  and  or¬ 
dinals,  holding  an  unemphatic  place  after  these  words:  as, 

14*  425 


239S-240I.] 


Appendix  (C.) 


ipse  se  quisque  diligit,  L.  80,  a  man  always  loves  his  own  self,  suos 
quoique  mos,  T.  Ph.  454,  every  man  his  own  way.  huic  pro  se  quisque 
nostrum  mederi  velle  debemus,  L.  Agr.  1,  26,  this  evil  we  ought  to  wish 
to  remedy ,  according  to  our  several  abilities,  optimum  quidque  rarissimum 
est,  Fin.  2,  81,  ever  the  fairest  is  the  rarest,  nam  in  ford  vix  decumus 
quisquest,  qui  ipsus  sese  noverit,  PI.  Ps.  973,  for  in  the  marketplace  there’s 
scarce  o)ie  man  in  every  ten  that  knows  himself,  quinto  quoque  anno  Sicilia 
tota  censetur,  V.  2,  139,  at  the  end  of  every  four  years  all  Sicily  is  assessed. 
quamquam  primum  quidque  explicemus,  Fain.  12,  1,  1,  but  stay  — let  me 
explain  things  successively  ;  or,  one  thing  after  another,  litteras  misit,  ut  is 
anulus  ad  se  primo  qudque  tempore  adferretur,  V.  4,  58,  he  sent  a  letter 
directing  said  ring  to  be  sent  to  him  without  delay. 

2398.  In  old  Latin  quisque  is  sometimes  equivalent  to  quicumque  or 
quisquis,  whoever :  as,  quisque  obviam  huic  occesserit  iratd,  vapulabit, 
PI.  As.  404,  whoever  meets  him  in  his  wrath  will  catch  it.  In  cuiusque  ge¬ 
neris  and  cuiusque  modi,  it  means  any  and  every  :  as,  tot  homines  cuius¬ 
que  modi,  V.  4,  7,  so  many  people  of  every  sort ,  i.  e.  cuicuimodi.  quisquis 
for  quisque  is  sometimes  found  in  old  Latin,  in  Cicero  rarely  :  as,  cum 
processit  paulum  et  quatenus  quicquid  se  attingat  perspicere  coepit, 
Fin.  5,  24,  when  it  has  progressed  a  little  and  has  begun  to  discover  how  far 
each  thing  affects  it. 


uterque. 

2399.  uterque,  each ,  is  used  of  two  individuals,  and  utrlque  of 
two  sets  or  parties.  But  sometimes  utrlque  is  used  of  two  individuals. 

(«.)  ut  ilia  natura  caelestis  et  terra  vacat  et  umore,  sic  utriusque 
harum  rerum  humanus  animus  est  expers,  TD.  1,  65,  even  as  the  heavenly 
nature  is  free  from  the  earthy  and  the  humid ,  so  the  soul  of  man  has  no  part  in 
either  of  these  qualities  (1243).  nutu  tremefactus  uterque  est  polus,  O.  F. 
2,  489,  at  his  nod  trembled  each  pole  (1243).  Aetdliorum  utraeque  manus 
Heracleam  sese  incluserunt,  L.  36,  16,  5,  both  bands  of  the  Aetolians  shut 
themselves  up  in  Heraclea.  (b.)  sex  filii  nobis,  duae  filiae  sunt,  utraeque 
iam  nuptae,  L.  42,  34,  4,  we  have  six  sons  and  two  daughters,  both  already 
married. 

2400.  Reciprocal  relations  (2344)  are  sometimes  expressed  by  uterque 
followed  by  a  different  case  of  alter;  rarely  by  uterque  and  a  different  case 
of  the  same  word. 

(a.)  quorum  uterque  contempsit  alterum,  Off.  1,  4,  each  of  whom 
lightly  esteemed  the  other,  (b.)  abduci  non  potest :  :  qui  non  potest  ?  :  : 
quia  uterque  utriquest  cordi,  T.  Ph.  799,  she’s  not  to  be  taken  from  him  : : 
why  is  n't  she  ?  :  :  because  they  ’ re  heart  to  heart.  This  doubling  of  uterque 
is  found  only  half  a  dozen  times ;  not  in  Cicero. 


quivis  and  quilibet ;  utervls  and  uterlibet. 

2401.  quivis  and  quilibet,  any  you  please ,  are  used  either  in 
affirmative  or  negative  sentences.  When  two  are  spoken  of,  utervls 
or  uterlibet  is  used.

quisquam  and  ullus. 

2402.  quisquam  (692),  a  single  one,  any  one  at  all ,  and  ullus,  a 
bit  of  a ,  any  at  all ,  any,  are  used  chiefly  in  negative,  interrogative, 
conditional,  and  comparative  sentences,  or  with  sine. 

veni  Athenas,  neque  me  quisquam  ibf  adgnovit,  TD.  5,  104, 1  came  to 
Athens  and  not  a  person  there  knew  me  (1659).  interdicit  omnibus,  ne 
quemquam  interficiant,  7,  40,  4,  he  wants  them  collectively  against  killing

in  any  Scythia?  si  quisquam  est  timidus,  is  ego  sum,  Fam.  6,  14,  1,  if 
anybody  is  timid,  1  am  the  man.  qui  saepius  cum  hoste  conflixit  quam 
quisquam  cum  inimicd  concertavit,  IP.  28,  who  has  measured  swords 
oftener  with  the  enemy  than  anybody  ever  wrangled  with  an  opponent  in  private 
life,  sine  ullo  metu  in  ipsum  portum  penetrare  coeperunt,  V.  5,  96, 
without  a  bit  of  fear  they  began  to  make  their  way  right  into  the  harbour. 
nemo  quisquam  and  nihil  quicquam  are  old  and  late  :  as,  lepidiorem  uxo- 
rem  nemo  quisquam  habet,  PI.  Cas.  100S,  nobody  has  a  jollier  wife,  nos- 
ter  mail  nil  quicquam  prlmd,  T.  Ph.  So,  our  young  master  did  n't  make  any 
trouble  at  first. 

2403.  nemo  is  generally  used  for  non  quisquam,  nemo  umquam 
for  numquam  quisquam,  nihil  for  non  quicquam,  and  n ullus  for 
non  ullus.  If  only  two  are  spoken  of,  neuter  is  used.  The  plural 
neutrl  is  used  of  two  parties. 

nemost  miserior  me,  T.  Hau.  263,  no  man 's  unhappier  than  I.  nemo 
igitur  vir  magnus  sine  aliquo  adflatu  dlvlnd  umquam  fuit,  DN.  2,  167,

Appendix  (D.) 


Notation. 

2406.  Numbers  are  noted  by  combinations  of  the  characters 
!  =  1 ;  V  =  5  ;  X  =  10 ;  4,,  later  vL,  -L,  or  L  =  50 ;  C  =  100  ;  D  =  500; 
CO  or  00,  post-Augustan  M  =  1000. 

2407.  Of  these  signs,  V  seems  to  be  the  half  of  X,  which  may  be  Etrus¬ 
can  in  origin.  The  original  signs  for  50  and  1000  were  taken  from  the 
Chalcidian  alphabet  of  Cumae  (17),  in  which  they  represented  sounds  un¬ 
known  to  early  Latin.  Thus,  4^  in  the  Chalcidian  alphabet  representing 
ch  (49),  was  used  by  the  early  Romans  for  50,  and  became  successively  cb, 
-L,  and  L.  The  form  is  found  very  rarely,  vb  oftener,  in  the  Augustan 
period ;  _L  is  common  during  the  last  century  of  the  republic  and  in  the 
early  empire  ;  L,  due  to  assimilation  with  the  Roman  letter,  appears  in  the 
last  century  of  the  republic.  The  sign  for  1000  was  originally  CD  (Chalcidian 
pb);  it  became  CO  (the  common  classical  form),  co,  or  |x|  ;  the  form  M  as 
a  numeral  appears  in  the  second  century  a.  d.,  although  M  is  found  much 
earlier  as  an  abbreviation  for  millia  in  M  *  P,  that  is  millia  passuum. 
For  100,  the  sign  @  (Chalcidian  th)  may  have  been  used  originally  ;  but  C 
(the  abbreviation  for  centum)  came  into  use  at  an  early  period.  The  sign 
D,  =  500,  is  the  half  of  CD. 

2408.  To  denote  10,000  the  sign  for  1000  was  doubled  :  thus,  ((£)),  written 

also  (4),  Another  circle  was  added  to  denote  100,000 :  thus, 

written  also  (t),  The  halves  of  these  signs  were  used  for  5000  and 

50,000:  thus,  p)  and  [| ;  variations  of  these  last  two  signs  are  found,  cor¬ 
responding  to  the  variations  of  the  signs  of  which  they  are  the  halves. 

2409.  From  the  last  century  of  the  republic  on,  thousands  are  sometimes 
indicated  by  a  line  drawn  above  a  numeral,  and  hundreds  of  thousands  by 
three  lines  enclosing  a  numeral:  as,  V  =  5ooo;  pT]  =  1,000,000. 

2410.  To  distinguish  _numerals  from  ordinary  letters,  a  line  is  often 
drawn  above  them  :  as,  VI  =6.  This  practice  is  common  in  the  Augustan 
period;  earlier,  a  line  is  sometimes  drawn  across  the  numeral,  as, -H- —2  ; 
B  =  500. 

2411.  Of  the  two  methods  of  writing  the  symbols  for  4,  9,  14,  19,  &c.,  the 
method  by  subtraction  (IV,  IX,  XIV,  XIX,  &c.)  is  rarer,  and  is  characteristic 
of  private,  not  public  inscriptions. 


Some  Forms  of  Numerals. 

2412.  quinctus,  the  older  form  of  quintus  (135)  is  sometimes  found  in 
old  and  even  in  classical  writers.  Instead  of  Septimus  and  decimus,  the 
older  septumus  and  decumus  are  not  uncommon  (78). 

2413.  In  the  ordinals  from  twentieth  upwards,  the  older  forms  vicensu- 
mus  or  vicensimus,  trlcensumus  or  tricensimus,  &c.,  & c.,  are  not  infre¬ 
quently  found  instead  of  vicesimus,  trlcesimus,  &c.,  &c.  (131,  78). 

2414.  In  the  numeral  adverbs  from  qulnquiens  upwards,  later  forms  in 
-ies  (131)  are  often  found  :  as,  quinquies,  decies,  &c.,  &c.

Numerals. 


[2415-2420. 


2415.  In  cardinals  and  ordinals  from  thirteen  to  seventeen  inclusive,  the 
larger  number  sometimes  comes  first,  and  in  cardinals  et  is  sometimes  used, 
though  rarely  in  Cicero. 

decern  tres,  L.  37,  30,  7,  thirteen,  fundos  decern  et  tres  reliquit,  RA. 

20,  he  left  thirteen  farms.  Rarely  the  smaller  number  comes  first  with  et : 
as,  de  tribus  et  decern  fundis,  RA.  99,  of  the  thirteen  farms. 

2416.  Numbers  from  18  to  99  inclusive  which  end  in  8  or  9  are  usually  expressed 
by  subtraction,  as  in  the  list  (2405);  less  frequently  (not  in  Cicero,  rarely  in  classical 
writers)  by  addition  :  as,  decern  et  oct5,  4,  19,  4  ;  decern  novem,  Ta.  H.  2,  58. 

2417.  In  compound  numbers  from  twenty-one  to  ninety-seven  inclusive, 
except  those  which  end  in  eight  or  nine  (2416),  the  smaller  number  with  et 
usually  comes  first  or  the  larger  number  without  et,as  in  the  list.  But  rarely 
the  larger  number  comes  first  with  et :  as,  viginti  et  septem,  V.  4,  123, 
twenty  and  seven. 

2418.  In  numbers  from  a  hundred  and  one  upwards,  the  larger  number 
comes  first,  either  with  or  without  et ;  but  with  distributives  et  is  not  used. 
With  cardinals  and  ordinals  the  smaller  number  sometimes  comes  first  with 
et ;  as,  iis  regiis  quadraginta  annis  et  ducentis  praeteritis,  RP.  2,  52, 
after  these  two  hundred  and  forty  years  of  monarchy  were  ended. 


SOME  USES  OF  NUMERALS. 

Cardinals  and  Ordinals. 

2419.  Dates  are  expressed  either  by  cardinals  with  a  plural  sub¬ 
stantive  or  by  ordinals  with  a  singular  substantive  :  as, 

dictator  factus  est  annis  post  Romam  conditam  ccccxv,  Fatn.  9,  21, 
2,  he  was  made  dictator  415  U.  C.  (1393).  anno  trecentesimS  quinqua- 
gesimd  post  Romam  conditam,  Nonis  Iunis,  RP.  1,  25,  on  the  $th  of  June, 
350  U.  C.  (1350).  The  ordinal  is  also  used  with  a  substantive  not  used  in 
the  singular  :  as,  mancipia  venibant  Saturnalibus  tertiis,  Att.  5,  20,  5,  the 
slaves  were  sold  on  the  third  day  of  the  Saturnalia.  As  the  Romans,  however, 
had  no  fixed  official  era,  they  had  no  dates  in  the  modern  sense,  and  marked 
the  year  by  the  names  of  the  consuls. 


Distributives. 

2420.  Distributives  are  used  to  denote  an  equal  division  among 
several  persons  or  things,  and  in  expressions  of  multiplication  :  as, 

bini  senatores  singulis  cohortibus  praepositi,  L.  3,  69,  8,  two  senators 
were  put  over  every  cohort:  sometimes  when  singuli  is  added,  the  cardinal  is 
used,  thus:  singulis  censoribus  denarii  trecenti  imperati  sunt,  V.  2, 
137,  every  censor  was  assessed  300  denars,  bis  bina,  DN.  2,  49,  twice  two. 
Poets  use  multiplication  freely,  partly  for  variety,  but  mainly  from  metrical 
necessity. 


431 


2421-2428.] 


Appendix  (D.) 


2421.  Distributives  are  also  used  with  substantives  which  have  no  singu¬ 
lar,  or  which  have  a  different  meaning  in  the  singular ;  but  in  this  use  one  is 
always  uni,  not  singuli,  and  three  trini,  not  term  :  as, 

ut  una  castra  iam  facta  ex  binis  viderentur,  Caes.  C.  1,  74,  4,  so  that 

one  camp  seezned  now  to  have  been  forzned  out  of  two.  trinis  catenis  vinctus, 
1 ,  53,  5,  in  triple  irons.  Similarly  with  things  in  pairs,  as:  boves  bini,  PI. 
Fers.  317,  a  yoke  of  oxen. 

2422.  Poets  sometimes  use  the  singular  of  distributives  :  as,  centenaque  ar- 
bore  fluctum  verberat,  V.  10,  207,  and  with  a  hundred  beams  at  every  stroke 
the  wave  he  smites,  duplici  natura  et  corpore  bind,  Lucr.  5,  879,  twynatured 
and  of  body  tzvain.  The  plural  is  sometimes  used  in  verse  for  the  cardinal :  cen¬ 
tum  bracchia  .  .  .  centenasque  manus,  V.  10,  565,  a  hundred  arms  .  .  . 
and  hundred  hands. 


Other  Numerals. 

2423.  Other  numerical  adjectives  are  multiplicatives ,  ending  in  -plex ;  they  are: 
simplex,  onefold ,  simple,  sescuplex,  one  and  a  half  fold ,  duplex,  triplex, 
quadruplex,  qulncuplex,  septemplex,  decemplex,  centuplex;  and  pro¬ 
portionals,  used  mostly  in  the  neuter  as  substantives :  duplus,  twice  as  great , 
triplus,  three  times  as  great,  quadruplus,  septuplus,  octuplus.  Besides 
these  there  are  other  adjectives  derived  from  numerals :  as,  primanus,  soldier  of 
the  first :  primarius,  first  rate:  bimus,  iwinter,  two-year-old ;  &c.,  &c. 


Expression  of  Fractions. 

2424.  One  half  may  be  expressed  by  dimidium  or  dimidia  pars; 
other  fractions  with  1  as  a  numerator  by  ordinals,  with  or  without 
pars  :  as,  tertia  pars  or  tertia, 

2425.  If  the  numerator  is  greater  than  1  it  is  usually  expressed  by 
the  cardinal  feminine,  with  the  ordinal  feminine  for  the  denominator: 
as,  duae  septimae,  f-.  But  besides  these  forms  there  are  others, 
namely  : 

2426.  (1.)  Fractions  with  a  numerator  less  by  1  than  the  denominator, 
except  may  be  expressed  by  cardinals  with  partes,  as,  duae  partes,  f ; 
tres  partes,  f ;  quattuor  partes,  f. 

2427.  (2.)  Fractions  with  12  or  its  multiples  as  a  denominator  are  ex¬ 
pressed  in  business  language  by  the  parts  of  an  as :  thus, 


1 

1  2  >

son  heir  to  f,  her  granddaughter  to  f  heredem  ex  dddrante,  N.  25,  5,  2,  heir 
to  l 

2428.  Sometimes  fractions  are  expressed  by  addition:  as,  dimidia  et  quarta, 
pars  tertia  et  septima,  hi ;  sometimes  by  division  of  the  denominator:  as, 
dimidia  quinta,  TV

Rules  of  Quantity.  [2429-2434. 


(E.)  PROSODY. 

I.  RULES  OF  QUANTITY. 

(A.)  In  Classical  Latin. 

2429.  The  length  of  the  vowel  in  some  classes  of  syllables,  as 
used  in  the  classical  period,  may  be  conveniently  fixed  in  the  memory 
by  the  following  rules.  For  the  usage  of  older  writers,  see  57-68  and 
2464-2472.  For  the  general  principles  of  length  of  vowels  and  syl¬ 
lables,  see  156-169. 


Monosyllables. 

2430.  Monosyllables  ending  in  a  vowel  or  a  single 
consonant  have  the  vowel  long :  as, 

dos,  sol;  a  for  ab  ;  e  for  ex  or  ec-,  pes  for  *peds  ;  ablative  qua,  qul; 
quin  for  *quine  ;  locative  sei,  commonly  si  ;  sic  (708)  ;  dative  and  ablative  plural 
quis  (688).  ^ 

Exceptions. 

2431.  The  vowel  is  short  in: 

2432.  (a.)  Monosyllables  ending  in  b,  d,  m,  and  t :  as,  ab,  ad,  dum,  dat. 

2433.  ( b .)  The  indefinite  qua,  N.  and  Ac.;  the  enclitics  -que  (rarely  -que), 
-ne,  -ve,  -ce;  and  in  the  words  cor,  fel,  mel;  os,  bone ;  ac,vir,  is,  pol,  quis 
(N.) ;  fac,  fer,  per,  ter;  an,  bis,  in,  cis ;  nec,  vel.  N.  hie  is  rarely  short 
(664).  For  es  or  es,  see  747. 


Polysyllables. 

Penults. 

2434.  Disyllabic  perfects  and  perfect  participles  have 
the  vowel  of  the  penult  long  when  it  stands  before  a 
single  consonant:  as, 

veni,  vidi,  vici  (862) ;  f5vi  (864),  fotus  (917). 

433 


2435_244°*]  Appendix  (E.) :  Prosody . 


Exceptions. 

2435.  («.)  Nine  perfects  have  the  penult  short  (859-861)  : 

bibl,  -fidl  dedi,  scidi  steti,  stitl  tuli,  -tudi,  per-cull. 

2436.  (J>.)  Ten  perfect  participles  have  the  penult  short  (918  ;  see 
also  919)  : 

citus,  datus  itum,  ratus  -rutus,  satus  situs,  status  litus,  quitus. 


Final  Syllables. 

(1.)  Ending  in  a  Vowel. 

2437.  In  words  of  more  than  one  syllable,  final  a 
and  e  are  short ;  final  o,  u,  and  i,  are  long :  as, 

(a.)  N.  aquila;  PI.  N.  and  Ac.  oppida,  cetera,  omnia  (65,  57). 

(b.)  N.  ille  ;  N.  and  Ac.  rete  ;  impune  (701);  V.  bone;  Ab.  tempore 
(65,57);  Inf.  promere  (65,57);  Imperat.  rege  (826);  Pres.  lnd.  and  Imperat. 
querere  ;  Perf.  rexere. 

(c.)  N.  sermo  ;  D.  and  Ab.  verbo  ;  verb  (704).  i5.  rego,  ero,  amabo, 
rexero  (826) ;  esto.

2441.  ( b .)  Final  e  is  long  in  the  endings  of  some  Greek  nouns  :  as,  N.  crambe, 
Circe;  V.  Alcide;  Ne.  PI.  N.  and  Ac.  cete,  mele,  pelage,  tempe. 

Exceptions  in  o. 

2442.  (a.)  Final  o  is  short  in  the  nominatives  ego,  duo,  and  homo,  o  is 
sometimes  shortened  in  the  nominative  of  stems  in  -n-  (484,  485)  :  as,  mentio, 
Naso,  virgo.  o  is  regularly  short  in  endo,  in  the  ablatives  cito  and  modo, 
used  as  adverbs,  and  in  many  other  words  in  late  poetry :  as,  ilico,  immo,  ergo, 
quando,  octo,  &c. ;  very  rarely  in  the  ablative  of  the  gerund. 

2443.  (b.)  Before  Ovid,  o  of  the  present  indicative  is  regularly  long  (61).  It  is 
shortened  only  in  the  following  words  :  in 

volo,  six  times  (Cat.,  4  times  ;  Hor.,  Prop.). 

scio,  twice  (Verg.). 

nescio,  six  times  (Verg.,  twice  ;  Hor.,  twice  ;  Tib.,  Prop.) ; 

and  once  each  in  eo  and  veto  (Hor.),  desino  (Tib.),  and  findo  (Prop.).  From 
Ovid  on,  short  o  is  not  uncommon. 

Short  o  in  other  forms  of  the  verb  is  rare  :  as,  dixero  (Hor.) ;  esto,  ero,  dabo 
(Ov.) ;  but  o  is  always  short  in  the  imperative  cedo ,give,  tell.

2444.  Final  u  is  short  in  indu  and  noenu. 

Exceptions  in  i.

MinSidi;  PI.  D.  Troasi. 

2446.  (A)  Final  i  is  common  in  mihl,  tibi,  sib! ;  ibf ,  ub!  (60). 

(2.)  Ending  in  a  Single  Consonant  not  s. 

24470  A  final  syllable  ending  in  a  single  consonant 
not  s  has  its  vowel  short :  as, 

donee,  illud.  animal  ( 536) ;  semel.  agmen.  calcar  (537)  ;  soror, 
stultior  (66,  57).  moror,  loquar,  fatebor  (68,  57);  regitur,  regimur,  re- 
guntur.  regit  (S26) ;  amat,  sciat,  pbnebat ;  tinnit,  possit ;  iacet,  neget, 
esset  (68,  57). 


Exceptions. 

2448.  (a.)  The  last  vowel  is  long  in  allec,  and  in  compounds  of  par  ;  in  the 
contracted  genitive  plural  of  stems  in  -u- :  as  currum  ;  in  all  cases  of  illic  and 
istic  except  the  nominative  masculine,  in  the  adverbs  illuc  and  istuc,  and  some¬

(Hor.),  stem  palud- ;  in  the  genitive  singular  and  nominative  and  accusative 
plural  of  nouns  with  stems  in  -u-:  as,  fructus;  and  in  the  ending  of  some

N.  Ilias;  PI.  Ac.  crateras. 


Exceptions  in  es. 

2456.  Final  es  has  short  e  in  the  nominative  singular  of  stems  in  -d-  and  -t- 
which  have  the  genitive  in  -idis,  -itis,  and  -etis  (475,  476) :  as,  praeses,  teges, 
comes  (but  e  in  abies,  aries,  and  paries),  also,  in  penes,  in  compounds  of  es, 
thou  art,  and  in  the  endings  of  some  Greek  nouns  :  as,  N.  Cynosarges  ;  PI.  N. 
Arcades,  crateres. 

Exceptions  in  os. 

2457.  Final  os  has  short  o  in  the  nominative  of  stems  in  -o-:  as,  servos, 
suos,  Delos;  also  in  compos,  impos,  and  exos ;  and  in  the  endings  of  some 
Greek  nouns:  as,  N.  and  Ac.  epos;  G.  chlamydos,  Erinyos.

Position. 

2458.  For  the  general  rule  of  position,  see  168,  169;  but,  except 
in  the  thesis  of  a  foot,  a  final  syllable  ending  with  a  short  vowel  gener¬ 
ally  remains  short  before  a  word  beginning  with  two  consonants  or  a 
double  consonant :  as,  mollia  strata,  nemorosa  Zacynthos,  luce 
smaragdi. 

In  Horace  such  a  final  syllable  is  never  lengthened  before  a  word  beginning  with 
two  consonants. 


Hidden  Quantity. 

2459.  A  vowel  which  stands  before  two  consonants,  or  a 
double  consonant,  belonging  to  the  same  word,  so  that  its 
natural  quantity  cannot  be  determined  from  the  scansion  of  the 
word,  is  said  to  possess  Hidden  Quantity. 

2460.  The  natural  quantity  of  such  a  vowel  may  sometimes  be  ascer¬ 
tained  :  (a.)  from  the  statements  of  ancient  writers;  (b.)  from  the  way  in 
which  the  vowel  is  written  in  Latin  inscriptions  (see  28-30);  (c.)  from  the 
transliteration  of  the  word  into  other  languages,  especially  Greek;  (d.)  from 
the  etymology  of  the  word,  or  from  a  comparison  of  it  with  kindred  words  in 
other  Indo-European  languages  ;  ( e .)  from  comparison  with  derived  words 
in  the  Romance  languages.  But  all  these  kinds  of  evidence  must  be  used 
with  great  caution. 

2461.  For  the  length  of  a  vowel  before  ns,  nf,  consonantal  i,  and  often 
before  gn,  see  167. 

2462.  In  inceptive  verbs  (834)  the  ending  -sco  is  thought  to  be  always 
preceded  by  a  long  vowel :  as,  crescd,  nascor,  proficiscor. 

2463.  In  the  perfect  indicative  active,  perfect  participle  passive  and 
kindred  formations  of  verbs  in  -g5  preceded  by  a  short  vowel,  as  ag5,  rego, 
the  theme  syllable  shows  a  long  vowel :  as,  lexi,  rexi,  texi ;  actus,  lectus; 
rector ;  actito. 

(B.)  Some  Peculiarities  of  Quantity  in  Old  Latin. 

2464.  For  the  preservation  of  a  long  vowel  in  certain  specific  endings  in 
old  Latin,  see  64-68. 

2465.  Final  -al  is  sometimes  preserved  long  in  the  nominative  singular; 
as,  bacchanal  (Plaut.) ;  also  -es  in  the  nominative  singular  of  stems  in  -t- 
which  have  the  genitive  in  -itis  (477)  :  as  miles  (Plaut.). 

2466.  Hie,  illic  and  istic,  when  adverbs,  have  a  long  final  syllable  ;  but 
when  nominative  singular  masculine,  have  the  final  syllable  regularly  short. 

2467.  In  Plautus  frustra  always  (six  times)  has  the  final  syllable  short, 
contra  sometimes  has  a  short  final  syllable  in  old  Latin. 

437 


2468-247^-]  Appendix  (E.) :  Prosody. 


2468.  In  Latin  poetry  clown  to  the  time  of  Cicero,  final  s  often  does  not 
“make  position”  before  a  following  consonant  (47);  as,  tempus  fert 
(Plaut.)  ;  magis  stetisse  (Ter.). 

2469.  The  first  syllable  of  ille,  illic  (the  pronoun),  quippe,  immo,  inde, 
unde,  nempe,  omnis,  and  perhaps  iste,  is  sometimes  shortened. 

In  ille,  illic,  quippe  and  immd  the  shortening  is  probably  due  to  the  fact  that 
in  common  speech  one  of  the  double  consonants  was  often  pronounced  faintly  or  not 
at  all  (48) ;  while  in  inde,  unde,  nempe,  and  omnis  the  nasal  was  very  faintly 
sounded  before  the  following  consonant.  But  some  authorities  hold  that  always  in 
nempe,  and  sometimes  in  ille,  quippe,  inde,  unde,  and  perhaps  iste,  before 
an  initial  consonant  final  e  disappears  (see  96),  and  the  word  becomes  a  monosyllable. 


Law  of  Iambic  Shortening. 

2470.  A  long  syllable,  preceded  by  a  short  monosyllable  or  by  a  short 
initial  syllable,  and  immediately  preceded  or  followed  by  the  verse-ictus,  may 
be  shortened  :  as,  et  hunc,  domo  me,  ad  uxorem,  voluntate. 

The  short  monosyllable  may  be  a  word  which  has  become  monosyllabic  by  elision : 

as,  eg(o)  hanc. 

2471.  If  the  syllable  to  be  shortened  is  the  first  of  a  word  of  more  than 
one  syllable,  or  the  second  of  a  polysyllable,  it  must  be  one  which  is  long  by 
position,  not  by  nature.  There  are  some  possible  exceptions  to  this  rule, 
such  as  vergbamini  (T.  Ph.  902) ;  but  these  are  few  and  doubtful. 

2472.  Iambic  shortening  took  place  not  only  in  verse,  but  also  to  a  con¬ 
siderable  extent  in  common  speech,  particularly  in  iambic  words  (see  61),  in 
which  the  accent  cooperated  with  the  verse-ictus  to  produce  the  shortening.

Hiatus. 

2473.  For  hiatus  within  a  word,  and  the  means  by  which  it  is  avoided, 
see  97-101. 

2474.  Hiatus  between  two  words  is  much  more  common  in  old 
Latin  than  in  writers  of  the  classical  period.  The  precise  extent  to 
which  it  is  allowed  by  the  early  dramatists  is  matter  of  dispute.  The 
following  cases  may  be  mentioned  in  which  the  Latin  poets  admit 
hiatus  : 

2475.  (1.)  After  interjections:  as,  hahahae  homo,  T.  Ph.  411;  0  et 
praesidium,  H.  1,  1,  2. 

2476.  (2.)  After  proper  names,  and  words  of  Greek  origin  :  as,  ancillam 
ferre  Venerl  aut  Cupidinl,  PI.  As.  804;  Threicio  Aquilone,  H .  Epod.

[2477-2492. 


2477.  (3.)  I11  the  principal  caesura  of  a  verse.  So  especially  in  Plautus 
and  Terence  after  the  fourth  foot  of  the  iambic  septenarius,  and  in  Plautus 
in  the  principal  break  in  the  iambic  octonarius,  trochaic  septenarius  and 
trochaic  octonarius. 

2478.  (4.)  Often  in  the  dramatists  where  there  is  a  change  of  speakers: 
as,  qui  potuit  videre  ?  :  :  oculis  :  :  quo  pact5  ?  :  :  hiantibus,  l’l.  Merc.  182. 

2479.  (5.)  Probably  sometimes  in  cases  of  repetition,  enumeration,  or 
sharp  antithesis,  and  where  there  is  an  important  pause  in  the  sense:  as, 
earn  volt  meretricem  facere  :  ea  me  deperit,  PL  Cur.  46;  si  pereo, 
hominum  manibus  periisse  iuvabit,  V.  3,  606. 

2480.  Vergil  sometimes  admits  hiatus  when  the  final  syllable  ending  in  a  vowel  is 
preceded  or  followed  (or  both)  by  two  short  syllables:  as,  lamentis  gemituque 
et  femineo  ululatu,  V.  4,  667. 


Elision. 

2481.  For  elision  within  a  word,  see  102. 

2482.  In  verse  a  final  vowel  is  generally  elided  before  a 
vowel  or  h  :  as, 

quidve  moror,  s(I)  omnls  un(o)  5rdin(e)  habetis  Achivos,  V.  2,  102. 
Such  a  vowel  was  probably  faintly  sounded,  not  dropped  altogether. 

2483.  Elision  is  frequent  in  most  of  the  early  poets;  but  writers  of  the  Augus¬ 
tan  and  succeeding  ages  regarded  it  with  increasing  disfavour.  The  elision  of  a  long 
vowel. before  a  short  was  in  general  avoided;  but  there  are  numerous  exceptions. 

2484.  Monosyllabic  interjections  do  not  suffer  elision. 

2485.  Monosyllables  ending  in  a  diphthong  seldom  suffer  elision  before  a  short 
vowel. 

2486.  Diphthongs  arising  from  Synizesis  (2499)  are  sometimes  elided  in  early 
Latin  verse,  but  not  in  verse  of  the  classical  period. 

2487.  The  monosyllables  qui  (plural),  do,  sto,  re,  spe,  are  thought  never  to 
suffer  elision  before  a  short  vowel. 

2488.  The  dactylic  poets  very  rarely  admit  elision  in  an  iambic  (w  _ )  or  Cretic 

( _  \j  _ )  word  before  a  short  vowel. 

2489.  Elision  seldom  occurs  if  the  syllable  to  be  elided  is  immediately  preceded 
by  a  vowel :  as  in  de(um)  et. 

2490.  The  final  syllable  of  a  Greek  word  is  rarely  elided. 

2491.  Elision  is  more  common  toward  the  beginning  of  a  verse  than  toward  the 

end. 

2492.  Elision  rarely  occurs  in  the  first  syllable  or  last  syllable  of  a  verse  ;  but  see 

under  Synapheia  (2510),  and  for  the  elision  of  the  enclitic  -que  or  -ve  at  the  end 
of  a  dactylic  hexameter,  see  2568.  t

2493-25OI‘]  Appendix  ( E. ) :  Prosody . 


2493.  Ecthlipsis  (Gr.  Hk6\l^9  a  squeezing  out).  Final  m 
and  a  preceding  short  vowel  are  usually  elided  before  a  vowel  or 
h  :  as, 

monstr(um)  horrend(um)  inform(e)  ingens,  cui  lumen  ademptum, 

V.  3,  658. 

In  such  cases  the  ending  was  probably  not  cut  off  altogether,  but  was 
given  a  faint  nasal  sound. 

2494.  Sometimes  a  monosyllable  ending  in  a  short  vowel  and  m  is  not 
elided  before  a  vowel:  as  quam  ego  (Ter.)  ;  sunt  cum  od5re  (Lucr.). 

Such  unelided  monosyllables  are  most  frequent  in  the  early  dramatists,  and  in 
them  usually  fall  under  the  verse-ictus. 

2495.  The  monosyllables  dem,  stem,  rem,  spem,  sim,  are  thought  never 
to  be  elided  before  a  short  vowel. 

2496.  After  a  final  vowel,  final  m  preceded  by  a  vowel,  or  final  -us,  the 
verb  est  often  loses  its  e  :  as,  bonast,  bonumst,  bonust,  vlsust.  So,  too, 
es  sometimes  loses  its  vowel  :  as,  homo’s,  adeptus’.  This  usage  reflects 
the  actual  pronunciation  of  common  speech. 

2497.  Semi-hiatus  or  Semi-elision.  A  long  final  vowel  is 
sometimes  shortened  before  a  vowel.  This  may  occur  either  in  the 
arsis  (2520),  or  in  a  resolved  thesis  :  as,  an  qui  amant  (Verg.)  ;  lec- 
tulo  erudituli  (Cat.)  ;  nam  qui  aget  (Ter.). 

This  kind  of  shortening  is  not  frequent  except  in  the  early  dramatists,  who  often 
shorten  under  the  verse-ictus  a  monosyllable  ending  in  a  long  vowel  and  followed  by 
an  initial  vowel  (as  in  the  third  example  above). 

2498.  Synaloepha  (Greek  o-vraAoi^',  a  smearing  together )  is  a  general  term 
used  to  denote  the  means  of  avoiding  hiatus.  It  includes  elision  and  synizesis,  though 
some  grammarians  use  it  in  the  same  sense  as  synizesis. 

2499.  Synizesis  (Greek  o-wt^ert?,  a  settling  together).  Two 
vowels  (or  a  vowel  and  a  diphthong)  which  belong  to  different 
syllables  sometimes  coalesce  so  as  to  form  one  syllable.  This 
is  called  Synizesis,  and  is  especially  common  in  the^early  drama¬ 
tists.  Examples  are  :  meo,  eadem,  cuius,  aurei. 

Some  grammarians  would  include  under  Synizesis  only  cases  in  which  a  short 
vowel  is  subordinated  to  a  following  long;  as  tub. 

2500.  The  term  Synaeresis  (Greek  o-wai'pecris,  a  taking  together )  is  sometimes 
used  as  a  synonym  for  Synizesis.  The  ancient  grammarians,  however,  used  it  in  the 
sense  of  Contraction  (99). 

2501.  Dialysis  (Greek  SidAvo-t?,  a  breaking  up).  Conversely, 
two  vowels  which  usually  form  a  diphthong  are  sometimes  sepa¬ 
rated  so  as  to  form  two  syllables  :  as  coepi  (Lucr.)  for  coepl. 

This,  however?  is  really  the  survival  of  the  original  forms  (99).

Figures  of  Prosody .  [2502-2509. 


2502.  The  name  Diaeresis  (Greek  Siai'pecris,  a  separating)  is  sometimes  used  as 
a  synonym  for  Dialysis ;  but  it  is  better  to  restrict  it  to  the  meaning  defined  in  2542. 

2503.  Hardening.  A  vocalic  i  or  u^is  sometimes  made 
consonantal  before  another_vowel  :  as,  abiete,  ariete  (Verg.)  ; 
consilium  (Hor.)  ;  omnia  (Lucr.). 

This  usage  is  sometimes  included  under  Synizesis  (2499),  while  some  grammarians 
term  it  Synaeresis  (2500). 

2504.  Softening.  Conversely,  a  consonantal  i  or  u  some¬ 
times  becomes  vocalized  before  a  vowel,  thus  giving  an  addi¬ 
tional  syllable  :  as,  siliiae  for  silvae  (Hor.)  ;  evoliiisse  for 
evolvisse  (Ov.).  See  1 13. 

This  usage  is  sometimes  included  under  the  name  Dialysis  (2501). 

2505  Diastole  (Greek  huxoToXii,  a  drawing  asunder).  A  syllable  which 
in  verse  of  the  classical  period  is  generally  short  is  sometimes  used  as  long 
for  metrical  convenience.  The  syllable  so  employed  generally  falls  under 
the  verse-ictus,  and  in  most  cases  is  immediately  followed  by  the  principal 
caesura,  or  by  a  pause  in  the  sense.  Examples  are : 

terga  fatigamus  hasta,  nec  tarda  senectus,  V.  9,  610. 
turn  sic  Mercurium  adloquitur  ac  talia  mandat,  V.  4,  222. 
caeca  timet  aliunde  fata,  H.  2,  13,  16. 

In  nearly  all  cases  this  lengthening  is  not  arbitrary,  but  the  “  lengthened  ”  syllable 
is  one  that  was  originally  long  (see  63  ff.). 

2506.  The  enclitic  -que  is  sometimes  lengthened  under  the  ictus  when  another 
-que  precedes  or  follows  in  the  arsis :  as,  calones  famulique  metallique  ca- 
culaeque  (Accius). 

2507.  Systole  (Greek  (Tvo-roXrj,  a  drawing  together).  Conversely  a 
syllable  which  in  verse  is  regularly  long  is  sometimes  shortened  for  metrical 
convenience:  as,  dedgrunt  (Hor.),  nullius  (Hor.),  imperat.  commoda 
(Cat). 

In  most  cases  this  shortening  is  not  arbitrary,  but  represents  a  pronunciation 
which  was  in  actual  use,  especially  among  the  common  people. 

2508.  Syncope  (Greek  o-uyKOTn),  a  cutting  short) .  A  short  vowel  is  often 
dropped  between  two  consonants:  as,  surpite  for  surripite  (Hor.),  repos- 
tum  for  repositum  (Verg.). 

This  usage  doubtless  reflects  the  common  pronunciation ;  see  93-5. 

2509.  Tmesis  (Greek  17x170-19,  a  cutting)  is  the  separation  of  the 
parts  of  a  word  :  as,  septem  subiecta  trionl  =  septemtrionl  sub- 
iecta  (Verg.). 

This  usually  occurs  only  in  compounds ;  but  early  poets  sometimes 
divided  other  words :  as,  saxo  cere  comminuit  brum  for  sax5  cerebrum 
comminuit  (Ennius).

2510.  Synapheia  (Greek  crvvacpeia,  a  joining  together)  is  the  linking 
together  by  elision  or  word  division  of  two  lines  belonging  to  the  same 
system :  as, 

love  non  probante  u- 

xorius  amnis,  H.  1,  2,  19.

III.  VERSIFICATION. 


By  Herman  W.  Hayley,  Ph.D. 

2511.  Rhythm  (Gr.  pu(9/xo?,  from  peiv,  to  flow )  is 
the  effect  of  regularity  produced  by  the  discrimina¬ 
tion  of  a  movement  or  sound  into  uniform  intervals 
of  time.  It  is  often  marked  by  a  stress  or  ictus  re¬ 
curring  at  fixed  intervals. 

Rhythm  is  by  no  means  confined  to  verse.  Music,  dancing,  and  even  the  regular 
beat  of  a  trip-hammer,  have  rhythm.  Particular  kinds  of  movement  are  often  called 
rhythms,  as  anapaestic  rhythms,  dactylic  rhythms,  &c. 

2512.  Metre  (Gr.  flrpov,  a  measure)  is  the  defi¬ 
nite  measurement  of  verse  by  feet,  lines,  strophes, 
systems,  &c. 

2513.  Latin  verse  is  quantitative,  the  rhythm  depending  upon  the  quan¬ 
tity  of  the  syllables  (but  see  254S).  The  ictus  naturally  falls  upon  a  long 
syllable  (or  its  equivalent).  English  verse,  on  the  other  hand,  is  accen¬ 
tual,  its  rhythm  depending  upon  the  accent  of  words. 


Quantity. 

2514.  Signs  of  Quantity.  A  long  syllable  is  indicated  by 
a  short  one  by  A  syllable  which  varies  in  quantity,  being 
sometimes  long,  sometimes  short,  is  indicated  by  ^  or  w. 

In  the  following  metrical  schemes,  vv  indicates  that  the  long  is  more  usual  or 
more  strictly  in  accordance  with  the  rhythm  than  the  short.  The  reverse  is  indicated 
by  w.

[2515-2521. 


ws-  The  Unit  of  Measure  is  the  duration  of  a  short  syllable 
and  is  called  a  Time ,  Temp  us,  or  Mora.  The  mora  did  not  have  an 
absolute  length,  but  varied  with  the  nature  of  the  rhythm.  For  greater 
convenience,  however,  it  is  assumed  that  its  length  was  uniform,  and 
equalled  that  of  an  eighth  note  A  long  syllable,  being  equal  to 
two  shorts,  has  a  length  of  two  morae ,  which  is  assumed  to  be  the 
same  as  that  of  our  quarter-note  J  Hence  in  notation  w  =  and 

~  0 

2516.  Protraction.  A  long  syllable  may  be  prolonged  (Pro- 
traction )  so  as  to  have  a  length  of  three  morae ,  in  which  case  it  is 

called  a  triseme  (marked  1 _ ),  or  of  four  morae ,  when  it  is  termed  a 

tetraseme  (marked  i_i).  See  2537  and  2541. 

2517.  Correption.  A  long  or  short  syllable  may  be  shortened  so  as  to 
occupy  less  than  its  normal  time.  This  is  called  Correption  (Lat.  correptid , 
a  shortening).  See  2523  and  2524. 

2518.  Resolution  and  Contraction.  In  some  kinds  of  verse 
a  long  syllable  may  be,  as  it  were,  broken  up  ( Resolution )  into  the 
equivalent  two  shorts  ;  and  conversely  two  short  syllables  may  in  some 
cases  be  united  ( Contraction )  into  the  equivalent  long. 


Feet. 

2519.  Feet.  Latin  verse  (like  English)  is  measured  by  groups 
of  syllables  called  Feet.  Each  of  these  groups  has  a  definite  length 
of  so  many  morae  (2515). 

It  is  theoretically  more  accurate  to  make  the  foot  purely  a  time-division,  as  some 
authorities  do  ;  but  the  definition  given  above  is  sanctioned  by  established  usage. 

2520.  Arsis  and  Thesis.  Every  complete  foot  consists  of  two 
parts,  an  accented  and  an  unaccented.  The  part  on  which  the  rhyth¬ 
mical  accent  or  ictus  falls  is  called  the  Thesis  (Gr.  Oeais,  a  setting 
down).  The  unaccented  part  of  the  foot  is  termed  the  Arsis  (Gr. 
upais,  a  raising). 

The  name  Thesis  originally  referred  to  the  setting  down  of  the  foot  in  beating 
time  or  marching,  or  to  the  movement  of  the  leader's  hand  in  making  the  downward 
beat :  and  Arsis  in  like  manner  meant  the  raising  of  the  foot  or  hand.  But  the 
Roman  grammarians  misunderstood  the  Greek  terms,  supposing  them  to  refer  to  the 
lowering  and  raising  of  the  voice,  and  so  interchanged  them.  Hence  many  modern 
writers  prefer  to  use  Arsis  to  denote  the  accented,  and  Thesis  the  unaccented,  part  of 
the  foot.

But  these  are  of  little  practical  importance,  as  most  of  them  never  are  employed 
in  Latin  poetry,  and  the  few  which  do  occur  are  used  only  as  substitutes  for  other  feet. 


Cyclic  Feet. 

2523.  A  dactyl  occurring  in  $  time  did  not  have  the  value  of  2  viorae 
+  1  +  1,  but  was  given  instead  that  of  i£  +  f +  f ;  in  other  words  both 
arsis  and  thesis  suffered  correption  (2517),  but  the  ratio  between  them  re¬ 
mained  unchanged.  Such  a  dactyl  is  called  cyclic ,  and  is  marked  — 
or  musically  J)  J]  J)  There  is  also  a  cyclic  anapaest,  marked  —  or  ^  J] 

Some  scholars,  however,  hold  that  the  cyclic  dactyl  had  approximately  the  value 

Ii  +  i  +  1,  °r  j7*i  o',  and  mark  it  —  w  \y.  In  like  manner  they  mark  the  cyclic 
anapaest  — .  The  true  nature  of  these  cyclic  feet  is  very  uncertain. 


Irrational  Syllables  and  Feet. 

2524.  A  long  syllable  sometimes  stands  in  place  of  a  short.  A 
syllable  thus  used  is  called  irratio?ial  (marked  >)  because  it  destroys 
the  normal  ratio  between  arsis  and  thesis.  The  foot  which  contains 
such  a  syllable  is  itself  called  irrational.  The  most  common  irra¬ 
tional  foot  is  the  irratio7ial  spondee  ( —  >  when  it  stands  for  a 
trochee ;  >  —  when  it  replaces  an  iambus),  which  is  found  in  iambic, 
trochaic,  and  logaoedic  rhythms. 

Probably  the  irrational  long  suffered  a  slight  correption  (2517),  so  that  its  dura¬ 
tion  was  between  that  of  the  ordinary  long  and  that  of  a  short  syllable. 


Rhythms. 

2525.  The  different  rhythms  or  metres  are  named  trochaic, 
iambic,  &c.,  according  to  their  fundamental  feet. 

2526.  Much  of  the  Latin  poetry  (though  not  by  any  means  all)  was 
written  to  be  sung.  The  Greeks  and  Romans  employed  in  their  music  not 
only  common  (or  f)  time  and  triple  (f,  f)  time,  but  also  f  time,  which  last 
is  very  rarely  used  in  modern  music. 

2527.  The  Greek  and  Roman  metricians  divided  the  rhythms  into  three  classes, 
according  to  the  ratio  between  arsis  and  thesis  in  their  fundamental  feet.  These 
classes  were  :  —  (a.)  the  Equal  Class  (yeVos  'Lvov,  genus  par )  in  which  thesis  and  arsis 
are  equal  in  duration,  as  in  dactylics,  anapaestics,  &c. ;  ( b .)  the  Double  Class  (yeVo? 
^LirXacriov,  genus  duplex )  in  which  the  thesis  has  twice  the  duration  of  the  arsis,  as  in 
trochaics,  iambics,  &c. ;  ( c .)  the  Hemiolic  Class  (yivas  r\y.<.6\iov,  genus  sescuplex)  in 
which  the  thesis  has  one  and  a  half  times  the  duration  of  the  arsis,  as  in  bacchiacs, 
cretics,  etc. 

2528.  Ascending  and  Descending  Rhythms.  Rhythms  in 
which  the  thesis  follows  the  arsis  (as  in  iambics)  are  called  ascending ; 
those  in  which  it  precedes  the  arsis  (as  in  trochaics)  are  termed  de¬ 
scending. 


445 


2529-2533*]  Appendix  ( E. ) :  Prosody . 


Anacrusis. 

2529.  The  ancients  recognized  both  ascending  and  descending 
rhythms  (2528),  and  regarded  the  former  class  as  at  least  equal  in  im¬ 
portance  to  the  latter;  but  many  modern  scholars  since  the  time  of 
Bentley  have  preferred  to  treat  all  rhythms  as  descending,  regarding 
the  first  arsis  of  an  ascending  rhythm  as  merely  answering  to  a  pre¬ 
liminary  upward  beat  in  music.  Such  an  initial  arsis  was  named  by 
Gottfried  Hermann  Anacrusis  (Gr.  dvaKpovais,  a  striking  tip). 

Scholars  have  been  influenced  to  adopt  the  anacrustic  theory  in  its 
widest  extent  largely  by  the  fact  that  in  most  modern  music  a  measure  must 
commence  with  a  downward  beat,  a  rule  which  did  not  hold  in  ancient  music. 
By  this  theory  an  iambic  verse  becomes  trochaic  with  anacrusis,  an  anapae¬ 
stic  verse  dactylic  with  anacrusis,  &c.  But  in  many  cases  those  kinds  of 
verse  which  begin  with  an  arsis  were  subject  to  different  rules  of  construc¬ 
tion  from  those  which  begin  with  a  thesis.  Hence  it  seems  best  to  restrict 
anacrusis  to  logaoedic  verse,  in  which  it  undoubtedly  occurs. 

2530-  The  anacrusis  may  be  a  long  syllable,  a  short  syllable,  or 
two  shorts  (but  not  two  longs).  It  is  often  irrational  (2524).  In 
metrical  schemes  it  is  often  set  off  from  the  rest  of  the  verse  by  a  ver¬ 
tical  row  of  dots  :  thus,  j 


Groups  of  Feet. 

2531-  A  group  of  two  feet  is  called  a  dipody ,  one  of  three  a  tri- 
pody ,  one  of  four  a  tetrapody ,  one  of  five  a  pentapody,  and  one  of  six  a 
hexapody .  The  dipody  is  the  measure  of  trochaic,  iambic,  and  ana¬ 
paestic  verse.  Other  kinds  of  verse  are  measured  by  the  single  foot. 

A  single  foot  is  sometimes  called  a  monopody.  A  group  of  three  half  feet,  i.  e. 
a  foot  and  a  half,  is  sometimes  called  a  trithemimeris ,  one  of  two  and  a  half  feet  a 
pcnihemimcris,  one  of  three  and  a  half  a  hep  lit  h  e  m  i  m  eris,  &c. 

2532.  A  Rhythmical  Series ,  Rhythmical  Sentence ,  or  Colon  is  a 
group  of  two  or  more  feet  (but  not  more  than  six)  which  are  united 
into  a  rhythmic  whole  by  strengthening  one  of  the  ictuses,  so  that 
it  becomes  the  principal  or  dominant  ictus  of  the  whole  group. 

2533-  T  he  Verse.  A  rhythmical  series,  or  group  of  two  (or 
even  three)  series,  which  forms  a  distinct  and  separate  whole 
is  called  a  Verse.  The  final  syllable  of  a  verse  must  terminate 
a  word  (except  in  cases  of  synapheia,  see  2510),  and  may  be 
either  long  or  short  (whence  it  is  termed  syllaba  an  ceps)  without 
regard  to  the  rhythm.  Hiatus  (2474)  is  freely  allowed  at  the 
end  of  a  verse  (though  in  rare  cases  elision  occurs  before  a 
vowel  at  the  beginning  of  the  following  verse ;  see  2492  and 
2568). 

A  verse  is  generally  (but  not  always)  written  as  one  line.  Hence,  the  words 
“verse”  and  “line”  are  often  used  as  synonyms.

[2534-2540. 


Syllaba  Anceps. 

2534.  In  the  present  work,  the  final  syllable  of  each  verse  is 
marked  Jong  or  short  as  the  rhythm  may  require,  without  reference  to 
its  quantity  in  a  given  example;  and  in  the  general  schemes  it  is  to  be 
understood  that  the  final  syllable  is  syllaba  anceps  (2533)  unless  the 
contrary  is  expressly  stated. 

2535.  Dicolic  and  Asynartetic  Verses.  A  verse  which  consists  of  two 
rhythmical  series  (or  cola)  is  called  dicolic.  If  the  series  of  which  the  verse  is  made  up 
are  quasi-independent  of  each  other,  so  that  hiatus  or  syllaba  anceps  occurs  in  the 
caesura,  the  verse  is  styled  asynartetic  (Gr.  aovodpr-qro';,  not  joined  together). 

2536-  Names  of  Verses.  Verses  are  called  trochaic ,  iambic , 
dactylic ,  &c.,  according  to  their  fundamental  (or  characteristic)  feet. 
A  verse  which  contains  one  foot  (or  one  dipody  if  iambic,  trochaic,  or 
anapaestic;  see  2531)  is  called  a  monometer ,  one  of  two  a  dimeter , 
one  of  three  a  trimeter ,  one  of  four  a  tetrameter ,  one  of  five  a  pentam¬ 
eter,  and  one  of  six  a  hexameter. 

Trochaic,  iambic,  and  anapaestic  verses  are  often  named  by  Latin  adjec¬ 
tives  in  -drius  (used  as  nouns)  denoting  the  number  of  feet.  Thus,  such  a 
verse  of  eight  feet  is  called  an  octondrius ,  one  of  seven  a  septenarius ,  one  of 
six  a  sendrius,  &c.  A  short  verse  which  is  employed  to  close  a  system 
(2547),  or  to  mark  a  metrical  or  musical  transition  between  longer  verses,  is 
called  a  clausula. 

Catalexis,  Pause,  Syncope. 

2537-  Catalexis.  A  verse,  the  last  foot  of  which  is  incomplete, 
is  said  to  suffer  Catalexis  (Gr.  KaraXr^ir,  a  stopping  short )  or  to  be 
catalectic ;  one  of  which  the  last  foot  is  complete  is  called  acatalectic. 

It  is  usually  the  last  part  of  the  foot  that  is  omitted  ;  but  (according  to 
the  theory  now  generally  accepted)  in  catalectic  iambic  verses  it  is  the  last 
arsis  that  is  omitted,  the  preceding  thesis  being  protracted  (2516)  to  compen¬ 
sate  for  the  loss,  thus  \  \j  PL  L. 

2533.  A  verse  in  which  both  the  last  arsis  and  the  next  to  the  last 
are  suppressed,  so  that  a  whole  foot  appears  to  be  wanting,  is  called 
brachycatalcctic. 

2539.  A  verse  is  said  to  be  catalectic  in  syllabam,  in  disyllabum,  or  in 
trisyllabum ,  according  to  the  number  of  syllables  remaining  in  the  last  foot. 

Thus,  the  dactylic  tetrameter  _ ww|  _ wu|  _ uu|  _  is  catalectic  in 

syllabam ,  but _ uw  |  _ w  w  |  _ wu  |  _ w  is  catalectic  in  disyllabum. 

2540.  Pauses.  Theoretically  all  the  feet  (or  dipodies  ;  see  2531) 
into  which  a  verse  is  divided  must  be  equal  in  duration.  Hence, 
when  a  final  syllable  (or  two  final  syllables)  is  lost  by  catalexis,  com¬ 
pensation  is  made  for  the  loss  by  a  pause  at  the  end  of  the  verse. 
Such  a  pause,  which  serves  to  fill  out  the  last  measure,  answers  to  a 
rest  in  music. 

A  pause  of  one  viora  is  often  indicated  by  the  sign  A,  and  one  of  two 
morae  by  A- 


447 


254i*_254 7]-  Appendix  (E.) :  Prosody. 


2541.  Syncope  is  the  omission  of  one  or  more  arses  in  the  body 
of  a  verse.  Compensation  is  made  for  the  suppression  of  an  arsis  by 
protracting  (2516)  the  preceding  thesis. 


Caesura. 

2542.  Caesura  and  Diaeresis.  A  Caesura  (literally  a  cutting, 
from  caedo ,  I  cut )  is  the  break  in  a  verse  produced  by  the  ending  of 
a  word  within  a  foot.  When  the  end  of  a  word  coincides  with  the 
end  of  a  foot,  the  break  is  called  a  Diaeresis  (Gr.  dialpeo-is,  a  separat¬ 
ing).  A  caesura  is  marked  ||,  a  diaeresis 

The  word  caesura  is  often  loosely  used  to  include  both  caesura  proper 
and  diaeresis. 

2543.  Strictly  speaking,  there  is  a  caesura  (or  diaeresis,  as  the  case  may 
be)  wherever  a  word  ends  within  a  verse  ;  but  the  main  incision  in  the  verse 
is  so  much  more  important  than  the  rest  that  it  is  often  called  the  principal 
caesura ,  or  simply  the  caesura. 

2544.  Caesuras  are  named  according  to  their  position  in  the  verse  ;  thus 
a  caesura  after  the  third  half-foot  (i.  e.  in  the  second  foot)  is  called  trithe- 
mimeral  (from  Gr.  Tpi6r]fXL/j.€prjs,  containing  three  halves ),  one  after  the  fifth 
half-foot  (i.  e.  in  the  third  foot)  penthemimeral  (Gr.  ireuOrjpup.eprjS,  consisting  of 
five  halves ),  one  after  the  seventh  half-foot  (i.e.  in  the  fourth  foot)  hephthe- 
inimeral  (Gr.  ecpOrj/jup.ep'rjs),  & c. 

The  Latin  names  caesura  semiternaria  (=  the  trithemimeral  caesura),  semiqui- 
naria  (=  the  penthemimeral),  semiseptendria  (=  the  hepthemimeral),  &c.,  are  some¬ 
times  used.  For  the  masculine  and  feminine  caesuras,  see  2557. 


Strophe.  System. 

2545.  The  Strophe.  A  fixed  number  of  verses  recurring  in  a  regular 
order  is  called  a  Strophe.  A  strophe  commonly  contains  verses  of  different 
kinds,  but  some  strophes  are  composed  of  verses  which  are  all  alike.  The 
most  common  strophes  in  Latin  poetry  are  either  dislichs  (i.e.  groups  of  two 
lines  each),  tristichs  (of  three  lines  each),  or  tetrastichs  (of  four). 

Strophes  and  verses  are  frequently  named  after  some  poet  who  made  use  of  them. 
So  the  Alcaic  strophe  (named  after  Alcaeus),  the  Sapphic  strophe  (named  after 
Sappho),  the  Glyconic  verse  (named  after  Glycon),  the  Asclepiadean  (after  Ascle- 
piades),  the  Phalaecean  (after  Phalaecus),  the  Pherecratean  (after  Pherecrates),  &c. 

2546.  A  Stichic  Series  is  a  series  of  verses  of  the  same  kind  not  combined 
into  strophes. 

2547.  The  System.  A  group  of  rhythmical  series  (see  2532)  which  is 
of  greater  extent  than  a  verse  is  called  a  System.  Long  systems,  such  as  are 
common  in  Greek  poetry,  are  comparatively  rare  in  Latin  verse. 

Few  verses  have  more  than  two  rhythmical  series;  none  more  than  three.

[2548-2551. 


2548.  Although  in  all  probability  the  Latin  accent  was  mainly  one 
of  stress  rather  than  of  pitch,  it  seems  to  have  been  comparatively 
weak.  Hence,  when  it  conflicted  with  the  metrical  ictus,  it  could  be 
the  more  easily  disregarded.  But  accentual  or  semi-accentual  poetry 
seems  to  have  existed  among  the  common  people  even  in  the  Augus¬ 
tan  age,  and  even  in  classical  Latin  verse  in  certain  cases  (as  in  the 
last  part  of  the  dactylic  hexameter)  conflict  between  ictus  and  accent 
was  carefully  avoided.  After  the  third  century  A.  d.  the  accent 
exerted  a  stronger  and  stronger  influence  upon  versification,  until  in 
the  Middle  Ages  the  quantitative  Latin  verse  was  quite  supplanted 
by  the  accentual. 

NUMERI  ITALICI. 

2549.  Some  of  the  earliest  remains  of  Latin  literature  are  believed 
to  show  a  rhythmical  structure.  These  are  chiefly  prayers,  impreca¬ 
tions,  sacred  songs  and  the  like,  couched  in  a  set  form  of  words.  Of 
the  rules  according  to  which  these  carmina  were  composed,  almost 
nothing  is  known.  According  to  one  theory,  they  are  wholly  accen¬ 
tual,  and  are  composed  of  rhythmical  series,  each  series  containing 
four  theses.  Frequently  an  arsis  is  suppressed,  and  compensation 
for  the  omission  is  made  by  dwelling  longer  upon  the  thesis.  As  an 
example  is  given  the  prayer  in  Cato,  Dc  Re  Rustica ,  141  : 

Mars  pater  te  prdcor  |  qua^soque  utl  sies  |  volens  prdpitius 
mihi  domo  |  f&miliaeque  n6strae,  &c. 

THE  SATURNIAN. 

2550.  The  Saturnian  is  the  best  known  and  most  important 
of  the  old  Italian  rhythms;  but  its  nature  long  has  been,  and  still 
is,  matter  of  high  dispute.  There  are  two  principal  theories  as  to  its 
character,  the  quantitative  and  the  accentual,  each  of  which  is  advo¬ 
cated  by  many  distinguished  scholars. 

2551.  (1.)  The  Quantitative  Theory.  According  to  this  theory,  the 
Saturnian  is  a  verse  of  six  feet,  with  an  anacrusis  (2529).  There  is  a  break 
after  the  fourth  arsis,  or  more  rarely  after  the  third  thesis.  Each  thesis  may 
be  either  a  long  syllable  or  two  shorts ;  each  arsis  may  be  a  short  syllable,  a 
long,  or  two  shorts,  but  an  arsis  is  not  resolved  before  the  principal  break  or 
at  the  end  of  the  verse.  Hiatus  is  common,  especially  at  the  principal  break 
in  the  verse.  A  short  final  syllable  may  be  lengthened  by  the  influence  of 
the  verse-ictus.  An  arsis  is  frequently  suppressed,  especially  the  penultimate 
arsis.  Two  arses  are  never  suppressed  in  the  same  half-verse,  and  rarely 
two  in  the  same  verse.  Examples  of  the  Saturnian,  measured  quantitatively, 
are  : 

Dabunt  malum  Metelli  ^  Naevid  poetae. 

Novem  Iovis  concdrdes  ^  filiae  sordres. 

(Naevius.)

2552.  Most  of  the  Roman  grammarians  who  discussed  the  nature  of  the  Saturnian 
seem  to  have  regarded  it  as  quantitative.  In  modern  times  the  quantitative  theory 
has  been  advocated  by  Ritschl,  Buecheler,  Havet,  Christ,  Lucian  Mueller,  W.  Meyer, 
Reichardt  and  many  others. 

2553.  (2.)  The  Accentual  Theory.  According  to  this  theory,  the  Satur¬ 
nian  is  an  accentual  verse,  constructed  without  regard  to  quantity.  It  is 
divided  by  the  principal  break  into  two  halves,  the  first  of  which  has  three 
theses.  The  second  half  usually  has  three,  but  may  have  only  two,  in  which 
case  it  is  usually  preceded  by  an  anacrusis  (2529).  Two  accented  syllables 
are  regularly  separated  by  an  unaccented  syllable,  but  in  strictly  constructed 
Saturnians  the  second  and  third  unaccented  syllables  are  regularly  separated 
by  two  unaccented  ones.  Hiatus  was  at  first  freely  admitted,  but  in  the 
Saturnians  of  the  second  century  il  c.  occurs  only  at  the  principal  break. 
Examples  of  the  Saturnian,  measured  according  to  this  theory,  are : 

Dabunt  malum  Metelli  ij+  Naevio  poitae. 

Novem  Iovis  Concordes  ^  filiae  sorores.

Virum  mihi,  Camena,  insece  versutum. 

(Livius  Andronicus.) 

Eorum  sectam  sequdntur  mtilti  mortales. 

(Naevius.) 

2554.  The  accentual  theory  was  held  by  the  scholiast  on  V.  G.  2,  385,  and  in 
modern  times  has  been  upheld  (in  one  form  or  another)  by  O.  Keller,  Thurneysen. 
Westphal,  Gleditsch,  Lindsay  and  others.  The  brief  statement  given  above  agrees 
essentially  with  that  of  O.  Keller.  Gleditsch  holds  that  each  half-verse  has  four 
accents,  as  :  Dabunt  m&lum  Metelli  ||  Na6vi5  pogtae  ;  Lindsay  that  the  first 
hemistich  has. three  accents  and  the  second  two,  as:  D&bunt  m^lum  Metelli  || 
Naevi5  poetae.  The  whole  question  is  still  far  from  its  final  settlement. 


DACTYLIC  RHYTHMS. 

2555*  These  are  descending  rhythms  belonging  to  the  Equal 
Class  (see  2527).  In  them  the  fundamental  foot  is  the  dactyl  (J_  ^  v_/), 

for  which  its  metrical  equivalent,  the  spondee  (_£ _ ),  is  frequently 

substituted.

The  Dactylic  Hexameter. 

2556.  The  Dactylic  Hexameter  is  the  verse  regularly  em¬ 
ployed  in  epic,  didactic,  and  bucolic  poetry,  and  is  used  by  the 
Latin  writers  oftener  than  any  other  measure.  It  consists  of 
six  feet,  the  last  of  which  is  a  spondee  (but  with  the  privilege  of 
syllaba  anceps ;  see  2534).  The  fifth  foot  is  usually  a  dactyl; 
but  sometimes  a  spondee  is  employed,  in  which  case  the  verse 
is  called  spondaic.  In  each  of  the  other  four  feet  either  a  dactyl 
or  a  spondee  may  be  used.  The  scheme  is  therefore : 

1  —  1  1  -  I  /  —  I  '  —  |  /  t— i  1  / 

—  \  —  w  w  1  —  w  I  —  w  w  I  —  w  w  1 - 

2557.  A  caesura  which  comes  immediately  after  the  thesis  of  a  foot  is 
called  masculine ;  one  which  falls  in  the  middle  of  the  arsis  (i.  e.  after  the 
first  short  of  a  dactyl)  is  termed  feminine.  The  Roman  writers  show  a 
strong  preference  for  masculine  principal  caesuras,  and  in  general  their 
treatment  of  the  caesura  is  more  strict  than  that  of  the  Greek  poets. 

2558-  The  principal  caesura  in  the  Latin  hexameter  is  most  frequently 
the  penthemimeral  (2544) :  as  in  : 

Arma  virumque  cano  |]  Troiae  qui  primus  ab  oris 

(V.T,  I). 

Next  in  order  of  frequency  stands  the  hephthemimeral,  which  is  usually 
accompanied  by  a  secondary  trithemimeral,  and  in  many  cases  also  by  a 
feminine  caesura  in  the  third  foot:  as  in  the  verse, 

Insignem  ||  pietate  ||  virum  ||  tot  adire  labores 

(V.  1,  10;. 

If  the  secondary  trithemimeral  caesura  is  lacking,  the  penthemimeral  is 
usually  accompanied  by  a  feminine  caesura  in  the  second  foot.  Sometimes, 
though  more  rarely,  the  principal  break  in  the  line  is  the  feminine  caesura 
in  the  third  foot  (often  called  the  “caesura  after  the  third  trochee”),  as  in 
the  verse 

Spargens  umida  mella  ||  soporiferumque  papaver 

(V.  4,486). 

2559-  The  diaeresis  (see  2542)  after  the  fourth  foot  (often  called  “bucolic 
diaeresis”  from  its  use  by  pastoral  writers)  sometimes  occurs,  but  is  much 
less  common  in  Latin  hexameters  than  in  Greek.  An  example  is 

Die  mihi,  Damoeta,  ||  cuium  pecus  ?  4}:  An  Meliboei  ? 

(V.  E.  3,  1). 

This  diaeresis,  though  common  in  Juvenal,  is  rare  in  most  of  the  Latin  poets 
(even  the  bucolic),  and  when  it  does  occur,  it  is  usually  accompanied  by  a  penthe¬ 
mimeral  caesura.  Lucian  Mueller  and  others  deny  that  the  bucolic  diaeresis  ever  forms 
the  principal  break  in  a  line. 


45 1 


2560-2563-]  Appendix  (E.) :  Prosody. 


2560.  When  a  line  has  several  caesuras,  it  is  often  hard  to  determine 
which  is  the  principal  one.  In  general,  masculine  caesuras  out-rank  femi¬ 
nine;  the  penthemimeral  takes  precedence  over  the  hephthemimeral,  and 
the  latter  over  all  other  caesuras.  But  if  the  hephthemimeral,  or  even 
one  of  the  minor  caesuras,  coincides  with  an  important  pause  in  the  sen¬ 
tence,  it  may  out-rank  the  penthemimeral.  Thus  in  the  verse 


Paulat(im)  adnabam 


terrae  ;  ||  iam  tuta  tenebam 

(V.  6,  358), 


the  principal  caesura  is  after  terrae,  not  adnabam. 


Lines  without  a  principal  caesura  are  rare.  An  instance  is 

N5n  quivis  videt  inmodulata  poemata  iudex 

(H.  AP.  263). 

2561.  The  great  flexibility  of  the  hexameter  makes  it  an  admirable  ve¬ 
hicle  of  poetic  expression.  Accumulated  spondees  give  the  verse  a  slow  and 
ponderous  movement :  as  in  the  line 


Ill ( I)  in|ter  seise  ||  ma|gna  vi  |  bracchia  |  tollunt 

(V.  G.  4,  174). 

The  multiplication  of  dactyls  imparts  to  the  verse  a  comparatively  rapid  and 
impetuous  motion,  as  in  the  famous  verse 


Quadrupejdante  pu|trem  II  soni|tu  quatit  |  ungula  I  campum 

(V.8,  596). 

But  even  when  dactyls  are  numerous,  the  Latin  hexameter,  ‘‘the  stateliest 
measure  ever  moulded  by  the  lips  of  man,”  should  not  be  read  with  the  jerky  ¥&  move¬ 
ment  which  is  characteristic  of  the  English  hexameter. 


2562.  The  following  passage  may  serve  to  illustrate  the  movement  of  the 
hexameter,  and  to  show  how  the  use  of  the  different  caesuras  imparts  variety 
to  the  measure  : 


O  soci|i  ||  — nequ(e)  e|n(im)  Tgna|ri  ||  sumus  |  ante  ma|15rum  — 
6  pas|si  gravi|5ra,  ||  dalbit  deus  |  his  quoque  |  finem.

mittite  :  |  forsan  et  |  haec  ||  5|lim  ||  memi|nisse  iulvabit. 

(V.  1,  198). 


Compare  in  English  :

While  with  a  roar  that  soundeth  afar  the  white-maned  breakers 
Leap  up  against  the  cliffs,  like  foemen  madly  rejoicing. 


Notes  on  the  Hexameter. 

2563-  (4.)  In  all  probability,  the  hexameter  was  originally  a  composite  verse, 
made  up  of  two  tripodies,  or  of  a  tetrapody  and  a  dipody.  Hence  hiatus  in  the  prin¬ 
cipal  caesura  is  not  very  rare,  even  in  the  Aiupistan  poets.  The  stress  upon  the  first 
and  fourth  theses  was  probably  stronger  than  that  upon  the  other  three. 

452 


I  Tcrsijication. 


[2564-2572. 


2564.  (2.)  In  the  second  half  of  the  hexameter,  particularly  in  the  fifth  and  sixth 
feet,  verse-ictus  and  word-accent  show  a  strong  tendency  to  coincide. 

2565.  (3.)  A  monosyllable' rarely  stands  before  the  principal  caesura  or  at  the  end 
of  the  verse.  When  the  verse  ends  in  a  monosyllable,  the  thesis  of  the  last  foot  is 
generally  a  monosyllable  also,  as  in  the  line 

Crispinus  minimo  me  prSvccat;  accipe,  si  vis 

(H.  S.  1,  4,  14). 

Exceptions  to  this  rule  sometimes  occur  when  the  poet  wishes  to  produce  a  particu¬ 
lar  effect,  as  in 

Parturient  m5ntes,  nascetur  ridiculus  mus 

(H.  AP.  139). 

2566.  (4.)  A  hexameter  generally  ends  in  a  word  of  two  or  three  syllables, 
almost  never  in  one  of  four,  rarely  in  one  of  five.  But  spondaic  verses  (2556)  gener¬ 
ally  end  with  a  word  of  four  syllables,  more  rarely  with  one  of  three,  almost  never  with 
one  of  two. 

2567.  (5.)  Spondaic  verses  are  comparatively  rare  in  Ennius  and  Lucretius,  but 
become  more  frequent  in  Catullus.  They  are  not  common  in  Vergil,  Horace,  Proper¬ 
tius  and  Ovid,  and  do  not  occur  at  all  in  Tibullus.  Persius  has  one  spondaic  verse, 
Valerius  Flaccus  one,  Claudian  five,  Silius  Italicus  six,  Statius  seven.  Ennius  has 
lines  composed  entirely  of  spondees,  and  so  in  one  instance  (1 16,  3)  Catullus.  Ennius 
also  resolves  the  thesis  of  a  dactyl  in  a  few  cases. 

2568.  (6.)  A  verse  which  is  connected  with  the  following  one  by  elision  (2492)  is 
called  hypermetrical.  Such  verses  are  rare,  and  usually  end  with  the  enclitics  -que 
or  -ve. 

2569.  (7.)  The  dactylic  hexameter  was  introduced  into  Latin  literature  by 
Ennius,  and  was  further  perfected  by  Lucilius,  Lucretius,  and  Cicero,  who  took  him  as 
their  model.  Catullus  and  the  group  to  which  he  belonged  followed  Alexandrian 
models  more  closely,  while  the  great  poets  of  the  Augustan  age  carried  the  technique 
of  tire  hexameter  to  its  highest  perfection.  Horace  in  his  lyric  poetry  treats  the 
hexameter  with  great  strictness;  but  in  the  Satires  and  Epistles  he  handles  it  with 
much  freedom,  imparting  to  the  measure  a  more  colloquial  character  by  the  frequent 
use  of  spondees  and  by  less  rigorous  treatment  of  the  caesura. 


The  Dactylic  Pentameter. 


2570.  The  Dactylic  Pentameter  is  a  verse  consisting  of 
two  catalectic  dactylic  tripodies,  separated  by  a  fixed  diaeresis. 
Spondees  are  admitted  in  the  first  tripody,  but  not  in  the  second. 
The  final  thesis  of  the  first  tripody  is  protracted  to  a  tetraseme 
(2516)  to  compensate  for  the  omission  of  the  arsis.  The  scheme 
is  therefore 

—  I  —  xJ\_j  1  lL  J  J_\j  w  I  _L  w  w  11a 

2571.  (1.)  The  verse  is  not  asynartetic  (2535),  neither  syllaba  anceps  nor  hiatus 
being  allowed  at  the  end  of  the  first  tripody. 


2572.  (2.)  This  verse  is  known  as  the  pentameter  because  the  ancient  gram¬ 
marians  measured  it 


- I  w  w  —  I  V-/  w  - 


453 


2 5  73— 2 5  77*]  ^ ppendix  (E.) :  Prosody . 


2573.  The  pentameter  is  rarely  used  except  in  combination 
with  the  hexameter,  with  which  it  form.s  the  so-called  Elegiac 
Distich: 


-  \J  I  w  \J 

/  —  I  /  — 

-  W  W  I  W  \J

/ ,  +h  / 


r— 1  1  t

-L  w  w  I  _L  A 


2574.  The  Elegiac  Distich  is  used  chiefly  in  elegiac  poetry  (whence  the 
name),  in  amatory  verse  and  in  epigrams.  The  end  of  the  pentameter  gen¬ 
erally  coincides  with  a  pause  in  the  sense.  As  examples  of  the  Elegiac 
Distich,  the  following  may  serve  : 


Quam  legisj  ex  il|la  ||  tibi  |  venit  elpistola  |  terra 
latus  u|b(I)  aequore|is  additur  |  Hister  a|quis. 

Si  tibi  i  contige|rit  ||  cum  |  dulci  |  vita  sallute, 

Candida  |  f5rtu|nae  p{:  pars  manet  |  una  me|ae. 

O.  Tr.  5,  7,  1. 


Compare  in  English  (but  see  2561  ad  fin.) : 

“These  lame  hexameters  the  strong-winged  music  of  Homer ! 

No  —  but  a  most  burlesque,  barbarous  experiment  .  .  . 
Hexameters  no  worse  than  daring  Germany  gave  us. 

Barbarous  experiment,  barbarous  hexameters.” 

(Tennyson). 


2575.  The  Elegiac  Distich  was  introduced  into  Roman  poetry  by  Ennius,  who  used 
it  in  epigrams.  Varro  employed  it  in  his  Saiurae,  and  Catullus  seems  to  have  been 
the  first  of  the  Latins  who  used  it  in  Elegiac  poetry.  The  elegiac  and  amatory  poets 
of  the  Augustan  age,  especially  Ovid,  perfected  it,  and  wielded  it  with  unequalled 
grace  and  ease. 

2576.  Ovid  nearly  always  closes  the  pentameter  with  a  disyllabic  word  ;  but  ear¬ 
lier  poets,  especially  Catullus,  are  less  careful  in  this  regard.  Elision  is  less  frequent 
in  the  pentameter  than  in  the  hexameter.  It  sometimes  occurs  in  the  main  diaeresis 
of  the  pentameter,  though  rarely. 


The  Dactylic  Tetrameter  Acatalectic  (or 

A/cmanian'). 

2577.  This  verse  is  chiefly  used  in  composition  with  a  trochaic  tripody 
to  form  the  Greater  Archilochian  verse  (2677)  ;  but  it  occurs  alone  once  in 
Terence  ( Andria  625),  and  is  employed  in  stichic  series  (2546)  by  Seneca. 
The  scheme  is : 

f  —  I  /  —  1  ! 

An  example  is  : 

hocine  |  credibill(e)  aut  memolrabile 

(T.  Andr.  625). 

This  verse  is  often  called  Alcmcinian  because  it  was  used  by  the  Greek  poet 
Aleman.

It  is  used  chiefly  in  the  First  Archilochian  Strophe  (see  2725).  Inform  it  is 
the  same  as  the  second  half  of  the  pentameter  (2570). 

2580.  These  verses  (2578,  2579)  are  often  called  Archilochian  because  they  were 
first  used  by  the  Greek  poet  Archilochus. 


IAMBIC  RHYTHMS. 

2581.  These  are  ascending  rhythms  (2528)^  ■§  time.  The  fun¬ 
damental  foot  is  the  Iambus  (w  _L),  for  which  its  metrical  equivalent 
the  tribrach  w  L  the  irrational  spondee  >  _L,  the  irrational  dactyl 
>  L  v’  the  cyclic  anapaest  ww  L,  or  the  proceleusmatic  L  w  is 
sometimes  substituted. 

2582.  The  Greek  poets  excluded  all  feet  except  the  iambus  and  tribrach, 
and  in  comedy  the  anapaest,  from  the  even  places  in  iambic  verse.  The 
Latin  poets  were  not  so  strict :  but  when  one  of  the  even  feet  was  formed  by 
a  word  or  a  word-ending,  they  did  not  usually  allow  the  foot  to  be  a  spondee 
or  an  anapaest,  but  required  it  to  be  an  iambus.

The  Iambic  Trimeter  or  Senarius. 

2583.  The  Iambic  Trimeter  is  the  verse  most  frequently 
used  by  the  Roman  dramatists.  It  consists  of  six  iambic  feet, 
or  three  iambic  dipodies.  The  ictus  on  the  second  thesis  of 
each  dipody  was  probably  weaker  than  that  upon  the  first  thesis. 
Some  ancient  authorities,  however,  held  that  the  ictus  on  the 
second  thesis  was  the  stronger.  The  last  foot  is  always  an  iam¬ 
bus.  The  normal  scheme  is  therefore  : 


Some  prefer  (see  2529)  to  regard  this  verse  as  a  trochaic  trimeter  cata- 
lectic  with  anacrusis.  The  normal  scheme  will  then  be  : 

w  :  w  I  _i_  w  I  w  !  w  |  i.  o  |  _i_  A 

2584.  The  Latin  poets  differ  widely  in  their  treatment  of  the  Senarius, 
some  (especially  Plautus,  Terence,  and  the  other  early  dramatists)  handling 
it  with  great  freedom,  while  others  (especially  Phaedrus  and  Publilius  Syrus) 
conform  more  closely  to  Greek  models.  We  may  therefore  distinguish  two 
periods : 


(A.)  Early  Period. 

2585.  Any  one  of  the  substitutions  enumerated  in  2581  is  admit¬ 
ted  in  any  foot  except  the  last..  The  scheme  is  therefore:

The  main  caesura  is  usually  penthemimeral  (2544)  ;  but  it  is  sometimes 
hephthemimeral,  in  which  case  there  is  generally  a  secondary  caesura  in,  or 
diaeresis  after,  the  second  foot. 

The  following  passage  may  serve  to  show  the  rhythm:

2586.  (1.)  In  the  early  dramatists,  substitutions  are  very  numerous,  and  lines 
which  follow  the  normal  scheme  are  rare.  Substitutions  are  most  frequent  in  the  first 
foot. 

2587.  (2.)  Four  shorts  rarely  stand  in  succession  unless  they  belong  to  the  same 
foot.  Hence  a  dactyl  or  tribrach  is  seldom  followed  by  an  anapaest. 

2588.  (3.)  T  he  dactyl  and  proceleusmatic  are  rare  in  the  fifth  foot.  The  pro- 
celeusmatic  occurs  chiefly  in  the  first  foot. 

2589.  (4.)  The  fifth  foot  is  very  often  a  spondee.  It  must  not  be  a  pure  iambus 
except  (a.)  when  the  line  ends  with  a  polysyllable  of  four  or  more  syllables  ;  ( b .)  when 
it  ends  with  a  word  which  forms  a  Cretic  (2521)  ;  ( c .)  when  it  ends  with  an  iambic  word 
preceded  by  one  which  forms  a  Fourth  Paeon  (2521),  or  by  an  anapaestic  word  which 
is  itself  preceded  by  a  final  short  syllable  ;  ( d .)  when  there  is  a  change  of  speakers 
before  the  last  foot;  ( e .)  when  elision  occurs  in  the  fifth  or  sixth  foot. 

259°.  (5.)  The  main  caesura  is  rarely  preceded  by  a  monosyllable. 

2591.  (6.)  In  the  Senarius,  and  in  the  other  iambic  and  trochaic  verses  of  the 
early  dramatists,  a  resolved  arsis  or  thesis  is  usually  placed  so  that  its  first  syllable 
begins  a  word,  or  so  that  the  two  shorts  of  the  resolved  arsis  or  thesis  are  enclosed  by 
other  syllables  belonging  to  the  same  word.  Hence  a  dactylic  word  with  the  ictus  on 
the  penult  or  ultima  (e.  g.  tempdre)  rarely  occurs.  But  there  are  occasional  ex¬ 
ceptions  to  the  rule,  especially  in  the  case  of  words  that  are  closely  connected  (e.  g.  a 
preposition  with  its  case). 


(B.)  Later  Period. 

2592.  Later  writers  conform  more  closely  to  Greek  usage,  but  differ 
from  one  another  in  the  degree  of  strictness  with  which  they  follow  it.  The 
general  scheme  is : 

ei  |w^_l£!l-L|w_2_|dJ_|w^_ 

WWW  I  w  w  w  |  w  II  ^  w  I  www|wv^w

The  main  caesura  is  usually  the  penthemimeral  (2544).  The  hephthe- 
mimeral  sometimes  occurs,  but  usually  in  connection  with  the  penthemimeral, 
or  with  a  diaeresis  after  the  second  foot.  If  the  hephthemimeral  is  used 
without  either  of  these,  the  second  and  third  trochees  of  the  line  must 
form  one  word,  as  in 

ut  gau  det  In  sitilva  ||  de|cerpens  |  pira. 

(II.  Epod.  2,  19.)

2593“26°°-]  Appendix  (E.) :  Prosody. 


2593-  (r0  The  anapaest  is  rare  in  nearly  all  classical  writers;  Catullus  does  not 
admit  it  at  all,  and  Horace  only  five  times  in  all.  The  proceleusmatic  is  admitted  in 
the  first  foot  by  Seneca,  the  author  of  the  Octavia ,  Phaedrus,  Publilius  Syrus  and 
Terentianus  Maurus;  other  writers  exclude  it  altogether.  Catullus  keeps  the  fifth 
foot  pure,  and  Horace  does  not  admit  the  tribrach  in  the  fifth  foot. 

2594.  (2.)  Catullus  (4  and  29),  Horace  (Epod.  16),  Vergil  (Cat.  3,  4,  8).  and  the 
authors  of  the  Priapea  sometimes  use  the  pure  iambic  trimeter,  without  resolutions  or 
substitutions. 

2595.  (3.)  Phaedrus  follows  in  part  the  earlier  usage,  admitting  the  spondee, 
dactyl,  and  anapaest,  in  every  foot  except  the  last.  The  dactyl  he  employs  chiefly  in 
the  first,  third,  and  fifth  feet,  the  anapaest  in  the  first  and  fifth.  The  proceleusmatic 
he  admits  only  in  the  first. 

2596.  The  rhythm  of  the  Senarius  may  be  illustrated  by  the  following 
lines  : 

But  one  amid  the  throng  of  eager  listeners, 

A  sable  form  with  scornful  eye  and  look  averse, 

Out-stretched  a  lean  fore-finger  and  bespake  Haroun. 


The  Choliambus  (or  Scazoii). 


2597.  The  Choliambus  is  an  iambic  trimeter  in  which  a  trochee  has 
been  substituted  for  the  final  iambus.  The  penultimate  syllable  is  therefore 
long  instead  of  short.  The  caesura  is  generally  the  penthemimeral  (2544). 
If  it  is  hephthemimeral,  there  is  regularly  a  diaeresis  after  the  second  foot.

2599.  (2.)  Resolutions  and  substitutions  are  less  common  in  the  choliambus  than 
in  the  ordinary  trimeter.  No  monosyllable  except  est  is  admitted  at  the  end  of  the  line. 
The  tribrach  in  the  first  foot  is  rare,  and  the  fifth  foot  is  regularly  an  iambus. 


2600.  (3).  The  verse  is  named  Choliambus  (i.  e.  “lame”  or  “limping  iambus”) 
or  Scazon  (“hobbler  ”)  from  its  odd,  limping  movement.  It  is  sometimes  called  Hip- 
ponactean  from  its  inventor  Hipponax,  and  is  chiefly  used  to  produce  a  satiric  or 
ludicrous  effect.  It  was  introduced  into  Roman  poetry  by  Cn.  Mattius,  and  was  em¬ 
ployed  by  Varro,  Catullus,  Persius,  Petronius,  Martial,  and  others.

The  Iambic  Trimeter  Catalectic. 

2601.  The  Iambic  Trimeter  Catalectic  occurs  in  Horace  (1,4  and 
2,  18).  The  caesura  is  regularly  penthemimeral  (2544).  Resolutions  are 
not  admitted,  except  in  one  doubtful  case,  regumque  pueris  (2,  18,  34), 
where  pueris  may  be  read  (with  synizesis  ;  see  2499).  The  scheme  is  :

foot.  In  1,  4  the  first  foot  is  a  spondee  in  nine  lines  out  of  ten ;  in  2,  18,  it  is  a  spon¬ 
dee  in  only  two  lines  out  of  twenty. 


The  Iambic  Tetrameter  Acatalectic  (or  Octonarius'). 


2604.  This  verse  consists  of  four  iambic  dipodies,  or  eight  complete  iam¬ 
bic  feet.  The  substitutions  enumerated  in  2581  are  admitted  in  the  first 
seven  feet;  but  the  last  foot  is  always  an  iambus.  The  principal  break  in 
the  line  is  usually  a  diaeresis  after  the  fourth  foot  (which  in  that  case  must 
be  a  pure  iambus),  or  a  caesura  after  the  arsis  of  the  fifth.  The  full  scheme  is  :

Up  sprang  the  flowrets  from  the  ground,  and  Nature  smiled  o’er  all  the

2607.  (1.)  The  iambic  octonarius  is  chiefly  a  comic  verse.  Terence  has  about 
eight  hundred  lines  in  this  measure,  Plautus  only  about  three  hundred,  Varro  a  few. 

2608.  (2,.)  Substitutions  are  much  less  common  than  in  the  senarius,  especially  in 
the  even  feet. 

2609.  (3.)  When  there  is  a  diaeresis  after  the  fourth  foot,  so  that  the  line  is  divided 
into  two  equal  halves,  the  verse  is  asynartctic  (2535).  There  seems,  however,  to  be  no 
certain  instance  of  hiatus  in  the  diaeresis  in  the  Terentian  plays. 


Iambic  Septenarius. 

(A.)  Early  Usage. 

2610.  The  Iambic  Septenarius  consists  of  seven  and  a  half 
iambic  feet.  In  any  of  the  complete  feet  the  substitutes  mentioned  in 
2581  are  admitted.  There  is  usually  a  diaeresis  after  the  fourth  foot, 
which  in  that  case  must  be  a  pure  iambus.  If  there  is  not  such  a 
diaeresis,  there  is  generally  a  caesura  after  the  arsis  of  the  fifth  foot. 
The  scheme  cf  substitution  is  :  —

Versification. 


[2612-2617 


2612.  (1.)  The  Iambic  Septenarius  of  the  early  comedy  is  not  properly  a  “  tetra¬ 
meter  catalectic  ”  like  the  Greek,  for  the  penultimate  syllable  is  sometimes  resolved, 
which  is  never  the  case  in  the  Greek  catalectic  tetrameter.  For  the  same  reason  the 
ordinary  anacrustic  (2529)  scheme  of  the  early  Septenarius  is  erroneous;  for  a  triseme 
cannot  be  resolved. 

2613.  (2.)  When  there  is  a  diaeresis  after  the  fourth  foot,  the  verse  is  asynartetic 
(see  2535). 

2614.  (3.)  The  Septenarius  seems  not  to  have  been  used  in  tragedy. 


(B.)  Later  Usage. 

2615.  Varro  and  Catullus  (25)  employ  a  form  of  the  Septenarius 
which  conforms  more  closely  to  Greek  models,  keeping  the  arses  of 
the  even  feet  pure  and  rarely  admitting  resolutions.  There  is  regu¬ 
larly  a  diaeresis  after  the  fourth  foot.  The  scheme  is  :  —

2616.  Catullus  does  not  admit  resolutions  at  all,  save  in  one  very  doubtful  case 
(25,  5).  Varro  seems  to  admit  them  in  the  first  foot  only. 


Iambic  Dimeter  Acatalectic  (or  Quaternarius). 

2617.  The  Iambic  Dimeter  Acatalectic  consists  of  two  complete 
iambic  dipodies  or  four  iambic  feet.  In  the  first  three  feet  the  tribrach, 
irrational  spondee,  irrational  dactyl  and  cyclic  anapaest  are  admitted;  but 
the  proceleusmatic  is  very  rare,  except  in  the  first  foot  of  the  Versus  Reizi- 
anus  (2625),  (of  which  a  Quaternarius  forms  the  first  colon).  The  scheme

2618.  (1.)  The  verse  may  also  be  regarded  as  a  trochaic  dimeter  catalectic  with 
anacrusis  (2529),  with  the  normal  scheme: 

w  I  _Lw|_j_w|_Lw|_l.A 

2619.  (2.)  Horace  admits  resolutions  only  four  times,  the  tribrach  once  in  the 
second  foot  and  the  dactyl  thrice  in  the  first. 

2620.  (3.)  Plautus  (except  in  a  few  instances),  Terence,  and  Horace  employ  the 
dimeter  only  as  a  clausula  (2536)  to  longer  verses.  Petronius,  Seneca,  and  Prudentius 
use  it  to  form  systems  (2547) ;  but  it  is  rarely  so  employed  by  earlier  writers. 

The  Iambic  Dimeter  Catalectic  (or  Ternarius ). 

2621.  This  is  like  the  preceding  verse,  except  that  the  last  foot  is  incom¬ 
plete.  Examples  are :  —

2622.  (1.)  The  verse  may  also  be  regarded  as  a  syncopated  catalectic  trochaic 
dimeter  with  anacrusis  (2529).  The  normal  scheme  will  then  be  :  —

2623.  (2.)  Plautus  and  Terence  use  this  verse  as  a  clausula  (2536).  Petronius  is 
the  first  who  employs  it  to  form  systems  (2547).

2626.  The  nature  of  the  second  colon  of  this  verse  has  long  been  disputed.  Reiz 
and  Christ  treat  it  substantially  as  above ;  Studemund  regards  it  as  a  syncopated 

iambic  dimeter  catalectic  (vy _ \j  | _ vy),  Spengel  and  Gleditsch  as  anapaestic, 

Leo  as  logaoedic,  Klotz  as  sometimes  log.medic  and  sometimes  anapaestic !  The  view 
of  Christ  (. Metrik 2,  p.  34S)  seems,  on  the  whole,  the  most  reasonable,  though  the  ques¬ 
tion  cannot  be  said  to  be  fully  decided.  The  tribrach  is  rare  in  the  second  colon,  but 
there  seems  to  be  a  case  in  Plautus,  R.  675  b. 

2627.  For  other  iambic  verses  and  combinations  of  verses,  see  special  editions  of 
the  dramatists. 


TROCHAIC  RHYTHMS. 

2628.  These  are  descending  rhythms  in  $  time.  The  fundamental  foot 
is  the  trochee  J_  vy,  for  which  its  metrical  equivalent  the  tribrach  A  w  vy 
the  irrational  spondee  J_  >,  the  cyclic  dactyl  J_  wvy,  the  irrational  ana¬ 
paest  C*  w  >,  and  (rarely)  the  proceleusmatic  A  w  are  sometimes 

substituted. 


The  Trochaic  Tetrameter  Catalectic  (or  Septenarius'). 

2629.  The  Trochaic  Tetrameter  Catalectic  is,  next  to  the 
iambic  trimeter,  the  verse  most  frequently  used  by  the  early  Roman 
dramatists.  It  consists  of  seven  and  a  half  trochaic  feet,  or  four 
trochaic  dipodies  (the  last  one  being  incomplete).  The  ictus  on  the 
second  thesis  of  each  dipody  was  probably  weaker  than  that  on  the 
first  thesis.  The  normal  scheme  is  :  — 

_Lw|-^_w|_Lw|_i_w|_kw|_i_w|_Lw|-j_A 

As  in  the  case  of  the  senarius,  we  may  distinguish  two  periods  in  the 
usage  :  — 


(A.)  Early  Period. 

2630.  The  tribrach  is  admitted  in  any  of  the  complete  feet,  and  the 
irrational  spondee,  cyclic  dactyl,  and  irrational  anapaest  in  any  of  the  first 
six  feet.  Terence  does  not  admit  the  proceleusmatic  in  the  Septenarius  (nor 
in  any  other  kind  of  trochaic  verse),  but  Plautus  admits  it  in  the  first  foot. 
The  seventh  foot  of  the  Septenarius  is  usually  a  trochee,  but  the  tribrach 
sometimes  occurs  there.  The  principal  break  in  the  line  is  usually  a  diae¬ 
resis  after  the  fourth  foot  (which  in  that  case  must  not  be  a  dactyl),  often 
accompanied  by  a  secondary  diaeresis  after  the  second  foot.  Sometimes, 
however,  the  principal  break  is  a  diaeresis  after  the  fifth  foot,  in  which  case 
there  is  generally  a  secondary  diaeresis  after  the  third  foot  or  a  caesura  in 
the  fourth.  The  full  scheme  of  substitutions  is  :  — 

_1A  !  |  A  |  _L  A  I  _^A  |  |  _i_  A

2631.  (1.)  When  there  is  a  diaeresis  after  the  fourth  foot,  the  verse  is  asynartetic 
(2535).  In  Plautus  hiatus  in  the  diaeresis  is  not  rare  ;  but  there  seems  to  be  no  cer¬ 
tain  instance  of  it  in  Terence  (see  Ph.  528,  Ad.  697). 

2632.  (2.)  An  anapaest  is  not  allowed  to  follow  a  dactyl. 

2633.  (3.)  The  seventh  foot  is  usually  a  trochee  ;  rarely  a  tribrach  or  dactyl.  The 

tribrach  and  dactyl  are  seldom  found  in  the  fourth  foot. 


(B.)  Later  Usage. 

2634.  The  later  and  stricter  form  of  the  Septenarius  keeps  the  arses  of 
the  odcl  feet  pure,  and  regularly  shows  a  diaeresis  after  the  fourth  foot. 

_L  w  |2_c'|_LwI_lvS-!.o  I  2.0  I  i.  o  |_i_A 

Resolutions  occur,  but  are  far  less  common  than  in  the  earlier  form  of  the 
verse.  The  strict  form  of  the  Septenarius  is  found  in  Varro,  Seneca,  and 
often  in  late  poets  (as  Ausonius,  Prudentius,  &c.). 

2635.  The  rhythm  of  the  Septenarius  may  be  illustrated  by  this  line  :  — 

“  Comrades,  leave  me  here  a  little,  while  as  yet  ’tis  early  morn.” 

(Tennyson.) 

The  Trochaic  Tetrameter  Acatalectic  (or 

Octonarius). 

2636.  The  Trochaic  Tetrameter  Acatalectic  is  chiefly  confined  to 
the  lyrical  portions  of  the  early  comedy.  It  consists  of  four  complete  trochaic 
dipodies  or  eight  trochaic  feet.  The  tribrach,  irrational  spondee,  irrational 
anapaest  and  cyclic  dactyl  may  stand  in  any  foot  save  the  last.  The  last  foot 
is  regularly  a  trochee  or  a  tribrach,  though  (the  last  syllable  being  syllaba 
anceps,  2533)  an  apparent  spondee  or  anapaest,  but  not  a  dactyl,  may  arise. 
The  principal  break  in  the  line  is  regularly  a  diaeresis  after  the  fourth  foot 
(which  in  that  case  must  not  be  a  dactyl).  Occasionally,  however,  there  is 
instead  a  caesura  in  the  fourth  or  fifth  foot.  The  scheme  is  :  —

(2535  )• 

2638.  (2.)  The  Octonarius  is  essentially  a  lyric  metre,  and  is  much  less  common 
than  the  Septenarius. 


The  Trochaic  Tetrameter  Claudus  (or  Season ). 

2639.  This  verse  is  a  trochaic  tetrameter  acatalectic,  with  syncope  and 
protraction  in  the  seventh  foot.  The  normal  scheme  is : 

An  example  is  :  — 

Nec  co|ruscus  |  imber  |  alt5  ||  nubi|lo  ca|dens  |  multus 

(Varro,  Sat.fr.  557  Buech.). 

2640.  (1.)  Substitutions  are  much  rarer  in  this  verse  than  in  the  ordinary  trochaic 
octonarius. 

2641.  (2.)  The  Scazon  was  introduced  among  the  Greeks  by  Hipponax,  whence 
it  is  sometimes  called  the  Hipponactean.  Varro  seems  to  be  the  only  Roman  poet 
who  uses  it. 


The  Nine-syllabled  Alcaic. 

2642.  This  verse  consists  of  two  complete  trochaic  dipodies,  with  ana¬

The  Trochaic  Dimeter  Acatalectic  (or  Quaternarius). 

2643.  This  verse  consists  of  two  complete  trochaic  dipodies.  It  is  very  rare,  but

(H.  2,  18,  1). 

2645.  (1.)  This  is  sometimes  called  the  Euripidean  verse,  from  its  use  by  Eurip¬ 
ides.  The  tribrach  in  the  third  foot  is  rare,  and  is  not  found  in  Terence.  Horace 
keeps  all  the  feet  pure. 

2646.  (2.)  Plautus  and  Terence  often  use  this  verse  between  trochaic  tetrameters, 
but  sometimes  employ  several  Ternarii  in  succession,  as  in  Plaut.  E.  3-6,  Cas. 
953-6?  Ps.  211-13. 


The  Trochaic  Tripody  Acatalectic. 


2647.  This  verse  is  confined  to  the  early  drama,  where  it  is  employed  as 
a  clausula  (2536),  especially  with  Cretics.  It  consists  of  three  complete 
trochaic  feet.  The  same  substitutions  are  admitted  in  every  foot  that  are 
allowed  in  the  first  two  feet  of  the  Ternarius  (2644).  An  example  is  :  — 


Hau  bonum  |  teneo  |  servom

This  verse  is  sometimes  called  the  Ithy phallic.

The  Trochaic  Tripody  Catalectic. 

2648.  This  verse  is  employed  by  the  early  dramatists,  usually  either  as  a 
clausula  (2536)  or  in  groups  of  two  lines  each.  Terence  generally  uses  it  in 
the  former  way,  Plautus  in  the  latter.  The  scheme  of  substitutions  is  :  —

In  one  instance  (/?.  924  ff.)  Plautus  has  six  catalectic  tripodies  in  succession. 


Other  Trochaic  Verses. 


2649.  The  Trochaic  Monometer  Acatalectic  is  sometimes  used  by  Plautus  as  a 
clausula  (2536)  to  Cretic  tetrameters.  ,  It  consists  of  one  complete  trochaic  dipody, 
e.  g.  nimis  injepta’  s,  R.  681.  iure  inliustas.  Am,  247.  Terence  uses  the 
catalectic  monometer  twice  (Etc.  292,  Ph.  485)  at  the  beginning  of  a  scene,  e.  g. 
Dori|5,  Ph.  4S5.  Plautus  has  a  few  other  trochaic  verses  and  combinations  of 
verses,  tor  which  see  special  editions  of  his  plays. 


LOGAOEDIC  RHYTHMS. 


2650.  Logaoedic  verse  consists  of  dactyls  and  trochees  combined 
in  the  same  metrical  series.  The  dactyls  are  “cyclic”  (see  2523), 
occupying  approximately  the  time  of  trochees,  and  hence  the  verse 
moves  in  §  time.  Except  in  the  “Lesser  Alcaic”  verse  (2663),  only 
one  dactyl  may  stand  in  a  single  series ;  and  a  dactyl  must  not  occupy 
the  last  place  in  a  line. 

2651.  (1.)  The  name  “logaoedic”  (Gr.  \oyaoitiiK<i$,  from  \6yos,  speech , 
prose,  and  aoiS-ft,  song )  may  refer  to  the  apparent  change  of  rhythm  (due  to 
the  mixture  of  dactyls  and  trochees),  in  which  logaoedic  verse  resembles 
prose  ;  but  this  is  a  disputed  point. 

2652.  (2.)  In  the  logaoedic  verses  of  Horace,  an  irrational  spondee 
almost  always  takes  the  place  of  a  trochee  before  the  first  dactyl ;  and  if  an 
apparent  choriambus  (iuo  |  LL ;  see  2521)  is  followed  by  another  appa¬ 
rent  choriambus  in  the  same  verse,  the  two  are  regularly  separated  by 
a  caesura.  These  rules  are  not  observed  by  Catullus. 

2653.  (3.)  Anacrusis  (2529)  and  syncope  (2541)  are  very  common  in 
logaoedic  verse. 

2654.  The  following  are  the  principal  logaoedic  rhythms :  — 


DIPODY.

2655.  This  is  a  logaoedic  dipody,  with  the  scheme:  —

2656-2659-]  Append ix  (P-) ;  Prosody 


2656.  (1.)  Some  regard  the  Adonic  as  a  syncopated  catalectic  tripody: 

i-w  |  i_L  I  J—  A 

2657.  (2.)  A  Latin  Adonic  should  consist  of  a  disyllable  -f-  a  trisyllable,  or  the 
reverse.  This  rule  did  not  hold  in  Greek,  where  such  lines  occur  as  d>  top  "a Supip. 
Elision  is  not  allowed  in  the  Latin  Adonic.  Late  Latin  poets  (like  Terentianus) 
sometimes  employ  the  Adonic  in  stichic  series  (2546). 


TRIPODIES. 

The  Aristophanic. 

2658.  This  is  a  logaoedic  tripody  acatalectic,  with  a  dactyl  in  the  first 
place.  The  scheme  is  therefore  :  — 

_L  ww  |  d.  o  |  T  w 

There  is  no  fixed  caesura.  Examples  are  :  —

third  line  of  the  Third  Asclepiadean  Strophe:  see  2733).  It  is  a  logaoedic

The  trochee  and  iambus  are  admitted  in  the  first  foot  by  Catullus,  but  not

are  :  —

(except  in  the  doubtful  case,  1,  15,  36).  There  is  generally  a  trithemimeral 
caesura;  more  rarely  one  in  the  arsis  of  the  second  foot.  Examples  are:  — 

Quern  mor|tis  ||  timujit  gra[dum 

(H.  1,  3,  17). 

With  initial  trochee :  M5nti  um  ||  domiln(a)  ut  fo  res 

(Cat.  34,  9). 

With  initial  iambus:  Pueljl(ae)  6 1  II  pue]r(I)  intelgri 

(Cat.  34,  2). 

2661.  (1.)  This  verse  in  composition  with  the  Pherecratean  forms  the  Priafean 
(2674). 

2662.  (2.)  In  admitting  the  trochee  and  iambus  in  the  first  foot,  Catullus  follows 
Greek  models,  while  Horace  adheres  to  the  stricter  Roman  usage,  as  laid  down  by  the 
grammarians  of  his  own  day.  Seneca  observes  the  same  rule  as  Horace,  but  some  of 
the  later  writers  (e.  g.  Terentianus)  revert  to  the  earlier  and  freer  usage. 


The  Lesser  (or  Decasyllabic)  Alcaic. 

2663.  This  verse  is  a  logaoedic  tetrapody  acatalectic,  with  dactyls  in  the 
first  and  second  places.  The  scheme  is  :  —

There  is  no  fixed  caesura,  though  there  is  frequently  a  break  after  the  thesis, 
or  in  the  arsis,  of  the  second  foot.  Examples  are  :  —

PENTAPODIES. 


The  Phalaecean  (or  Hendecasy liable'). 

2664.  This  verse  is  a  logaoedic  pentapody  with  the  dactyl  in  the  second 
place.  The  Greek  poets  admitted  the  trochee  and  iambus,  as  well  as  the 
spondee,  in  the  first  foot,  and  Catullus  followed  their  example;  but  in  Petro- 
nius,  Martial,  and  the  Pridpea  the  first  foot  is  always  a  spondee,  and  in  later 
writers  nearly  always.  Horace  does  not  use  the  Phalaecean.  There  is  110 
fixed  caesura,  though  the  penthemimeral  is  often  found.  The  scheme  is:  —

“  Look,  I  come  to  the  test,  a  tiny  poem 
All  composed  in  a  metre  of  Catullus.” 

(Tennyson.) 


2665.  The  Phalaecean  is  a  favourite  metre  in  epigrams.  It  was  used  by  Sappho, 
Phalaecus  (from  whom  it  took  its  name),  and  other  Greek  poets,  and  was  introduced 
into  Roman  poetry  by  Laevius  and  Varro.  it  is  a  favourite  metre  with  Catullus,  and 
is  found  in  the  fragments  of  Cinna,  Cornificius  and  Bibaculus,  in  the  Pridpea ,  in 
Petronius,  Statius,  Martial,  &c.  In  Catullus  55,  a  spondee  is  often  employed  instead 
of  the  dactyl,  the  two  kinds  of  feet  alternating  in  the  latter  verses  of  the  poem;  but 
this  innovation  seems  not  to  have  found  favour. 


The  Lesser  Sapphic. 


2666.  This  verse  is  a  logaoedic  pentapody  acatalectic,  with  the  dactyl  in 
the  third  place.  The  scheme  is  :  —

The  trochee  in  the  second  foot  was  admitted  by  Alcaeus  and  Sappho,  and 
occurs  in  Catullus,  but  not  in  Horace.  In  Horace  the  caesura  regularly 
falls  after  the  thesis,  or  (less  frequently)  in  the  arsis,  of  the  dactyl;  but  in 
Catullus,  as  in  Sappho  and  Alcaeus,  it  has  no  fixed  position.  Examples  of 
this  verse  are  :  —

The  Greater  (or  Hendecasyllabic)  Alcaic. 

2667.  This  verse  is  a  logaoedic  pentapody  catalectic,  with  anacrusis  and 
with  the  dactyl  in  the  third  foot.  The  scheme  is :  —

There  is  nearly  always  a  diaeresis  after  the  second  foot.  Examples  are  :  —

VTdes  ut  |  &lta  +4  st6t  nive  |  c&ndi  |  dum 

(H.  1,  9,  1). 

2663.  Alcaeus  admitted  a  trochee  in  the  second  foot,  and  allowed  the  anacrusis  to 
be  either  long  or  short ;  but  Horace  admitted  only  the  spondee  in  the  second  foot,  and 
usually  (in  Bk.  4  always)  employed  a  long  anacrusis.  Horace  also  differed  from  his 
predecessor  in  assigning  a  fixed  place  to  the  caesura,  which  in  Alcaeus  has  no  regular 
position. 

COMPOSITE  LOGAOEDIC  VERSES. 

The  Lesser  Asclepiadean. 


2669.  This  is  a  composite  verse,  consisting  of  two  series,  a  svncopated 
logaoedic  tripody  +  a  logaoedic  tripody  catalectic.  There  is  regularly  a 
diaeresis  between  the  two  series.  The  scheme  is:  —

The  Greater  Asclepiadean. 

2670.  This  is  a  composite  verse,  consisting  of  three  series.  It  differs  from 
the  preceding  (2669)  in  having  a  syncopated  logaoedic  dipody  (tow  I  it.) 
inserted  between  the  two  tripodies.  The  three  series  are  regularly  separated 
by  diaeresis.  The  scheme  is  therefore:  —

The  Greater  Sapphic. 

2671.  This  is  a  composite  verse,  consisting  of  a  syncopated  logaoedic 
tetrapody  +  a  syncopated  logaoedic  tetrapody  catalectic.  There  is  regularly 
a  diaeresis  between  the  two  series,  and  a  caesura  after  the  thesis  of  the  first 
dactyl.  The  scheme  is  :  —

An  example  is  :  — 

Te  de|5s  o|ro  ||  Sybalrin  1+ cur  propejrgs  a|mdn|d6

2672.  (1.)  The  second  series  has  the  same  form  as  the  Aristophanic,  if  the  latter 
be  written  as  a  tetrapody  (see  2658  ad  fin.). 

2673.  (2.)  Horace  (1,  8)  is  the  only  Latin  poet  who  makes  use  of  the  Greater 
Sapphic.  It  seems  to  be  an  imitation  of  the  Greek  Sapphic  :  —

but  if  so,  the  imitation  is  not  exact. 


The  Priapean. 

2674.  This  verse  is  employed  by  Catullus  (17)  and  in  the  Pridpea  (86). 
It  consists  of  a  syncopated  logaoedic  tetrapody  -f  a  syncopated  logaoedic 
tetrapody  catalectic.  There  is  regularly  a  diaeresis  between  the  two  parts, 
but  hiatus  and  syllaba  anceps  are  not  allowed  at  the  end  of  the  first  series. 
The  scheme  is  :  —

(Cat.  Fr.). 

The  first  series  has  the  same  form  as  the  Glyconic  (2660).  and  the  second  series 
has  the  same  form  as  the  Pherecratean,  if  the  latter  be  written  as  a  tetrapody  (see 
2659  ad  fin.). 


DACTYLO-TROCHAIC  RHYTHMS. 

2675  Dactylo-Trochaic  verse,  like  logaoedic,  is  composed  of 
dactyls  and  trochees  ;  but  whereas  in  logaoedic  verse  the  dactyls  and 
trochees  occur  within  the  same  metrical  series,  in  dactylo-trochaic  they 
always  form  separate  series.  Hence  dactylo-trochaic  verses  are  always 
composite,  consisting  of  two  or  more  series  in  combination. 

2676.  It  is  uncertain  whether  the  dactyls  in  dactylo-trochaic  verse  were  cyclic 
(2523)  or  whether  there  was  a  change  of  time  in  the  middle  of  the  verse.

The  Greater  Arciiilochian. 

2677.  This  verse  is  composed  of  a  dactylic  tetrameter  acatalectic  +  a 
trochaic  tripody.  There  is  regularly  a  diaeresis  after  the  first  colon,  and  a 
caesura  after  the  third  thesis.  The  fourth  foot  is  always  a  pure  dactyl.  The 
third  foot  is  very  often  a  spondee.  The  scheme  is  :  —

(H.4,  1). 

In  Archilochus  the  verse  is  said  to  have  been  asynartetic  (2535)  ;  but  Horace  and 
Prudentius  do  not  allow  hiatus  or  syllaba  anccps  in, the  diaeresis,  and  Prudentius  some¬ 
times  neglects  the  diaeresis  altogether. 

The  Iambelegus. 

2678.  This  verse  consists  of  a  trochaic  dimeter  catalectic  with  anacrusis 
+  a  Lesser  Archilochian  (2579).  No  resolutions  are  allowed  in  the  first 
colon,  and  the  dactyls  in  the  second  colon  are  never  replaced  by  spondees. 
There  is  regularly  a  diaeresis  between  the  two  cola.  The  scheme  is  :  —

An  example  is  :  — 

Ru|pere  |  nec  majter  do  mum  ^  caerula  |  tS  reve|h6t 

(H.  Epod.  13,  16). 

2679.  This  verse  occurs  only  in  the  Second  Archilochian  Strophe  (2726)  of  Horace. 
Some  authorities  treat  the  first  colon  as  an  iambic  dimeter.  The  name  Iambelegus 
was  given  to  the  verse  because  the  ancient  grammarians  regarded  it  as  a  dactylic  pen¬ 
tameter  for  the  first  half  of  which  an  iambic  colon  had  been  substituted. 

The  Elegiambus. 

2680.  This  verse  consists  of  the  same  cola  as  the  Iambelegus  (2678),  but 
in  reverse  order.  Spondees  are  not  admitted  in  the  first  colon,  and  no  reso¬ 
lutions  occur  in  the  second  colon.  There  is  regularly  a  diaeresis  between 
the  cola.  The  scheme  is  :  —

2681.  This  verse  occurs  only  in  the  Third  Archilochian  Strophe  (2727)  of  Horace. 
The  name  Elegiambus  is  given  to  it  as  being  the  reverse  of  the  Iambelegus  (see  2679). 

ANAPAESTIC  RHYTHMS. 

2682.  In  these  the  fundamental  foot  is  the  anapaest  w  w  J_,  for 

which  its  metrical  equivalents  the  spondee _ !_,  dactyl _ and  pro- 

celeusmatic  are  sometimes  substituted. 

473 


2683-2686.]  Appendix  (E.) :  Prosody. 


2683.  The  anapaestic  verse  of  the  early  Latin  comedy  is  extremely  irregular,  and 
its  limits  are  often  hard  to  define.  Spondees  and  apparent  bacchii  (reduced  to  ana¬ 
paests  by  the  law  of  iambic  shortening;  see  2470)  are  extremely  common,  and  metrical 
irregularities  of  various  kinds  abound.  The  Latin  language  has  so  few  anapaestic 
words  that  it  does  not  lend  itself  readily  to  this  rhythm.  Terence  wisely  abstained 
altogether  from  anapaestic  verse.  Varro,  Seneca,  and  Prudentius  and  other  late 
writers  wrote  anapaests  conforming  more  closely  to  Greek  models. 


The  Anapaestic  Tetrameter  Acatalectic  (or  Octo- 

narius). 


2684.  This  consists  of  four  anapaestic  dipodies  or  eight  complete  ana¬ 
paestic  feet.  There  is  regularly  a  diaeresis  after  the  fourth  foot,  and  the  last 
thesis  of  the  line  is  never  resolved.  Hiatus  and  syllaba  anceps  sometimes 
occur  in  the  diaeresis,  the  verse  being  asynartetic  (2535).  The  scheme  is  :  —

2685.  The  proceleusmatic  is  very  rare  in  the  fourth  foot,  but  the  spondee  is  very 
common  there.  Some  editors  divide  the  anapaestic  octonarii  into  dimeters  (or  qua- 
ternarii)  and  write  them  as  such. 


The  Anapaestic  Tetrameter  Catalectic 

(or  Septenarius). 

2686.  This  is  like  the  preceding,  except  that  the  last  foot  is  incomplete. 
The  seventh  thesis  may  be  resolved.  There  is  regularly  a  diaeresis  after  the

CRETIC  RHYTHMS. 

2691.  These  are  rhythms  of  the  Hemiolic  class  (2527),  in  |  time. 
The  fundamental  foot  is  the  Cretic  (_L  w  _i_). 

Either  (but  not  both)  of  the  two  longs  of  a  Cretic  is  sometimes  resolved 
(giving  the  First  Paeon  _L  w  w  w  or  the  Fourth  Paeon  d/  w  w  — )  ;  but 
there  is  rarely  more  than  one  resolution  in  a  single  verse.  The  middle  short 
is  sometimes  replaced  by  an  irrational  long  (giving  J_  >  _j_,  or  if  there  is 
resolution,  ^  w  >  _i_  or  >  v/  w) ;  but  this  never  occurs  in  the  last  foot 
of  a  verse,  and  but  rarely  when  the  middle  syllable  is  the  penult  of  a  spondaic 
word  (e.  g.  nos  nostras). 

2692.  (1.)  The  ictus  on  the  first  long  of  the  Cretic  was  probably  (at  least  in  most 
cases)  stronger  than  that  on  the  second.  The  first  long  and  the  short  form  the  thesis, 
the  second  long  the  arsis,  t  K ,  [  . 

2693.  (2.)  The  impetuous,  swinging  movement  of  the  Cretic  rhythm  fits  it  for  the 
expression  of  passionate  emotion. 


The  Cretic  Tetrameter  Acatalectic. 


2694.  This  verse  consists  of  four  complete  Cretic  feet.  There  is  usually 
a  diaeresis  after  the  second  foot,  but  sometimes  there  is  instead  a  caesura 
after  the  first  long  of  the  third  foot.  Resolution  is  not  admitted  before  the 
diaeresis  or  the  end  of  the  line.  The  irrational  long  middle  syllable  is  ad¬ 
mitted  in  the  first  and  third  feet.  The  scheme  is  :  —

and  sometimes  with  a  trochaic  tripody  acatalectic  (e.  g.  PL  Ps.  1248),  a  trochaic  di-

bacchIac  rhythms. 

2698.  These  are  rhythms  of  the  Hemiolic  class  (2527),  in  |  time. 
The  fundamental  foot  is  the  Bacchlus  (w  _L  _0-  Either  (or  both)  of 
the  two  longs  of  a  bacchius  is  sometimes  resolved.  For  the  initial 
short  syllable  an  irrational  long  is  sometimes  substituted.  Occasion¬ 
ally  two  shorts  are  so  substituted,  especially  in  the  first  foot  of  a  verse. 

2699.  (1.)  The  ictus  on  the  first  long  of  the  bacchlus  was  probably  stronger  than 
that  on  the  second  long. 

2700.  (2.)  The  bacchiac  rhythm,  like  the  Cretic,  has  an  impetuous  and  passionate 
character. 


The  Bacchiac  Tetrameter  Acatalectic. 

2701.  This  verse  consists  of  four  complete  bacchiac  feet.  There  is  gen¬ 
erally  a  caesura  after  the  first  long  of  the  second  or  third  foot,  or  (more 
rarely)  a  diaeresis  after  the  second  foot.  An  irrational  long  (or  two  shorts) 
may  be  substituted  for  the  initial  short  only  in  the  first  and  third  feet.  Re¬ 
solution  is  not  allowed  before  the  caesura  or  the  end  of  the  verse.  The

Appendix  (E.) :  Prosody. 


2702.  (1.)  There  are  seldom  more  than  two  resolutions  in  the  same  verse,  and 
never  more  than  three.  Bacchiac  tetrameters  are  often  repeated  to  form  systems. 

2703.  (2.)  According  to  some  authorities,  bacchiac  tetrameters  catalectic  some¬ 
times  occur,  e.  g.  PI.  Cas.  656,  867,  Men.  969,  971,  Most.  313,  Poen.  244. 


Other  Bacchiac  Verses. 

2704.  (1.)  Bacchiac  dimeters  are  occasionally  found,  especially  as  clausulae  to 
bacchiac  systems.  An  example  is  :  — 

Ad  aeta|t(em)  agundam 

(PI.  Tri.  232). 

An  acatalectic  dimeter  is  not  seldom  compounded  with  a  catalectic  iambic  tri- 
pody:  e.  g. 

Rerin  ter|  in  4nno  ^  t(u)  has  tdnjsitSjrl? 

(PI.  B.  1127). 

2705.  (2.)  Bacchiac  hexameters  occur  in  a  few  instances,  as:  — 

Satin  par|var5sest  |  volupta|t(um)  in  vit(a)  at|qu(e)  in  a£ta|t(e)  agunda 

(PL  Am.  633). 

2706.  (3.)  Hypermetrical  combination  of  bacchii  into  a  system  appears  to  occur  in 
Varro,  Sat.  Men.  fr.  405  Buech. 


CHORIAMBIC  RHYTHMS. 

2707.  In  these,  the  fundamental  foot  is  the  choriambus  (J_  w  w  .  ). 
True  choriambic  verse  is  very  rare  in  Latin  poetry,  though  apparent  chori- 

ambi  of  the  form  J__  ww  I  _  or  1  ww  |  lL  are  common  in  logaoedic 

verse  (2652). 

Apparently,  however,  in  Terence,  Ad.  61  t— 1 3, 

Ut  neque  quid  |  me  faciam|  nec  quid  agam  ijt  certum|sit, 
membra  metu  |  dgbilia  |  sunt,  animus  4I  timore 
dbstipuit,  |  pectore  con|Sistere  nil  ^  consi|li  quit, 

there  are  three  choriambic  trimeters,  the  first  two  with  iambic  close,  the  third  with 
trochaic.  I11  the  second  line  there  is  syllaba  ancejs  at  the  end  of  the  second  choriam¬ 
bus.  In  Plautus,  Casina  629,  MenaecJnni  no,  and  perhaps  Asinaria  133,  we  have 
a  choriambic  dimeter  -j-  an  acatalectic  trochaic  dipody. 

Owing  to  the  frequent  occurrence  of  the  apparent  choriambus  in  certain  kinds  of 
logaoedic  verse,  the  metricians  of  Horace’s  day  regarded  them  as  really  choriambic. 
Hence  the  rule  mentioned  in  2652,  a  rule  unknown  to  Greek  writers  of  logaoedic 
verse. 

IONIC  RHYTHMS. 

2708.  In  these,  the  fundamental  foot  is  the  Ionic,  of  which  there  are  two 
forms,  the  Ionic  a  maiore  1_  \j  w*  so  called  because  it  begins  with  the 
greater  part  (i.  e.  the  thesis)  of  the  foot,  and  the  Ionic  a  mindre  \j  \j  JL 
which  receives  its  name  from  the  fact  that  it  begins  with  the  less  important 
part  of  the  foot  (i.  e.  the  arsis). 

2709.  (1.)  Ionics  a  mindre  are  often  treated  as  Ionics  a  maiore  with  anacrusis, 

w  w  |  J_ _ &c.  See  2529  ad Jin.

Versification. 


[2710-2714. 


2710.  (2.)  Ionic  verse  shows  numerous  resolutions  and  irrational  longs,  especially 
in  early  Latin.  The  accumulation  of  short  syllables  imparts  to  the  verse  a  wild  and 
passionate  character. 

2711.  (3.)  Anaclasis  (Gr.  avaicXcuris,  “abending  back”)  is  an  exchange  of 

place  between  a  short  syllable  and  the  preceding  long  (e.  g .  w  w  for 

J i_  \j  \j  or  \j  \j  JL  \j  I  •  \j  J_  •  for  \j  J i_  |  J_  »  ),  and 

is  very  frequent  in  Ionic  verse. 

The  Ionic  a  mai5re  Tetrameter  Catalectic  (or 

Sotadeaii). 

2712.  This  verse  consists  of  four  Ionic  a  maidre  feet,  the  last  foot  being 

incomplete.  In  the  early  Latin  poets,  beginning  with  Ennius,  the  Sotadean 

is  treated  with  much  freedom  :  resolution,  contraction  (2518),  anaclasis  (2711), 

and  irrational  longs  are  freely  admitted.  Examples  are  :  — 

/

2713.  Later  poets  (Petronius,  Martial,  Terentianus  Maurus)  are  more 
strict  in  their  usage,  admitting  (with  very  few  exceptions)  only  the  forms 

w  w _ w  _ w  besides  the  normal  J_ _ \j\j  .  Hence 

their  scheme  is  :  —

Laevius  and  Yarro  employ  Ionic  a  maidre  systems  of  considerable  length. 

The  Ionic  a  minore  Tetrameter  Catalectic  (or 

Galliambic. ) 

2714.  This  consists  of  four  Ionic  a.  minore  feet,  the  last  one  incomplete. 
Anaclasis ,  resolution,  and  contraction  are  extremely  common,  and  the  multi¬ 
plication  of  short  syllables  gives  the  verse  a  peculiarly  wild  and  frenzied 
movement.  Catullus  very  rarely  admits  Ionics  that  are  not  anaclastic 
( never  in  the  first  half  of  the  verse,  except  the  doubtful  cases  63,  18 ;  54;  75) ; 
but  Varro  is  less  strict  in  this  regard.  The  penultimate  long  is  nearly  always 
resolved.  There  is  rarely  more  than  one  resolution  in  the  same  half-verse. 
A  diaeresis  regularly  occurs  after  the  second  foot.  The  scheme  is  :  —

in  strophes  of  four  lines  each.  Catullus  (30)  seems  to  use  the  Greater  Asclepiadean 
by  distichs,  and  so  apparently  Sappho  (fr.  69,  Bergk).  But  as  to  these  points  there  is

2 736-2 738.]  Appendix  (E.) :  Prosody. 


Sappho  apparently  treated  the  third  Sapphic  and  the  Adonic  as  continuous ;  but 
Horace  and  Catullus  allow  syllaba  anceps  (and  Horace  in  four  cases,  1,  2,  47  ;  1 
12,  7,  and  31  ;  1,  22,  15,  hiatus)  at  the  end  of  the  third  line.  On  the  other  hand,  both 
Catullus  and  Horace  sometimes  join  the  third  line  to  the  fourth  (by  dividing  a  word 
Hor.  1,  2,  19;  25,  11 ;  2,  16,  7;  Cat.  11,  11  ;  by  elision  Hor.  4,  2,  23;  Car.  Saec.  47 ; 
Cat.  11,  19),  and  in  a  few  instances  the  second  to  the  third  (Hor.  2,  2,  18;  16,  34  ;  4,  2, 
22  ;  Cat.  11,22,  all  by  elision)  by  synapheia  (see  25 10).  In  Horace,  the  last  foot  of  the 
third  line  is  nearly  always  an  irrational  spondee. 

2736.  (XVIII.)  The  Alcaic  Strophe,  two  Greater  Alcaics  (2667),  a

In  the  Greek  poets  the  last  two  lines  are  sometimes  joined  by  synapheia 
(2510),  and  Horace  has  elision  at  the  end  of  the  third  verse  in  2,  3,  27; 
3,  29,  35.  But  he  frequently  admits  hiatus  in  that  place.

2738.  Catullus  in  34  uses  a  strophe  consisting  of  three  Glyconics  (2660)

2  74°~2745-]  List  °f  Abbreviations. 


Abbreviations  used  in  Citing  the  Authors. 

2740.  In  Part  First,  in  which  authors  are  occasionally  cited,  but  without 
direct  reference  to  their  works,  the  usual  abbreviations  are  employed :  as, 
Plaut.,  Ter.,  Cic.,  Verg.,  Hor.,  &c.,  &c. 

2741.  In  Part  Second,  the  principles  adopted  are  as  follows: 

2742.  (1.)  A  reference  consisting  of  figures  alone  (as,  2,  2,  3),  denotes 
book,  chapter,  and  section  of  Caesar  de  Bello  Gallico. 

2743.  (2.)  A  reference  to  a  work  (in  italics),  without  a  preceding  abbre¬ 
viation  for  the  author’s  name  (as,  TD.  r,  2;  Mil.  3),  denotes  the  book  and 
section,  or  the  section  only,  of  a  work  by  Cicero.  The  abbreviations  used 
to  denote  his  works  are  given  in  the  list  below  (2745). 

2744.  (3.)  A  reference  made  to  Vergil  (V.),  followed  by  figures  alone,  is 
a  reference  to  the  Aeneid :  as,  V.  r,  20.  Similarly,  H.  stands  alone  for  the 
Odes  of  Horace  ;  O.  alone  for  the  Metamorphoses  of  Ovid  ;  and  Ta.  alone  for 
the  Annals  of  Tacitus. 

2745.  (4.)  Roman  letters  are  used  in  the  abbreviations  of  the  names  of 
authors,  italics  in  the  abbreviations  of  the  names  of  their  works,  as  in  the  fol¬ 
lowing  List :  —
